Torah Yoga strives to integrate universal themes and Jewish wisdom through the practice of yoga. Through Iyengar-inspired asana (yoga postures with a gentle flow) and guided mindfulness meditation, Stacie Nardizzi facilitates Torah Yoga on Saturday mornings. Through our community practice of yoga, we seek to align physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually with the Divine. Aligning body, breath, mind, heart, and soul as we embrace our practice together at CSH.
Each week our practice will focus on a universal or Jewish theme which Stacie introduces in the opening meditation. We explore the theme through the physical practice, culminating in a closing svasana (relaxation). The class is open to ALL levels. Modifications are given, as needed. Chairs are available for those who would like to participate by sitting, focusing on centering or inner focused breathing; or those who wish for a chair yoga practice with modifications, as needed.
Class components include: centering and alignment, balance work, flexibility, core strength building, grounding integration, overall positive energy, and relaxation. Most importantly, practicing Torah Yoga on Shabbat is a gift of self-compassion and honoring your true self.
