"The long experience of Nancy Roth with hatha yoga practiced in a Christian context with all age groups is brought to articulate fruition in this fine book." Tilden Edwards


"That she includes theological and biblical reasons for yoga in a Christian context makes Roth's contribution unique." Library Journal

"Nancy Roth has written a simple, thoughtful introduction to hatha yoga in a Christian context as a way of deepening a connection with God...She offers instruction in breathing, relaxation, and meditation." Yoga Journal

Although yoga is increasingly popular as a source of spiritual and physical well being, few Christians know that it is also a unique way to worship God through the ancient practices and disciplines of body prayer. Nancy Roth's An Invitation to Christian Yoga offers an introduction to the practice of yoga as a Christian discipline of prayer, followed by simple poses and exercises that are clearly explained and helpfully illustrated by line drawings. Roth offers a short biblical text, often from the psalms, to accompany each pose as basis for meditation.

This book is ideal for beginners as well as more advanced practitioners who wish to incorporate yoga into their life of daily prayer.

The Rev. Nancy Roth is an Episcopal priest, retreat leader, author, dancer, and musician. Assisting Priest at Christ Episcopal Church in Oberlin, Ohio, she travels widely as a retreat conductor and workshop leader offering classes on the integration of body and spirit.
