Getting Still Yoga is dedicated to exploring the rich intersections of yoga philosophy and Christian theology. We offer high-level teacher trainings that equip students to teach yoga from a Christian perspective and to hold sacred space where others can encounter the peace and presence of God in their bodies. At the heart of our training is the Tabernacle Embodiment Template—a signature framework designed to guide Christ-centered yoga and meditation. This template is used by all of our teachers in The Yoga Abbey, our online yoga sanctuary offering classes and meditations rooted in Christian faith.

Student reviews
I loved the entire process of training with Getting Still Yoga! The staff and community were a highlight for me. The content was a forming and holistic challenge for mind, body, and soul.
I was very well prepared by the teachers with The Yoga Abbey to provide yoga instruction with excellent cuing for asanas and alignment, emphasis on breath within movement, and understanding of the 5 Intentions of a yoga sequence.
