of the wisdom of Torah on

steady spiritual preparation
and cultivation, and yoga can
help us get ready to welcome
Torah in its many forms into our
bodies, our spirits, and our lives.
The program will be led by Jewish
Yoga instructor, Tracey Green.
Bring your yoga mat and towel or
blanket. All levels of yoga
practice are welcome!
Space is limited.
