Bree-AH/The Body is a series inviting participants into adventures that deepen relationship with our bodies. Renowned yoga teacher, Cantor Lizzie Shammash will lead an all-level yoga and movement classes informed by the wisdom of Jewish spiritual teachings. Mindful body practices help us find shelter right where we are, in our bodies, in this very moment. Join Lizzie as she expertly guides us in a session designed to relieve stress and stimulate rejuvenation and healing as we increase awareness of breath and grounding through our bodies.

In this session with Lizzie, we will explore the yoga of “less is more”, of cultivating “being” over “doing” with options for beginners and for advanced practitioners. Lizzie says, “The real work we are doing here is not the postures, it's in the possibility of finding a little more freedom, in body, in heart and in mind.” The session itself will begin with an introduction through Torah and movement, and will end with a Q&A with Lizzie. For this online session, you will need space to lie down, a mat if you have one and a blanket. Please also have a chair nearby in case it is helpful, as aspects of this practice can be done from and with a chair as support.

Open to all mobility levels and no previous experience with yoga required.
