Jewish Yoga
Bridging two ancient spiritual traditions.
Jewish Yoga?
It's fascinating to discover that the Jewish lunar cycle shares energetic themes with Ayurveda and various components of yogic philosophy. In Jewish Yoga classes, we incorporate the energetic maps from Kabbalah, traditional Hasidic thought, and Jewish texts to create yoga flows that connect the energies of the Jewish lunar cycle with the human body.
This approach comes from intensive study of Jewish meditation under Rabbi Dr. James Jacobson-Maisels, the founder of “Or HaLev Jewish Spirituality & Meditation” in collaboration with the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. Classes playfully interweave Jewish spirituality with advanced studies in Advaita Vedanta philosophy, breath work, physical practice, Yin, Hatha, Nidra and Vinyassa.
