In this episode we talk with Debi Tonsager about her beliefs in the Christian faith and how those beliefs merge with her love of teaching and practicing yoga.
Our conversation touches on the belief by some Christians that yoga is the worship to Hindu gods and sacrilegious. We hear Debi‘s point of view through her own experiences as a Christian. She believes yoga is a connection with God, and she honors God with her body through her yoga practice and teaching. She feels this connection with God every time she walks into the Yoga Shala and knows that Jesus is right beside her. Debi relates similarities between Yoga and her Christian faith with the following Bible verses-Colossians 3:12 and Romans 5:3. We also discuss Debi‘s view that we all can come together on our mat referencing Corinthians 10:31 ‘All in the glory of God’. Her belief is that God meets us where we are, so why not on our yoga mat?
