What “CDY” is all about!
ChristiansDoYoga.com exists to help strengthen your body AND your walk with God!
We created the site to bring the freedom, healing, and growth that students experience in Kristen’s in-person classes to YOU!
Do you struggle with any of these?
- Consistency
- Anxiety
- Lack of energy
- Body image
- Comparison
- Balance
- Flexibility
- Lack of time
- Interest in yoga, but you’re not sure if it’s ok for Christians
If you said yes to any of these, you’ve come to the right place! We’re committed to helping you grow in all areas of your life: Mind, Body, and Soul!
The best place to start is with our FREE soul care checklist! I use this every day:
Whether you’re an advanced yogi who’s done this for years, or you’re brand new and want to see what this yoga stuff is all about, we have space for you! We celebrate every walk of life, age, body type, experience level, and story.
We love how the Message translation paraphrases Matthew 6. Jesus says to show up just as you are … unmasked, and as authentic as you can manage … and the Father will meet you there. “Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.” Matthew 6:6b [MSG].
There’s no need to put on a mask or a show and be someone you’re not. You have freedom here to be yourself, blemishes and all! We all have them and only damage ourselves and others by pretending we have it all together.
So here’s to growing in our faith, fitness, and life journey TOGETHER!

More about the creators of ChristiansDoYoga.com
We’re not what you might typically think of when you think of yoga. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and we like to have fun, which should be evident as you go through our resources and watch the outtakes at the end of some of our YouTube videos!
My name is Kristen and I am the co-creator of CDY.
I found yoga around 2012 when I was training for a 1/2 marathon, and I immediately fell in love with it!
My favorite poses to practice are inversions and arm balances. I love love love the play! I’ve found so much healing on my mat through learning to find joy in the chaos! As a wife & mom of 3 littles, this is often a skill I utilize off the mat!
My favorite type of class to teach is HOT POWER! Hands down. There’s something about beginning the class already uncomfortable, and taking a journey to our physical edges…and leaping right over them.
That’s where the breaking and the release happens. That’s where the strength is built. I love seeing my students embrace the struggle and committing to show up breath by breath. Laying aside all expectations & comparisons. Allowing the Lord to meet them right where they are!
My name is Nick, and I’m the other co-founder of CDY, and I do all the non-yoga stuff (create and edit our videos and pictures, manage the website, write blog posts, edit & contribute content for some of our resources, etc).
What started out as me giving Kristen some advice about starting a business (her yoga studio in Tulsa) turned into me joining her as co-owner, handling all the business and accounting side of things (I have an accounting degree…I’m one of those weird creatives who’s also right brain strong).
The only yoga I had experienced at that point was in P90X, and I wasn’t too crazy about it. But I started attending some of our classes, and something was very different about this. I had some cool encounters with Jesus on my mat, and decided that we had to take this to the web. It was too special to keep contained to just our physical studio.
