A Taste of Torah Yoga

A Taste of Torah Yoga Sfat Emet, the 19th chassidic Rebbe, taught that the words of Torah are engraved in the body of a person, but they are hidden and need to be discovered.   In  a  1 1/4 hour long Torah Yoga class we begin with the study of a Torah text for about ten minutes.  We then weave the Torah inspiration  into a full yoga practice for fifty minutes. The last fifteen minutes we gather, (on gallery mode) as a group for reflections and questions. Through Torah Yoga we can discover the Torah that is hidden in our body, mind, heart and soul. No previous experience in Torah study or yoga practice necessary to participate. Diane Bloomfield is the creator of Torah Yoga and author of the book Torah Yoga: Experiencing Jewish Wisdom through Classic Postures. She is currently working on her new book, Playing with Fire: Secret Torah Doorways to the Inner Self. She lives in Jerusalem where she teaches Torah and Torah Yoga classes live and on the web. Over the past thirty years Diane has taught in many settings all over the world. She has been a guest teacher for Israel trips run by a wide range of organizations.
