Our Beliefs
At the core of everything we do is a firm foundation in Jesus Christ. The Selah Movement is built upon these unchanging biblical truths, guiding how we care for the body and honor the spirit.
Statement of Faith
The Holy Trinity: We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who came in the flesh, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sins, and was physically resurrected on the third day.
Salvation by Grace: We believe that salvation is a gift from God, received entirely through faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross.
The Word of God: We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God—our ultimate truth and a daily lamp unto our feet.
The Holy Spirit: We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, serving as our Comforter, Counselor, and source of spiritual power, guiding us into truth and transforming us into the image of Christ.
Body & Stewardship: We believe the body is fearfully and wonderfully made and serves as a temple of the Holy Spirit. We view physical movement, rest, and wellness as acts of worship and intentional stewardship of the physical life God gave us.
Prayer & Spiritual Rest: We believe in the power of prayer and quiet communion with God, taking time to pause (Selah), align our hearts with Scripture, and experience His peace.
Can Christians Practice Yoga?
At The Selah Movement, our practice is anchored entirely in Christ.
We believe that stretching, strengthening, and moving the human body—which God created—is fundamentally neutral. What transforms physical exercise into a spiritual practice is intention, heart focus, and worship.
Our Approach to Movement & Worship:
Christ at the Center: Every class is dedicated to honoring God, using our physical bodies to praise Him, and anchoring our minds on Jesus.
Scripture & Prayer Over Eastern Philosophy: Our sessions prioritize clear, accessible language, functional fitness, and biblical truth. We focus on anatomical posture cues, breath prayer, Scripture meditation, and quiet reflection on God's Word—ensuring your heart and mind stay centered entirely on Jesus.
Redeemed Movement & God's Redemptive Power: We serve a God who holds the power to redeem all things—our lives, our hearts, and the way we care for our bodies. Physical postures, functional alignment, and deep breathing are healthy, God-given tools for stress reduction and strength. When practiced with our hearts focused on Christ, movement is redeemed as an act of worship, stewardship, and prayerful rest.
Here, your mat is a dedicated space to pause, breathe, and rest in God’s presence—offering your body as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to Him (Romans 12:1).
“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
— Romans 10:9 NKJV
