Yoga Shalom
Reb Cantor Lisa Levine has been teaching, studying and sharing Jewish Yoga through her book Yoga Shalom, in zoom rooms and in classes around the world. She is a 500 hour registered Yoga Alliance teacher and certified in chair yoga as well as pranayama breath practice.
Her Book/CD/DVD Yoga Shalom published in 2011 launched a Jewish Yoga embodiment phenomenon which has spread and taken off. Yoga Shalom is igniting the passion for Jewish Yoga and inspiring the next generation of teachers and practitioners.
Based on her deep knowledge of Jewish liturgy, Jewish mysticism and traditional Hatha yoga, Lisa has explored the connections and intersections between Yoga and Judaism, deepening the understanding of both.
Connecting Jewish themes like Mussar with the Yoga ethics of the Yamas and Niyamas, embodiment of Jewish prayer to Asana yoga poses, Sephirot energy centers of Kabbalah to the Yoga Chakras and Mudra healing hand gestures with Jewish hand gestures, each of her practices explores different and unique ways to see Yoga through a Jewish lens.
One of the unique signatures of Lisa’s Jewish Yoga practices is her original sacred music and chant which backtracks all of her classes, deepening the connection between spirituality, yoga themes and Jewish prayer. Themes of light, healing, freedom, Jewish holidays, peace and joy are also integrated into her yoga practices.
Some of her offerings are for chair yoga and some are Vinyasa flows. Her practices always include a healing circle and opportunities to send peace and healing to the planet. You can find all of her online practices Yoga Shalom at Home by clicking the link below.

Yoga Shalom and Reb Cantor Lisa Levine turned my life around after my son took his life. I had no prior yoga experience, the sessions were physically challenging (in the beginning) and spiritually enlightening.
Yoga Shalom with Reb Cantor Lisa Levine got me through the stay at home time of the pandemic and I was hooked! I had tried numerous yoga classes over the years, but Yoga Shalom was the only one which worked for me. It nourishes my body and spirit combining gentle movements and stretches with peaceful, relaxing guided meditation. I look forward to classes with Lisa’s soothing voice, beautiful music and Jewish references which speak to my soul.
Yoga Shalom increases my flexibility and balance, brings a deeper understanding of Jewish practices and mysticism in my life, and infuses my day with a sense of relaxation and focus.

Yoga Shalom Leaders Guide
Yoga Shalom is Book/DVD/CD which presents a unique worship experience that brings together body, mind, and spirit for an extraordinary prayer service. Combining the two powerful spiritual disciplines of Jewish worship and yoga practice, Yoga Shalom leads to deeper understandings of both. Author Lisa Levine writes of her initial forays into yoga as a cantorial student, “I learned to be more present in my prayers and meditations so I could better pray with and on behalf of my congregation.” Yoga Shalom can be adapted and the postures customized for your congregation, studio, or private practice. Yoga Shalom can also be done in the community of a class or in the privacy of your own home.
As an alternative to the traditional prayer service, Yoga Shalom can engage and unite your professional staff, lay leadership, and community. Whether you have no yoga experience or have been practicing for years, and regardless of your age or abilities, Yoga Shalom will help you relax your body, calm your mind, and nurture your spirit. Yoga Shalom brings Jewish worship into sharp focus by clearly explaining each of the prayers, their connections to yoga and context of the service as well as kavannot, interpretive writings which add depth and creativity to each chapter.
