“The vital desire of the soul (nefesh / נפש) is to be free in her movement, in her physical and spiritual movement, with a desire for elevation and renewal.” - Rav Avraham Isaac Kook, Orot HaKodesh
Integrate mind, body, heart and spirit via a gentle Iyengar-based yoga and movement practice rooted in Jewish mystical teachings as we prepare for the Shabbat of Return /שבת שובה.
The High Holy Days are a time of new beginnings and renewed commitment to living in physical and spiritual alignment with our deepest intentions. Join us for an embodied practice infused with beautiful teachings from the Jewish mystics during this significant time on the Hebrew Calendar.
No previous experience with yoga or knowledge about Jewish Holidays is required. Please wear comfortable loosely layered clothing in which you can easily move.
