Jessica Zubrod I absolutely love Holy Yoga.  There are very few non-negotiable things in my schedule and Holy Yoga is certainly one of them. I always look forward to going, I enjoy it the whole time I’m there and I leave feeling incredibly refreshed in body and soul.  To be still and quiet while having God’s word read over me is a gift.  I leave feeling both physically and spiritually stronger when I leave the practice each week. Kristin Ryan I love yoga!  It’s been a class I have taken pretty consistently over the past 5 years, through ups and downs in my fitness and 3 pregnancies.  When I heard about Holy Yoga, I knew I had to try it!  About a year ago, I stepped out of “gym yoga” into Holy.  It brings everything I look for in a class – flexibility, a little strength, relaxation, and calm.  It adds the best element of all – my growing faith!  I began Holy Yoga with Nancy during my 3rd pregnancy.  The class was easily adapted over several months for my growing needs.  It’s suitable fo

Benefits of Yoga

Benefits of Yoga The word yoga means “to join or yoke together” and combines the practice of movement, breath work, and meditation. High Places Yoga centers these three things around Christ and focuses on filling our minds with the truth of God’s word. As Christians, we recognize that God created our bodies, God Created breath, and God calls us to meditate on His Word day and night. Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8 All three components of yoga are combining what God created to glorify and honor Him. In Luke 10:27, Jesus calls us to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind.” And Acts 17:28 says, “For in him we live and move and have our being.” Benefits of Yoga Have you ever felt held back from your full body potential?

Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith We believe the Bible to be the inspired and authoritative Word of God. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless human life, in His divine miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection o

After having two children, she did not return to full-time work as a clinical dietitian but found much joy and purpose in volunteering as a leader in her church, helping friends with nutrition, and leading fitness and nutrition workshops. She was introduced to yoga during this time. In May 2019, Nancy finished her 200 hours of Holy Yoga Instructor Training (C -HYI 200) with Brooke Boon and the Holy Yoga professionals in Arizona. Nancy’s yoga journey began as a stay-at-home mom while serving as coordinator of her MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group at Willowdale Chapel. A friend challenged her to combine her passions for fitness and for praying scripture, which directed her to Holy Yoga. Over four years she practiced Holy Yoga as a way to challenge her body in flexibility, strength, and
