Christian Yoga for Bedtime: Guided Prayer of Examen
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- This is an 18 minute Christian Yoga for Bedtime practice guiding you through the Prayer of Examen.
We begin with some slow gentle movements standing on our mat, and then lie down for three deeply nourishing restorative poses. These movements accompany a guided meditation through the Prayer of Examen, an ancient tool used to review your day and notice the presence of God.
You can download the steps for the Prayer of Examen here: www.carolinewi...

THE perfect way to end a day. "Do not let the sun go down..." on whatever it is that you're burdening and simply rest in HIS PRESENCE
I absolutely love your videos it has helped me get the self-care I need for my body and have that time with the Lord that I so desperately need. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Caroline, I just wanted to say how much your channel and particularly this practice has blessed me for over 3 years. Every time I come back to it I feel like the Lord’s presence and peace on me is so prevalent and I am just so thankful for you. Thank you so much and I hope you and your sweet baby and husband are doing so well and have a happy new year!
Thank you so much for your kindness, Jocelyn! So happy to hear that this channel is blessing you!
In all the worry and craziness of our country right now this was 100% exactly what I needed. I truly thank God for your videos. I feel better than I've felt in weeks. 💜
So glad to hear this, Lori! Holding you in prayer.
Love the prayer and drawing nearer to God at the end of the day! God bless and please continue with this yoga!
I just cried and cried while doing this beautiful practice tonight. I did not expect to do that. Thank you! ❤
The day was awful but this helped me let go and find God in the midst of it. Thank you for your ministry!
Thank you so much for this session Caroline. I'd love to see a few more sessions before bed as I'm struggling to sleep at the moment and this is a great way to relax and prepare for rest
God, you are so powerful. Thank you for giving me what I needed through this yoga practice, thank you for the vessel that you're making use of that is Caroline. Thank you Holy Spirit. I experienced so much release tonight, regarding a familial situation I am dealing with. Who could imagine that something as simple as yoga, a controversial practice even, among Christian circles, could be used for God's glory and our good?
So glad I came across this video. I work in the foster care system and today was really hard. This...this calmed my mind and honestly helped heal me. Thank you so much
Makaela, thank you so much for the work you do. SO glad this ministered peace to you today!
I did this practice with a pillow for my head and a blanket to cover my body. It was perfect 👌
That sounds lovely, Mara!
Finishing this practice wiping tears from my eyes. Such a beautiful an simple way to worship God.
Same. This lead me to have such a beautiful and raw moment with Jesus.
This is NOT worshipping God. It's sorcery, idolatry, and pagan practices. Please read in the Bible about steering clear of all of this. We must have DISCERNMENT!
Lovely way to end the day ❤️
Very much needed Christian Yoga prayer of examination I trust God for our goodness.
So peaceful and relaxing. Thank you.
Thank you for what you do! I've been having a difficult time with my job, in particular a difficult co-worker. I spend a lot of time trying to distract myself and not dwell on the situation, but this helped me to acknowledge this problem and start to process through it and not feel so trapped. I appreciate that God is using you in this way. Thank you Caroline for showing us your unique way to reconnect with God and heal through this wonderful body-mind-soul kind of experience.
Thank you so much for sharing this! It's so encouraging to me. Hugs, friend.
I sooooo appreciate you!!! Thank you for sharing Christian Yoga with us!
I love this it’s beautiful and restorative. Amen sister
This was a beautiful interpretation and application of the examen. Soul-filling. Exactly what I needed. I was overwhelmed with gratitude not only for finding this video and in reflecting on my day, but especially for the gift of forgiveness in Christ. So often even as Christians we are not mindful of how deeply we need His forgiveness every day-and how freely He gives it with no condemnation. Thank you for using your gift of yoga to draw others closer to Jesus. I will be sharing this video!
Jamie, thank you for your encouragement! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Blessings!
So good! This is the only video helping me go to sleep & it is so peaceful!
You are welcome, Mary! So glad you are able to get a good nights rest :)

Dear Caroline, I just found your channel! I attend a Christian yoga class at my church and love it! God bless you for bringing Christian yoga and meditation to UA-cam!
Question: I noticed this video was filmed in Mexico and saw another was filmed in Greece. If you take groups on Christian yoga and meditation retreats, I would be very interested in going! If so, where would I find this information? I’ve subscribed to your channel. May God bless you & provide all you stand in need of. Thank you!
I'm so glad you're here, D! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I do offer retreats here and there! The best place to keep up with when I'm offering retreats is my instagram @carolinewyoga. I hope this helps! Blessings to you.
@@CarolineWilliamsYoga I’m old school- not on insta or twitter.
@@CarolineWilliamsYoga Do you have any retreats scheduled for 2022? 2023?
Great work!
i really like your yoga class. my only question is if we are trying to steer away from traditional yoga why are you using the yoga term savasana? it personally interuppted my peace
Oh, Tamara, what a great question to think through and ponder. My encouragement is to take time to seek God's understanding on this - pray, meditate and journal about why the word interrupted your peace. God is such a faithful God and cares for us, if we take our concerns to Him and seek Him wholeheartedly, He doesn't withhold wisdom or peace to his children.
Some of The Yoga Abbey guides use Sanskrit words. The word savasana is translated from Sanskrit to English as corpse pose/shape. The meaning behind the shape is to be in stillness finding total rest. For me, it can be one of the most challenging shapes because of this surrendering. When I think of rest, Sabbath comes to mind and our Heavenly Father, God being the one to institute rest on the 7th day of creation. In savasana, personally I am surrendering myself to God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit who cares for me and in whom I trust in. Taking time to rest my body and thoughts on Him and His truth.
As Christian’s should we be doing poses such as shavasana that originate from Hindu and Buddhist practices? Or at least labeling them in Sanskrit?
I hear your concern, Natalie, and would encourage you to seek God about His heart for you and yoga. I have some resources on my website where I share my own belief in yoga's benefits for Christians: www.carolinewilliamsyoga.com/yoga-christianity
Caroline where would i find this prayer of examen?
