I decided to connect praying the Rosary with an exercise I love, yoga. Below is how I have been been praying the Rosary of our sweet and wonderful Mother, and I hope that if you struggle to pray the Rosary this will help you. \u00a0Use this as a guide to pray\u00a0with me, or as a spark to ignite a new idea within you to honor and pray the Rosary of our sweet Mother Mary!<\/p>\n
Acts 1:14 I then pray the Our Father<\/em> with my arms spread wide and my face tilted upward\u00a0open to both receiving and giving according to His Holy Will.<\/p>\n For each Hail Mary I go through a vinyasa yoga flow.<\/p>\n I begin in the downward-facing dog pose, a humble position showing Mary that I desire to learn from her.<\/p>\n Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee.<\/em><\/p>\n I then flow into a plank pose, a position of strength acknowledging the\u00a0great and unimaginable strength required by her to FULLY\u00a0surrender to our Lord.<\/p>\n Blessed art thou among women, I then lower into a prostrate position and spread my arms wide to form a cross as I\u00a0speak of her Holy and Blessed Son, Jesus. \u00a0I desire to be one with the dust of the ground when speaking of our Lord.<\/p>\n And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God<\/em><\/p>\n I then bring my hands in and press up into a cobra pose, the pose of a snake acknowledging that I have sinned and I have caused others to sin just as the snake in the Garden of Eden did so long ago.<\/p>\n Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n Pressing back into downward dog pose, I continue this flow for each Hail Mary.<\/p>\n Then at\u00a0the end of the first 3 Hail Mary’s or at the end of each decade I sit back into a child’s pose, a pose of rest and humility,\u00a0honoring\u00a0the Trinity, begging for forgiveness and mercy and once again acknowledging that Mary\u00a0is my mother, and I long to learn from her as I pray.<\/p>\n Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy. Amen.
