Yoga Shalom (Book, DVD, and CD)

Purchase!

Yoga Shalom is Book/DVD/CD which presents a unique worship experience that brings together body, mind, and spirit for an extraordinary prayer service. Combining the two powerful spiritual disciplines of Jewish worship and yoga practice, Yoga Shalom leads to deeper understandings of both, or as author Lisa Levine writes of her initial forays into yoga as a cantorial student, “I learned to be more present in my prayers and meditations so I could better pray with and on behalf of my congregation.”

Yoga Shalom can be adapted and the postures customized for your congregation, studio, or private practice, and can be done in the community of a class or in the privacy of your own home. As an alternative to the traditional prayer service, Yoga Shalom can engage and unite your professional staff, lay leadership, and community. Whether you have no yoga experience or have been practicing for years, and regardless of your age or abilities, Yoga Shalom will help you relax your body, calm your mind, and nurture your spirit.

Yoga Shalom brings Jewish worship into sharp focus by clearly explaining each of the prayers, their connections to yoga and context of the service as well as kavannot, interpretive writings which add depth and creativity to each chapter.

Features:
• Detailed, easy-to-follow instructions
• Dozens of photographs
• Advanced, gentle, and chair modifications for each posture sequence
• 17-track CD to accompany your practice, featuring the music of well-known Jewish artists Craig Taubman, Jeff Klepper, Lisa Levine, and many more
• Full-length DVD of the complete practice

Worship Service for Body and Soul

Yoga Shalom is a worship service for body and soul that combines the ancient practice of yoga with the ancient prayers of Judaism. In Yoga Shalom, traditional yoga poses are matched to the traditional Sabbath and morning blessings and incantations. The program, dubbed an embodiment of prayer, was developed several years ago by Lisa Levine, an American cantor, and debuted at the Crescentwood synagogue last winter.

Yoga Program Gives Spiritual Connection to Judaism

Yoga instructor and cantor Lisa Levine of Temple Shalom in Chevy Chase, Maryland, led the group through Yoga Shalom, which she said is a "journey of healing and a journey of revival," and told them they will be "looking at prayer and worship a different way." They will unlock feelings, memories and emotions, she said. "We're going to feel the prayer inside."
