Jewish Yoga - Move Your Body and Soul

Men and women of all ages arrive with their yoga mats, many of whom have just dropped off their children at Religious School. As people lay out their mats they catch up with one another and begin to stretch, preparing themselves for the service.

They make their way through the morning liturgy, after each prayer Beth (yoga instructor) explains, and demonstrates, the next yoga asana that we will be assuming. The slide changes to include the prayer that is about to be recited and once everyone is in the correct position or moving in the designated wayRabbi Danny leads the group as they chant, sing or read the words of the liturgy.

For the hour they create an oasis of calm and quiet for the participants in the service. As people roll up their mats and prepare to leave that space there is a spiritual energy that permeates the room. We hope that the community takes that feeling with them throughout the day.
