Torah Yoga
60 Minutes
Inspired by the book Torah Yoga, we learn “There are many ways to sing the song of life. Torah is a way. Torah is called the tree of life. Her wise branches rustle and whisper secrets full of life to all who listen. Yoga is also a way. With yoga, you can hear your own breath and body whispering to you. With these ancient and ever renewing whispers of life, Torah and Yoga, you can rise up with a joyful and renewed body-mind-heart-soul.”
