Proverbs 22:6 NRSV Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray.

One of the books written while Paul was in prison. The Books of the Bible Previous Book: 2nd Thessalonians Language: Greek Author: Paul Central Theme: Christian living. People: Paul - author of the letter, "an apostle of Christ Jesus" Timothy - "my beloved child in the faith" Highlights: Beware of False Teachers 1 Timothy 1; 5-7 5 But the aim of such instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith. 6 Some people have deviated from these and turned to meaningless talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make assertions. False Asceticism 1 Timothy 4:1-5 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latera times some will renounce the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 through the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared with a hot iron. 3 They forbid marriage and demand abstinence from foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, provided it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is sanctified by God’s word and by prayer. The Good Fight of Faith 1 Timothy 6: 10-14 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains. But as for you, man of God, shun all this; pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of the eternal life, to which you were called and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 In the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you 14 to keep the commandment without spot or blame until the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

One of the books written while Paul was in prison. The Books of the Bible Previous Book: 2nd Timothy Language: Greek Author: Paul Central Theme: Christian living. People: Paul - author of the letter, "a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ" Titus - "my loyal child in the faith we share" Highlights: Maintain Good Deeds Titus 3:1-8 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show every courtesy to everyone. 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, despicable, hating one another. 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. 6 This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 The saying is sure. 1 Next Book: Philemon New Revised Standard Version Liveology Yoga Studios creates uplifting content for your whole life.

One of the books written while Paul was in prison. The Books of the Bible Previous Book: Philippians Language: Greek Author: Paul Central Theme: Christian living. People: Paul - author of the letter, "an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God Timothy - "our brother" Tychicus Aristarchus - prisoner with Paul Mark - cousin of Barnabas Highlights: Do Not Let Anyone Condemn You Colossians 2:8, 16-19 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ. 1 Therefore do not let anyone condemn you in matters of food and drink or of observing festivals, new moons, or sabbaths. 17 These are only a shadow of what is to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. 18 Do not let anyone disqualify you, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, dwelling on visions, puffed up without cause by a human way of thinking, 19 and not holding fast to the head, from whom the whole body, nourished and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows with a growth that is from God. The New Life in Christ Colossians 3:1-15 So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, 3 for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory. 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry). 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming on those who are disobedient. 7 These are the ways you also once followed, when you were living that life. 8 But now you must get rid of all such things—anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive language from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have stripped off the old self with its practices 10 and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator. 11 In that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all! 12 As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13 Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. Rules for Christian Households Colossians 3:18-4:1 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly. 20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is your acceptable duty in the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, or they may lose heart. 22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only while being watched and in order to please them, but wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord. 23 Whatever your task, put yourselves into it, as done for the Lord and not for your masters, 24 since you know that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you serve the Lord Christ. 25 For the wrongdoer will be paid back for whatever wrong has been done, and there is no partiality. Col. 4:1 Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, for you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

Do not become weary in doing good. The Books of the Bible Previous Book: 2nd Corinthians Language: Greek Author: Paul Central Theme: One in Christ, Christian living. People: Paul - author of the letter, "an apostle of Christ Jesus" Timothy - "my beloved child in the faith" Highlights: From Death to Life Ephesians 2:1 You were dead through the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once lived, following the course of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedient. 3 All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God— 9 not the result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life. One in Christ Ephesians 2:11-21 So then, remember that at one time you Gentiles by birth, called “the uncircumcision” by those who are called “the circumcision”—a physical circumcision made in the flesh by human hands— 12 remember that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us. 15 He has abolished the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace, 16 and might reconcile both groups to God in one body through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it. 17 So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; 18 for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father. The Old Life and the New Ephesians 4:17-24 Now this I affirm and insist on in the Lord: you must no longer live as the Gentiles live, in the futility of their minds. 18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of their ignorance and hardness of heart. 19 They have lost all sensitivity and have abandoned themselves to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. 20 That is not the way you learned Christ! 21 For surely you have heard about him and were taught in him, as truth is in Jesus. 22 You were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Rules for the New Life Ephesians. 4:25 So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another. 26 Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and do not make room for the devil. 28 Thieves must give up stealing; rather let them labor and work honestly with their own hands, so as to have something to share with the needy. 29 Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption. 31 Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, 32 and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. Eph. 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, 2 and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. The Christian Household Ephesians 5:21 Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, be subject to your husbands as you are to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church, the body of which he is the Savior. 24 Just as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives ought to be, in everything, to their husbands. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 in order to make her holy by cleansing her with the washing of water by the word, 27 so as to present the church to himself in splendor, without a spot or wrinkle or anything of the kind—yes, so that she may be holy and without blemish. 28 In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they do their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. Eph. 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—this is the first commandment with a promise: 3 “so that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”4 And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. The Whole Armor of God Ephesians 6:10-17 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. 15 As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. 16 With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Silence Silence is a great thing. Sometimes we shy away from silence because of our own monkey minds, but silence is a great way to begin a class with calm and focused energy. Simply, invite your students to sit with you in Padmasana or lay down on their backs for quiet breathing and grounding before asana practice. Om Chanting the sacred syllable Om together can be a way to invoke the divine and create harmony between everyone in the group, including you, the teacher. Oftentimes, if you chant both at the beginning and end of class, you will notice a noticeable improvement in harmony. If you open with Om, close this way as well. Chanting Chanting can be similar to Om in its ability to create harmony within the group and tune the class in to the teacher's voice. Ashtanga yoga led classes begin with the Ashtanga opening chant. Pick a Theme Some teachers choose to guide their classes with a theme. This theme can permeate the postures you practice that day as well. Let's say you pick heart opening. You may tell the class that this is the theme and may even discuss its significance, the body parts affected, or provide a relevant reading from the Yoga Sutras. I would shy away from long stories and personal matters, but readings from sacred texts can help to provide some yoga philosophy and context for the deeper practices of yoga.

And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur. The Thousand Years 1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and threw him into the pit, and locked and sealed it over him, so that he would deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be let out for a little while. 4 Then I saw thrones, and those seated on them were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him a thousand years. Satan’s Doom 7 When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will come out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, in order to gather them for battle; they are as numerous as the sands of the sea. 9 They marched up over the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from heaven and consumed them. 10 And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. The Dead Are Judged 11 Then I saw a great white throne and the one who sat on it; the earth and the heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, the book of life. And the dead were judged according to their works, as recorded in the books. 13 And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and all were judged according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire; 15 and anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

There are numerous benefits, from improved digestion to spiritual connection. Peace family. It's Christina. So today I wanted to talk to you guys about some of the benefits of yoga. One of the biggest questions I get from people who are new to practice is simply, "What does yoga do for me? Exactly. I see that you look really flexible and like you can do poses were you a gymnast? You know, what does yoga even do for me? Is it just exercise?" First of all, I was not a gymnast. A lot of yoga teachers were not gymnasts. Yoga can help you to achieve new levels of strength and flexibility in your body at any age. It can also increase the level of flow within the body, reducing stagnation. We have internal pathways called nadis, and it just helps to increase flow among the body. So one example is let's say you do a twist, you are creating some type of constriction, almost like if you think of wringing out like a towel. You wring it out. And then as you unwind it, all this fresh blood can come through, so you're wringing out old stuff, and allowing new fresh blood, fresh water, everything fresh to come through. So it helps to eliminate toxins and waste. It can help with digestion. So if you are new to doing twist and forward folds, it can actually help to improve your digestion. It can improve the speed of your digestion, which can be really great if you have things like constipation. It can help to improve your respiratory your breathing. So it can help to expand your ribcage. Practices like deep breathing with sound which we do in our Ashtanga yoga, as well as different pranayama practices can really increase the the size of the lungs and help to take a lot more air than you otherwise would be able to. It can help you to lengthen the breath and also hold the breath for longer. It help increase prana, which is the energy lifeforce - to have more lifeforce, feel more vibrant, feel more energetic, feel more clear and bright at any time. And so yoga has a lot of different benefits, but ultimately, yoga is a spiritual discipline that's meant to help to yoke or unite body, mind and spirit. Or another way to say it is the human with the divine, or with your inner self with your higher self. And so these are spiritual practices that can help you get in touch with your physical body, clear the physical body. But it can also help to clear the subtle body and some of the energetic layers of the body, helping to get to different levels of mental clarity, helping to tap into your higher power and to really access more information from the Divine that sometimes can be accessed during regular time. And so there are lots of different benefits I have found - definitely improved digestion improved, improved ability to deal with stress, improved breathing, improved vision, and pretty much any part of the body and any part of your physical and mental experience can be improved through the practice. So I hope you enjoy practicing with us. If you have any questions about yoga, we have tons of videos, you can always get in contact with us for personalized yoga teaching. As always, love you guys.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 Psalm 46 NRSV To the leader. Of the Korahites. According to Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. Selah There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of the city; it shall not be moved; God will help it when the morning dawns. The nations are in an uproar, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah Come, behold the works of the LORD; see what desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire. “Be still, and know that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth.” The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Our songs of praise have glorified Indra who ruleth by his might. Book 1. Hymn 11. ´Indra 1 All sacred songs have magnified Indra expansive as the sea, The best of warriors borne on cars, the Lord, the very Lord of strength. 2 Strong in thy friendship, Indra, Lord of power and might, we have no fear. We glorify with praises thee, the never-conquered conqueror. 3 The gifts of Indra from of old, his saving succours, never fail, When to the praise-singers he gives the boon of substance rich in kine. 4 Crusher of forts, the young, the wise, of strength unmeasured, was he born Sustainer of each sacred rite, Indra, the Thunderer, much-extolled. 5 Lord of the thunder, thou didst burst the cave of Vala rich in cows. The Gods came pressing to thy side, and free from terror aided thee, 6 I, Hero, through thy bounties am come to the flood addressing thee. Song-lover, here the singers stand and testify to thee thereof. 7 The wily Śuṣṇa, Indra! thou o’erthrewest with thy wondrous powers. The wise beheld this deed of thine: now go beyond their eulogies. 8 Our songs of praise have glorified Indra who ruleth by his might, Whose precious gifts in thousands come, yea, even more abundantly.

Indra, bring wealth that gives delight, the victor's ever-conquering wealth, most excellent, to be our aid. Book 1. Hymn 8. ´Indra 1 Indra, bring wealth that gives delight, the victor's ever-conquering wealth, Most excellent, to be our aid; 2 By means of which we may repel our foes in battle hand to hand, By thee assisted with the car. 3 Aided by thee, the thunder-armed, Indra, may we lift up the bolt, And conquer all our foes in fight. 4 With thee, O India, for ally with missile-darting heroes, may We conquer our embattled foes. 5 Mighty is Indra, yea supreme; greatness be his, the Thunderer: Wide as the heaven extends his power 6 Which aideth those to win them sons, who come as heroes to the fight, Or singers loving holy thoughts. 7 His belly, drinking deepest draughts of Soma, like an ocean swells, Like wide streams from the cope of heaven. 8 So also is his excellence, great, vigorous, rich in cattle, like A ripe branch to the worshipper. 9 For verily thy mighty powers, Indra, are saving helps at once Unto a worshipper like me. 10 So are his lovely gifts; let lauds and praises be to Indra sung, That he may drink the Soma juice.

As a good cow to him who milks, we call the doer of fair deeds, to our assistance day by day. Book 1. Hymn 4. ´Indra 1 As a good cow to him who milks, we call the doer of fair deeds, To our assistance day by day. 2 Come thou to our libations, drink of Soma; Soma-drinker thou! The rich One's rapture giveth kine. 3 So may we be acquainted with thine innermost benevolence: Neglect us not, come hitherward. 4 Go to the wise unconquered One, ask thou of Indra, skilled in song, Him who is better than thy friends. 5 Whether the men who mock us say, Depart unto another place, Ye who serve Indra and none else; 6 Or whether, God of wondrous deeds, all our true people call us blest, Still may we dwell in Indra's care. 7 Unto the swift One bring the swift, man-cheering, grace of sacrifice, That to the Friend gives wings and joy. 8 Thou, Śatakratu, drankest this and wast the Vṛtras’ slayer; thou Helpest the warrior in the fray. 9 We strengthen, Śatakratu, thee, yea, thee the powerful in fight, That, Indra, we may win us wealth. 10 To him the mighty stream of wealth, prompt friend of him who pours the juice, Yea, to this Indra sing your song.

Indra the singers with high praise, Indra reciters with their lauds, Indra the choirs have glorified. Book 1. Hymn 7. ´Indra 1 Indra the singers with high praise, Indra reciters with their lauds, Indra the choirs have glorified. 2 Indra hath ever close to him his two bay steeds and word-yoked car, Indra the golden, thunder-armed. 3 Indra hath raised the Sun on high in heaven, that he may see afar: He burst the mountain for the kine. 4 Help us, O Indra, in the frays, yea, frays, where thousand spoils are gained, With awful aids, O awful One. 5 In mighty battle we invoke Indra, Indra in lesser fight, The Friend who bends his bolt at fiends. 6 Unclose, our manly Hero, thou for ever bounteous, yonder cloud, For us, thou irresistible. 7 Still higher, at each strain of mine, thunder-armed Indra's praises rise: I find no laud worthy of him. 8 Even as the bull drives on the herds, he drives the people with his might, The Ruler irresistible: 9 Indra who rules with single sway men, riches, and the fivefold race Of those who dwell upon the earth. 10 For your sake from each side we call Indra away from other men: Ours, and none others’, may he be.
