What We Believe
At YogaFaith, we want to intimately connect people to Christ; mind, body, spirit and soul. We strive to train up world class leaders as well as redeem biblical principles from yogic techniques. Our teachings are centered on the Bible, the complete and authoritative Word of God acts as our guide in all that we do and seek. (Mark 12:2832, Isaiah 61).

Our Story
[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
YogaFaith was born out of a 21 day fast that Michelle embarks on at the beginning of every year. God led her to Mark 12:30. “Worship the Lord with all your might, with all your strength, with all your being.” This is YogaFaith. We are simply worshiping the Lord with our whole being. Acts. 17:28 Says that in Him we move, we live, we breathe, and we have ourbeing. Whether we are washing dishes, lifting weights, taking a zumba class, or simply stretching, we glorify our maker with everything He has given us. Romans 12:2 reminds us to take our everyday coming and goings, and offer it up as worship and prayer.
In January of 2018 YogaFaith celebrated its 5-year anniversary. Since its inception YogaFaith has certified hundreds of students all over the world and now has an east coast training facility in Maryland.
