Holy Yoga Instructor Kim Davis Cooper

An Alaska family at heart my husband Isaac and I homeschool our two kids ages six and eight. We moved to Virginia in the fall of 2018 and it has embraced us with a beautiful community that at its center loves Jesus and cares deeply for one another. I am a homesteader in the making with two of my passions being gardening and baking all things sourdough.

Yoga has been a part of my life since I was 16. Seasons have come and gone but no matter what style of fitness I would try I would always find myself back on the mat. Holy Yoga is a unique experience that takes the physical practice of yoga and immerses it in the truth of God’s word . In my classes it is of utmost importance to create a space where you can come, still your mind of all the noise and meet God in your mat.
