"For the measure you give,

will be the measure given back."

                    - Luke 6:27-38

The breath and movement practiced through FORM is inspired by the Word, helping you to realize scripture as living text in this day. The Sermon on the Mount as taught by Jesus gives you rich soil to be planted in, to grow deeper roots, and to find nourishment. We hope FORM will help you experience scripture in a fresh way.

Freedom with movement to be unburdened, peaceful and free in the Beatitudes - Matthew 5:1-12

Order with movement as you face challenges with faith
 - Matthew 5:13-48

Renewal with movement as you receive God's love and fill your mind with God's Word - Matthew 6

Meditation with movement seeking grace and truth - Matthew 7

"be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." -Romans 12:2

To learn the practice of FORM, each passage from the Bible (NASB) is integrated with a theme (highlighted in Blue at the end of each line) that prompts you to meditate on the scripture with a movement or position.

Instead of counting the repetitions of an exercise with numbers, in the practice of FORM, you will mark your movements with the Fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23: "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control".

With FORM, meditation on the Sermon on the Mount, Psalm 23 and other passages inspires movement that integrates core-conditioning principles to increase strength and flexibility. You will learn about alignment and flow as you become more calm, centered, strong and agile.

The Sermon on the Mount begins with the Beatitudes
Matthew 5:3-12

Blessed are the poor in spirit, 
     for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Presence)
Blessed are those who mourn,
      for they shall be comforted. (Longing)
Blessed are the humble and gentle,
      for they shall inherit the earth. (Expectation)
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
      for they shall be satisfied. (Abundant)
Blessed are the merciful,
      for they shall receive mercy. (Sanctity)
Blessed are the pure in heart,
      for they shall see God. (Union)
Blessed are the peacemakers,
      for they shall be called the sons of God. (Reconciliation)
Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
      for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Endures)

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. (Contentment)
He makes me lie down in green pastures, (Serenity)
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul. (Restoration)
He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. (Guidance)
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me; (Courage)
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. (Trust)
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. (Justice)
You have anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. (Gratitude)
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, (Persevering Love)
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Grace)


Matthew 22:37-39 "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'" (Balance)


Isaiah 40:31 "Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary." (Soaring Free in God's love)
