CaraMayan is a way of moving to the Bible for exercise, fitness, worship and prayer.  It is a Christian sacred dance alternative to Tai Chi based on contemporary dance and pilates movement. It is suitable for both beginners and more advanced movers.

​

CaraMayan was developed by Mary Jones over a number of years and was taught by her at International Christian Dance Fellowship conferences and workshops. In 2009 it was launched at the ICDF conference in Scotland as a system of movement meditation that could be widely available for people to learn and teach around the world

Come let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God,

and we are the people of his pasture,

the flock under his care.  PSALM 95:6  NIV
