    30 Thoughts from a Christian Yogi

    About this ebook

    What is Christian yogi? Can a person be both Christian and a yogi? Isn’t devotion to yoga contrary to practicing Christianity? Adams’ brief but powerful work provides us with a lens through which we can observe just such a person. Throughout, we see that, not satisfied with settling for less than all she can squeeze out of this life, Adams stretches herself, her beliefs, and her spirit, as she demands fullness, presence and truth. To seek this in oneself and in others is a hallmark of the devoted yogi. The writings are strategically placed with beautifully captured images. This book will encourage your thoughts to go beyond the physical, give insight on perceptions of life during trying times, challenge limitations you may have, and keep you coming back to read over and over again.

      I am more than appreciative to my heavenly Father, my King, and my every thing for this incredible opportunity to express through words what He has done. To let me live, learning to see life in the vastness of its beauty. Now a shout out to my dad, who helped raise me here on this earth, and is now with our Beloved (I am a bit jealous). You inspired me to love with grace and compassion as Jesus did. If it weren’t for you, this book and the ones to come would not be written. Barry L. Adams, you were taken so soon, yet impacted thousands of hearts. I miss you daddy and thank you for encouraging me to write.

      A love note to my children: Luke, Andrew, Seth and Eve, I wouldn’t have made it here this long, if it hadn’t had been for you, a.k.a.: my angels. You lit my days when I was struggling to get out of bed. You reminded me of my purpose and the hope we have. Laughter is essential and my ‘boo’ bears always assist in accomplishing just that. My precious children, you allow my heart to grow stronger and wider, my gratitude for you will never end. Thank you Mom and Dane-dane (my sister), I love you. You are my family and without you I wouldn’t be who I am. Mother, I am strong because you were. Dana, God knew exactly what he was doing planting us in the same family, I will always take comfort hearing your voice.

      David Carpenter, my spiritual dad, thank you for picking me up when I was down through prayer and speaking the truth in love. See you down under! Alyssa Katherine Vine, where do I begin? From middle school until this moment, you accepted me every second. My tears of joy cannot wash over you enough. You unselfishly displayed whom Jesus truly is, with arms wide open...he welcomes us into his home, and not caring about the mud we track in. I am always humbled to be in the presence of such a dear friend. Dwayne Cooper-Milan, that’s NOT my name and I love you in all your glory!

      Family and friends to whom I am much obliged, thank you for being a part of my life story and shedding your love upon this ADHD girl. I adore how God strategically placed EVERY single one of you in my path because He makes our steps firm.

      Dawn Yager, owner and teacher at Shanti Yoga Studio in Myrtle Beach, SC. You, my guru love, are an inspiration that leads others to their destination. Thank you for being obedient to your calling, which helped me understand what yoga is. I am grateful for you, teacher, and this never-ending journey. Blessings as you continue to
