Yoga of the Sefirot

Friday mornings at American Jewish University

Experience ancient Jewish wisdom about the holiness of the human body.
The Medieval Jewish Mystics taught that the world was created using 10 attributes of G-d,
each of which is associated with a different limb or organ.
Through movement and intention, we can connect with these attributes
and help repair ourselves and the world.
Strengthen, relax, meditate on and learn from a different sefirah and body part each week.

 -- Melanie Alkov, event coordinator, Temple Beth David, Westminster, Calif.

 

Thank you, Avivah, for the thoughtful and educational Jewish Yoga class you brought to the UC San Diego Hillel on May 31, 2007, as part of our "Vitamin J" Judaism and health programming series. The class was the perfect mix of meaningful Jewish learning and envigorating yoga. It is truly a unique approach to Judaism!
-- Adam Gerber, JCSC Fellow, Hillel of San Diego at UCSD

"I took Avivah’s class for the month of November and loved the stretching and de-stressing of it, and the Jewish meditation on the parsha of the week!  Avivah is a very knowledgeable and compassionate teacher. She made adjustments for all the ailments and weaknesses I was having. She is more into the spiritual aspect than pushing the physical. I loved it, and I can't wait to resume her class."
-- Shoshi Wilchfort, Sisterhood officer, Temple Beth Am, Los Angeles, Calif.
