Series Sign-up: $36
Please bring your own mat!
A morning series to awaken the body, mind and spirit through the
traditions of Jewish prayer and Hatha Yoga. Each session will integrate
yoga asana practice, self-directed meditation, and a brief teaching on
one element of the shacharit (morning) prayer service.
We need at least a minyan to offer the Shacharit Yoga Series. Please
register ASAP by sending an email to info@jmcbrooklyn.org.
Session I: Modeh Ani — cultivating heart openness and
gratitude through the physical practice and the text of Modeh Ani ("I am
grateful"), the traditional prayer said upon waking
Session II: Matir Asurim — The blessing matir asurim
("who frees the captives") blessing, one of the 15 'blessings of the
dawn,' thanks God for releasing those in captivity. Using this prayer as
our textual grounding, we will use twists and gentle binds to find
freedom in joints and muscles
Session III: Shema —The Shema ("listen") prayer focuses
us on our sense of hearing, and the power of listening. We'll listen to
our bodies, breath and environment to guide our physical and
mindfulness practice.
About the instructor:
Shuli Passow has been practicing yoga since the age of
7--the same year she received her first siddur (prayer book). Since
then, she has continually sought ways to bring her yoga practice into
relationship with her Jewish spiritual practices. Shuli completed her
yoga teacher training at the Asheville Yoga Center, in Asheville, North
Carolina, and has been teaching yoga to the students of Yeshivat Hadar,
in Manhattan. Off the mat, Shuli is the Director of Community
Initiatives at the Jewish Funds for Justice, supporting Jews and Jewish
institutions around the country to work for social change.
