Holy Yoga

Dawn Rutledge, Founder of The Living Well Retreats, is a Certified Holy Yoga Instructor, Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor and Am I Hungry? Facilitator. Dawn's passion is to weave her love of fitness together with her passion for helping others achieve better physical, mental, and spiritual health through yoga and other forms of exercise. Dawn was led to Holy Yoga as a student and found it to be so compelling and rewarding that she decided to deepen her understanding and commitment through the teacher instructor program. She soon realized that she had been called to teach others and share the amazing gift she had been given. "When I fiirst started to practice 'traditional' yoga, the spiritual connection was for me. I was turned off by the mysticism and chanting, and I felt disconnected from God and my body while on my mat. When I was introduced to Holy Yoga, I found exactly what had been missing. I couldn’t get enough of it. As a result, I decided to go through Holy Yoga Instructor Training to deepen my understanding of yoga and my connection to Christ - without any plans to actually teach it. Near the end of my training, I was called to teach and have been teaching ever since. I fall more in love with yoga and Christ every time I'm on my mat, whether I'm practicing or teaching. It is an amazing gift to be able to dedicate our bodies to worship and experience His beauty and grace on our mat. I am truly blessed to be able to share this with others."
