Yoga Classes at Colonial Park

Yoga classes beginning on September 8 on Mon. & Wed. afternoons at 5:30 in the CLC.  Yoga, as typically practiced in the West, is a practice used to attain union of the mind-body-spirit through a practice of yoga postures & breathing.  Yoga is not a religion, but a spiritual practice & does not require a specific belief system to participate.  The philosophies of yoga are universal & can be incorporated within any belief system.  Yoga can be done by anyone at any physical level & requires little to no equipment.  The classes are open to everyone & are completely funded though donations, so I encourage you all to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.  Typical Yoga studios charge up to $20 per class here in the Memphis area, so stop by & take advantage of one of the many great things Colonial Park UMC has to offer.

WE HAVE COPIES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT ON CASSETTE TAPE AVAILABLE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHECK THEM OUT. 

THEY WILL BE IN THE CHURCH LIBRARY.
