This highly original book introduces a fascinating new approach to
yoga and Torah by combining the practice of classic yoga postures
with traditional and mystical Jewish wisdom. Each chapter begins by
presenting a central Jewish spiritual concept that engages readers
of all faiths on a personal level. It offers an in-depth
exploration of the concept, quoting and commenting on sacred Jewish
texts from the Pentateuch (Five Books of Moses) and other sources.
It then guides its readers with mastery and clarity through a
meditation and a set of fundamental yoga postures--clearly
illustrated by beautiful photographs--for both beginning and
advanced yoga students. The Torah concept is actualized and
experienced through the practice of these postures. Torah
Yoga helps to heighten awareness of body, mind, and spirit?it
illuminates the heart of Jewish wisdom.
