Frequently Asked Questions
Yoga is a practice, not a performance. Start with the questions below, and reach out to Beth if you need help choosing a class.
A welcoming place to begin
What is Holy Yoga?
Yoga is the practice of yoking the mind, body, and spirit through meditation, breath, and yoga poses called asana. Holy Yoga is Christ-focused and uses the Holy Bible and other inspirational material for inspiration and guidance.
Do I have to be Christian to practice Holy Yoga?
No, all are welcome. We are all interconnected. Yoga is not a religion, but a way to help us return to our true nature and self, recentering our focus on what is important in our lives and our interactions with and acceptance of others.
How do I begin?
Whether you are a longtime practitioner of yoga or a newcomer, I always recommend starting with the 30-day beginner program. This reviews the postures with regard to proper alignment and will help you progress in your practice most effectively. You can do as many classes in a day as you like, but I encourage you to take it at its daily pace in order to absorb it all. Remember, yoga is a practice.

I often hear, “I'm not good at yoga,” and “I'll take your class, but I need to get in shape first.”
I say there is no time like the present to begin! No one is “good” at yoga because it is your own practice on that day, in that moment. Maybe yoga for you today is lying on your mat, flat on your back and breathing, or taking a walk in meditation. Maybe your yoga is a flow class or trying to master a new pose. Maybe yoga is setting an intention for the day to be kind and trying to be effective in your mantra. Yoga is—and takes—practice.
What is chair yoga?
Chair yoga is a class in which we practice asana (poses) with the assistance of a chair. There are many props in yoga—blocks, straps, bolsters, and chairs. They are all aids to help us be the best we can in the pose we are striving for. The chair aids in balance, strengthening, and encouragement. It is a great alternative for those with upper-body weakness or wrist and hand injuries. All you need is a sturdy chair and a mat.

What do I wear?
It is best to wear comfortable, nonbinding clothing. Leggings, sweatpants, or shorts work perfectly with a comfortable shirt. I do not suggest shoes or socks. However, if you feel the need for them, please consider sticky socks so you do not slip. Stability is most important.
