Yoga at Grace (Men and Women)

Grace-Filled Yoga

Have you been curious about yoga but afraid of not measuring up?  Come explore Grace-Filled Yoga.  Yoga is a practice of movement, breath and concentration that brings balance to the body, quiet to the mind, and equanimity to the emotions.  You will learn and practice a variety of poses to stretch and strengthen your muscles, lubricate your joints naturally, challenge your balance, and promote mental concentration.  This practice focuses on alignment and form tailored to individual needs.  Bring a mat if you have one, a sense of humor, and wear comfy clothes. All are welcome, no experience needed.  Questions?  Contact Robin Olson  913 710 0503  or  .

This is a Zoom Class, Mondays at 4:00 pm. Contact Robin Olson  for the link.

Grace-Filled Chair Yoga

Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga done sitting on a chair or standing on the ground while using the chair for support.  It is beneficial if you have limited mobility, want to improve flexibility, strengthen muscles, reduce stress, expand lung capacity, work on balance and have fun.  Wear comfortable clothes and shoes.  Questions? Contact Robin Olson  913 710 0503  or

We meet in person on Sundays from 2:00-3:00 PM  in the Chapel (Choir Room), with a Zoom option.

Contemplative Community (Men and Women)

This is a small group made up of lay persons, pastors, former pastors, and others from various churches in the Olathe area who all share a common interest in exploring the more quiet, contemplative modes of communicating with God. The activity or learning/practice session changes each month, covering such activities as centering prayer, welcoming prayer, walking the labyrinth, or chair yoga.  Everyone is welcome – no experience necessary.

This group now meets monthly at Grace UMC Olathe for about 60-90 minutes, hosted by Pastor Sylvia.

We meet next:  TBA

To subscribe to the email notifications for the date and subject of the next monthly gathering, please email Pastor Sherry McGlaughlin – First Christian Church, Olathe () and ask to be added to the Contemplative Community list.
