Feeling spiritually unaligned or physically disconnected from your faith journey? Today’s episode features Michelle Thielen, the founder of YogaFaith, who shares her remarkable story of overcoming deep depression through a transformative encounter with the Holy Spirit. Michelle’s journey led her to integrate biblical principles into yoga, creating a unique practice that aligns physical postures with spiritual beliefs. This intriguing conversation promises to shed light on the potential of yoga as a tool for spiritual growth and healing.

We bravely tackle the controversial topic of combining Christianity with yoga. Michelle and I discuss how all practices, even those like yoga with roots in other religious traditions, can be redeemed and used for God’s glory. Addressing common concerns such as new age practices like Kundalini, Michelle emphasizes the importance of discerning the Holy Spirit’s guidance. By incorporating elements such as music and cultural expressions into worship, we underscore that faith can and should be infused into every aspect of life, including exercise.

Our episode delves into the practicalities of Yoga Faith classes, highlighting how different postures serve as forms of worship and surrender. Michelle explains the significance of creating space for stillness and listening to God, even in our busy lives. We discuss the mission and accredited programs of Yoga Faith, offering resources for those interested in combining their spiritual journey with physical practice. This episode is a heartfelt reflection on discovering one’s purpose through faith, the necessity of community, and the joy of spreading inspiration and wisdom to others. Join us, and be encouraged to seek, grow, and trust in God’s plan.
