Open To Grace Christian Yoga Community Chair Yoga Class. Scripture: Jer. 33: 14-18. Mar.25

In our practice today, we spend some time at the beginning becoming mindful and present, inviting this opportunity to draw closer to God who shines his love and mercy upon us. Our scripture focus is Jeremiah 33: 14-18 , a prophesy of the coming of Jesus who is the King who remains on the throne and has offered himself as a sacrifice once and for all. I share a Lent devotional from Kathy Keller from Gospel in Life. https://gospelinlife.com/ During our warm up we move the shoulders through their range of motion and focus on some finger strengthening work. We then invite movement that focuses on the lower spine , hips and pelvis and stretch the hips in sleeping pigeon variation and wide leg squat variation. In our standing work we stretch and strengthen the legs in crescent pose, warrior 1, down dog and add a standing twist to activate the core muscles and lumbar muscles.
