People often equate yoga with
Eastern religion, but Brooke Boon sees it as an exercise
style that Christians can use to generate patience,
strength, and deeper worship.
Author and yoga instructor Brooke Boon combines her passion

yoga as a physical and spiritual discipline that strengthens
the body and the soul. Clear explanations and photographs
make yoga accessible for any reader, and Brooke offers
customized routines for readers struggling with specific
issues, such as weight loss and anxiety. Through it all
Brooke uses scriptural references to help reinforce the idea
that by taking care of our bodies we can also take care of
our faith.
