Wisdom from Rachel Dewan, Certified Anusara Teacher, E-RYT500
Videography by Deana Morenoff and Michael Arginsky
Shavuot at Isabella Freedman is a powerful experience. We literally stand at the foot of the mountain together, klal yisrael, and receive Torah anew. We march together in the Parade of First Fruits, grown in the very ground we walk upon. We sing and dance and swim and boat and walk through the glorious nature that surrounds us…and we do this all with our bodies, which is why embodied practice is such an important part of this retreat.The practice of Torah Yoga at the Shavuot retreat prepares our bodies, our minds, our hearts to receive all of these experiences more fully by connecting the physical with the spiritual. Join me and we will walk this path together. Whether you have been practicing for 30 years or 30 days or never set foot on a mat, Torah Yoga will bring a deeper level of awareness and richness to your Shavuot experience.
