St. John’s Episcopal Church in Stamford is offering a new summer class that integrates simple dance and yoga moves with contemporary Christian music. Each rain-or-shine session begins with a centering prayer, then moves into a warm up for the cardio-dance segment, and mixes in meditation and basic yoga poses for a fun, faith-filled workout.

Beginning July 12, this class takes place every Tuesday evening from 6:15-7:15pm at St. John’s Episcopal in downtown Stamford, located at 628 Main Street. Free parking is available under Canterbury Green on Suburban Street. A free will offering is encouraged.

The summer classes take place in an outdoor courtyard. Kathleen Gallagher has been leading Christian Yoga at St. John’s for many years and recently decided to update the format to bring in more cardio along with stretching, balance and relaxation. The purpose of this class is to go deeper physically and spiritually. Gallagher is a certified Kripalu yoga instructor and has been teaching for over 10 years.
