A Year of Gratitude: Celebrating God’s Faithfulness Through Christian Yoga Association

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” — Psalm 107:1

As 2025 draws to a close, our hearts are overflowing with thanksgiving for the Christian Yoga Association community. What started as a vision to support and equip Christian yoga practitioners has grown into a thriving movement of faithful teachers, therapists, and seekers who are discovering and cultivating the beauty of worship through movement.

Gratitude for Our Growing CYA Family

This year, we’ve welcomed incredible new CYA trainers into our community—leaders who are bringing fresh wisdom, diverse perspectives, and deep biblical knowledge to the practice of Christian yoga. Each trainer carries a unique calling and gifts that enrich our entire community and global family. Being a witness to this expansion has been one of the greatest joys of 2025.

Honoring Our Loyal Community

To our faithful clients, our Cornerstone Members, who have been with us since 2018—you are the foundation of this ministry. Your commitment, your trust, and your dedication to integrating faith and wellness have inspired everything we do. You’ve walked with us through seasons of growth, challenged us to go deeper, and reminded us why this work matters. Thank you for your unwavering loyalty and for being ambassadors of Christian yoga in your communities.

Honoring Our Recent Certified Trainers and Members

A special celebration is in order for our recently certified CYA trainers and members who have completed their journey and stepped into teaching. You have devoted countless hours to study, practice, and prayer, emerging as equipped teachers of Christian Yoga.

The CYA is honored to represent your offerings and provide vital credentials to you. Your courage to pursue this calling, your commitment to theological integrity, and your heart to serve others reflects the very heart of our mission.

To our new Registered CYA Trainers and Educators—thank you for saying “yes” to leading others in this sacred practice. To our newly certified members—thank you for investing in your calling and bringing professional excellence to your communities. Each of you carries a unique anointing and gifting that strengthens the entire body of Christ.

We are honored to call you colleagues, grateful to call you family, and expectant to see the Kingdom impact you will make in the years ahead.

The Gift of Free Resources

One of our greatest joys has been providing free resources to support Christian yoga practitioners, teachers and educators wherever they are on their journey. We believe that access to Christ-centered wellness shouldn’t be limited by finances, and we’re committed to keeping these offerings available to all:

Classes

From foundational practices to advanced flows, our free classes meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just beginning to explore Christian yoga, there’s a practice waiting for you. One can find even more classes in the CYA shop, always for a minimal donation.

Yoga Therapy Sessions

Our complimentary yoga therapy sessions have created space for healing, breakthrough, and transformation. Watching lives change through these sacred sessions reminds us that God uses every tool for His redemptive purposes.

Meditations

Our Christ-centered meditations guide you into deeper communion with God, replacing worldly mantras and meditations with the living Word of Scripture. These contemplative practices create space to hear God’s voice and rest in His presence.

Resources for Every Christian Yoga Practitioner

From articles and guides to Scripture-based sequences and theological perspectives, we’re committed to equipping every Christian yoga practitioner and trainer with the tools, knowledge, and biblical foundation they need to practice with confidence and integrity.

The Well

Our digital sanctuary—The Well—continues to be a source of refreshment and spiritual nourishment to all our members. This sacred space offers a place to drink deeply from biblical wisdom while caring for your body and spirit.

A Community Rooted in Truth

What sets Christian Yoga Association apart isn’t just what we offer—it’s who we are together. We’re a community that refuses to compromise biblical truth while fully embracing the holistic wellness God designed for our bodies, minds, and spirits. We’re practitioners who understand that everything was created by God, through God, and for God’s glory (Colossians 1:16-17).

We’re teachers and therapists who know that caring for the body is an act of stewardship and worship.

We are a Christian family who honors and respects the many levels of each person’s unique faith walk.

We’re seekers who refuse to separate our physical practice from our spiritual lives.

The Christian Yoga Association is proud to be the only Christian Yoga Alliance representing, resourcing, and providing credentials to all Christian Yoga Trainers and Educators.

Looking Ahead with Hope

As we step into a new year, we are filled with anticipation for all that God will do through this community. The faithfulness He’s shown us since 2018 is merely a preview of the abundant journey He has planned for all of us.

To every trainer, every client, every student, every practitioner who has been part of the Christian Yoga Association family—thank you. You are the heartbeat of CYA.

May we continue to stretch our faith, deepen our roots, and bring glory to God through every breath, every movement, every moment.

“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” — Psalm 150:6

With profound gratitude,
The CYA Team
