This workshop is open to anyone wanting to explore the parallels and practices of yoga (to unite) and tshuvah (to return). All are welcome but space is limited.

He will also give lectures. Swamiji will be assisted by Ma Sita Savitri, who will teach Yoga Asana and Pranayama and will lead chanting for the seminar. Please note that participation in all weekend sessions is required due to the sequential nature of the teaching.

He founded the Scandinavian Yoga and Meditation School in 1970 and is a highly respected teacher not only in Scandinavia, but also in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and South America. He is the author of the book Yoga, Tantra and Meditation in Daily Life and the deep relaxation CD "Experience Yoga Nidra," which he created together with master sitarist Roop Verma.

Join Evelyn Neaman and Steve Herman for our tenth annual evening yoga workshop to help prepare for the new year. Self-reflection and spiritual stocktaking are obligations of every Jewish person particularly at the New Year. The workshop will explore sacred Jewish and yoga practices for spiritual stocktaking that lead to atonement ("at-one-ment"). All are welcome but space is limited. Pre-registration is required and payment is a donation to Or Shalom.

Immerse yourself in a day of Jewish mystical practices with well known Kabbalist and author, Rabbi Dov Ber Pinson. The morning session will focus on Jewish practices in silence. You will have the opportunity to explore and experience ancient Jewish silent meditation techniques, and practice hatha yoga from the Jewish perspective. The lunch hour will be held in a garden setting and includes a kosher vegetarian lunch and music. In the afternoon session we will learn about inner rhythms and the kabalah of music, and discover the mystical path of the Jewish soul from birth to death and beyond. This day long retreat will provide nourishment for your body, mind and spirit.Everyone is welcome.
