Search - Rabbi Myriam Klotz :: Preparing the Heart: Yoga for Jewish Spiritual Practice

Rabbi Klotz is co-founder and co-director of The Yoga and Jewish Spirituality Teacher Certification Program at Elat Chayyim Jewish Spiritual Retreat Center. This is a fascinating new approach to yoga and Torah by combining the practice of classic yoga postures with traditional and mystical Jewish wisdom. Central Jewish concepts and values, images and practices are actualized and experienced through the practice of the yoga postures. The felt sense of God's vital force flowing in the physical body grounds an appreciation of the presence of God in the world, and in our lives. Yoga as embodied Jewish practice helps to heighten awareness of body, mind and spirit as it illuminates the heart of Jewish wisdom. Rabbi Klotz is a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist. She also writes and teaches about the body and Jewish healing.
