Using the
tools of yoga practice and the teaching of Judaism, Shalom Yoga programs
help to peel away the layers that separate us from our inner world of
tranquility and contentment. Moving the body encourages us to experience
ourselves and the world in a new and fulfilling way as we release physical
tension and develop strength and balance. Incorporating the concept
of shalom into class content students are encouraged to be at peace
with themselves, to honor and nurture their bodies and spirit by moving
gently and mindfully.
Classes are
appropriate for beginners and continuing yoga students. No yoga experience
necessary!
