Parsha and Yoga: Life Lessons from the Weekly Parsha and Yoga

Parsha and Yoga provides life lessons through the study of the weekly parsha and yoga. The concentration needed to do the yoga poses and the adaptability of each pose to the level of the student led me to a connection of yoga to the weekly Torah portion. Just as we understand the parshas at the level of learning we have reached, so we practice our yoga at the level of flexibility and strength of our body. Yoga is a routine for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Torah is the story of the Jewish people. All phases of human life and the foundation of ethics and morals are in the weekly parshas.
