Pietra means “Rock” In Italian
Foundations built on rock are the strongest, and Pietra Fitness is designed to provide a strong foundation for the “whole-person”.
Our Goal is to Develop Strength of MIND, BODY, & SOUL
Since God made us mind, body and soul, it is our duty to care for each.
MIND Many mind-body-soul workouts attempt to help you relax your mind by having you empty it. God designed your mind to be used, not emptied. Pietra Fitness workouts will calm your mind—but they will also engage your mind, helping you focus on Christ and get the most out of your workout. Being in tune with Christ allows us to learn more about Him.
BODY The physical exercises used in Pietra Fitness classes are designed to increase your flexibility, develop your muscle and core strength, and increase your range of motion, posture, and stability.
SOUL To nourish the soul, we incorporate Bodily Prayer as well as scripture and meditations completely consistent with the teachings of the Church that Jesus founded on the rock of St. Peter.
Pietra Fitness is NOT ‘Christian Yoga’ or ‘Catholic Yoga’
An exercise program cannot be both because Christianity (coming from Christ) and yoga (based in Hinduism) have fundamental differences in theology and philosophy. Most Hindu and Christian philosophers would agree that “Christian Yoga” is an oxymoron because the practice is not truly yoga unless it
incorporates Hindu spirituality and/or worldview. Likewise, Christian activities are firmly centered on Christ. Yoga cannot offer the fullness of a program
designed to minister to the human person as he/she is understood within the Christian faith.
