YOGA + JEWISH WISDOM
May 23, 2026 2-4pm Hosted at JP Centre Yoga
Interested in how Yoga + Jewish Wisdom intersect? Hint: the breath is the gateway 🌬
This workshop is a dialogue between ancient traditions. Move with ruach (similar to "prana" in Sanskrit), the life-force inherent in the breath, in a holistic practice-and-study experience where breath, body, and story converge. In the ancient narrative of the exodus from Egypt, it's said that a “mighty hand and outstretched arm” brought a mixed multitude out of collective bondage, and a mighty wind parted the Red Sea, liberating a sense of expansive possibility. Where the mighty hand of the story belongs to the Divine, here we will embody the image ourselves, using our own mighty hands and outstretched arms to free constricted breath and awaken vitality. An all-levels Yoga practice will allow Jewish teachings to be directly embodied, through a blend of mindful movement, redemptive imagery, and guided reflection, with space for discussion and connection — expanding fully into your life force. This workshop is free. RUACH will be accepting donations (with no expectation!), 20% of which will go to one of 3 organizations focused on homelessness, immigration & trans rights. Everyone who comes gets a vote where the funds go. 🗳💥
This in-person workshop brings together two wisdom traditions: the Sefirot of Jewish mysticism and the Chakra system of Yoga. This experience is especially for people who are curious about embodied spirituality, interested in cross-cultural wisdom traditions, or seeking a grounded, experiential way to explore meaning, energy, and connection.
Through guided Yoga practice, text learning, and reflection, we’ll explore how these inner maps offer parallel ways of understanding human physiology and spiritual life channeled directly in the body.
Rather than approaching these systems only as abstract concepts, this workshop invites direct experience. We’ll notice where energy flows easily, where it feels held or constrained, and how awareness-based somatic practice can open space for connection, grounding, clarity, and hope.
No prior experience with Yoga, meditation, or Kabbalah is required. The space is designed for curiosity, presence, and embodied exploration.
We look forward to practicing together.
As part of RUACH’s ongoing program development, this workshop is free. RUACH will be accepting donations (with no expectation), 25% of which will go to one of 3 aligned nonprofit causes advancing social justice. Everyone who comes gets a vote where the funds go. 🗳💥 Your presence, practice, and feedback make this work so powerful and rewarding.
Facilitators: Andrea Fotopoulos and Yaakov Ginsberg-Schreck
