About Dayna Gelinas

As a Christian who taught high school English, I kept two constants in my life: Jesus and physical fitness. My highly-demanding teaching career required that I keep balanced emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically, and although attending church kept me grounded spiritually, going to a gym (after 15 years) was no longer supplying the whole-person fitness that I was seeking. I tried kick-boxing and dance until the calming, spiritual element of yoga caught my attention.  At my first official yoga class in 1998 I found the rest and quiet for my mind, as well as the stretching and strengthening for my body, that I desired. I immediately left the competitive, performance-based styles of exercise for the more accepting one of yoga.  To me, yoga echoed the truth of the words in Isaiah 30:15, “In quietness and trust is your strength.”

     After two years of practicing yoga, I went through an extensive training program with the Atlanta Yoga Fellowship and became certified at the 200 hour level. In 2002 I became an *RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) in the hopes that I could teach yoga from a Christian perspective. I wanted to more openly incorporate Christ– His truth, His balance, His strength, His peace– into the practice of yoga, and I wanted to share with other Believers three things:

  1. Yoga is a discipline to fortify both physical and spiritual health.
  2. By practicing yoga postures, overall health of the body, mind, and nervous system improve.
  3. By adding Biblical scripture and prayer to a yoga practice, the faith of the one who practices grows.

Most importantly, I wanted to help others discover the connection between their physical and spiritual well-being. As the body, mind and spirit combine in pursuing health, the whole person benefits– not just the body and mind– but the spirit as well. With these goals, my weekly classes began in 2002 and by February of 2003 New Day Yoga was born.  To this day my regular students continue to be a source of inspiration for me.
