Living in God’s Rhythm: Ayurveda Practices for the Christian Yogi

How Holy Rhythms Can Help You Live in Balance and Walk Closer With Christ

As yogis and followers of Christ, we’re often seeking practice things we can do to live in the present with the Prince of Peace and balance in a world that rarely slows down. Ayurveda, often called “the science of life,” and “the science of longevity” offers timeless wisdom about how to live in harmony with the way God designed us. When we approach that wisdom through the lens of faith, we discover something powerful: a practical way to live in rhythm with the Creator Himself.

That’s what Holy Rhythms: Ayurveda Practices for a Christ-Led Life is all about.

Understanding the Doshas: The Unique Way God Designed You

In Ayurveda, every person is made up of three energies or doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Each one reflects aspects of God’s creation—air and space, fire and water, earth and water.
When these elements are balanced, we live with energy, clarity, and peace. When they’re imbalanced, we may feel scattered, burnt out, or heavy.

• Vata (Air + Space) represents creativity, movement, and inspiration. When Vata is balanced, we feel connected to God’s breath, the Spirit that gives life. When unbalanced, we might feel anxious or ungrounded.
• Pitta (Fire + Water) reflects passion, drive, and discernment. When in balance, we can focus on our purpose and serve with clarity. When out of balance, we may feel angry, critical, or restless.
• Kapha (Earth + Water) embodies steadiness, compassion, and peace. When balanced, we feel rooted in grace. When off balance, we might become stagnant or resistant to change.

Understanding your dosha is less about labeling yourself—and more about noticing how God designed your body and temperament to function best. It’s an act of holy awareness, a way of saying:

“Lord, thank You for how You’ve created me. Teach me to honor that design.”

How Holy Rhythms Bible Study Helps You Live This Out

The Holy Rhythms: Ayurveda Practices for a Christ-Led Life experience helps you apply these principles through a Christian lens. You’ll learn how to:

• Care for your body as the temple of the Holy Spirit through rest, nourishment, and movement.
• Recognize your natural energy patterns and invite the Holy Spirit to bring balance.
• Create daily rhythms that support your wellbeing and deepen your intimacy with God.
• Replace striving and burnout with grace-filled awareness and Sabbath rest.

The Heart of Holy Rhythms: The Bible Study

At the center of this offering is the Holy Rhythms Bible Study, where we ground everything in scripture. Together, we explore what the Word says about balance, embodiment, and sacred rest. Each week, you’ll reflect on verses that connect to the themes of awareness, surrender, and divine rhythm, discovering how Biblical truth and Ayurvedic wisdom beautifully intertwine.

This is where the transformation happens: in community, in conversation, and in the quiet spaces where the Word becomes alive in you.

Step Into the Rhythm of Grace

Ayurveda reminds us that balance is not something we achieve, it’s something we continually return to. Holy Rhythms invites you to return again and again to the One who created your rhythm in the first place.
