Holy Listening with Breath, Body, and the Spirit

Wonderful resource, for yoga practioners and their teachers. Whitney was the first to introduce me to lectio divina and has helped embolden me to offer yoga from my Christian worldview to my students. I've used this book as a guide for a number of class series, buying multiple copies to send students home with a guide for their personal practice. And I come back to it time and again for ideas on breath prayers and even aromatherapy. I'm so grateful to call her my teacher and my friend in the field!

Each of the 40 days follows a basic structure that allows you the space to really listen for, and focus on, God’s voice using scripture, simple yoga, breath prayer, and even has suggestions to add an element of aromatherapy to the experience!Reflection questions are helpful to guide, but allows enough space for you to hear from God without leading you to “prescribed answers”.I have enjoyed using this book during Lent, but have also used this book to jumpstart a “new season” in life too!

The story of Whitney's stroke at the age of 31, is heartbreaking. Her story of healing and the part it played in her closer journey with God is filled with hope! This book is infused with the energy she brings not just to her classes, but to her life in general. Whether you have practiced yoga for years, or are a "newbie" to the discipline, I invite you to join Whitney as she shares her methods for combining the physical act of practicing yoga with the very spiritual act of listening to your body and the Holy Spirit as it speaks to you. You will not be disappointed!

I was disappointed with the amount of information here for what the book cost. It would have made a better YouTube series that demonstrated the poses.

Whitney's book is a wonderful tool for anyone searching to find ways to connect deeper with with God. The poses can be altered to your ability level and the meditations are a great way to combine activities with your mind and body to grow closer to God.

After I first purchased the book I used it for my daily morning time with God during Advent. I have bought multiple copies and also gave them as gifts. I use the breath prayers in my own yoga practice and prayer time with God as well as my classes- this book has so blessed me as well as my students!

Holy Listening is an accessible guide to learning how to meet God in a fresh and holistic way. It provides a reflective devotional series that could be used during Lent, at a spiritual retreat, or anytime in daily life to engage the mind, body, and spirit simultaneously to be renewed, encouraged, and connected to the divine presence of the Holy Spirit.

I teach Holy Yoga and this book will be a wonderful gift to share with my students. I am using the devotionals for my personal faith walk on and off my yoga mat. Whitney's testimony is amazing to read and to see how powerful our God is. I would give 10 stars if I could.

A great book to read and put the techniques and readings into daily practice. Great follow up to Brooke Boon's Holy Yoga.
