The Body Remembers
In “The Body That Remembers,” a father confronts pain, lineage, and limits as yoga becomes a discipline of return.

Conclusion (part V). Yoga, an Act of Surrender, Faith, Spirit, Sacrament, Ecclesia, Missiology, and Anointment
IN THIS series, I’ve treated yoga as a spiritual life practice and drawn comparisons between Christian and yoga spirituality. But of course, it’s also an individual practice with wide interpretation.
