Product Description
Jewish Yoga? Yes! "If you are curious about hatha yoga, Aleph-Bet Yoga provides a safe introduction to the basic yoga postures and techniques. If you are one of the tens of thousands of Jews who already practice hatha yoga, Aleph-Bet Yoga will connect your yoga to something explicitly Jewish. With its Jewish content and intent, Aleph-Bet Yoga will enhance rather than interfere with your religious identity." ---from the Introduction Combine the ancient practice of hatha yoga with the shapes and mystical meanings of the Hebrew letters to enhance your physical health and deepen your spiritual life. Can yoga be Jewish? Yes! By blending traditional hatha yoga postures and the forms of the Hebrew aleph-bet, yoga teacher Steven Rapp shows how you can use this ancient health practice to deepen your Jewish spirituality. Aleph-Bet Yoga shows us how to: --Integrate the meaning of each Hebrew letter with the common name of the corresponding hatha yoga pose. --Connect all twenty-seven Hebrew letters with hatha yoga poses that correspond to the shapes of the letters. --Weave together the meaning of each Hebrew letter with the Sanskrit word for the yoga pose and a biblical phrase in meditation. As we move our bodies through the Hebrew aleph-bet, turning toward the inner meaning of the letters, we can tap into the deep connections between our body, mind, and spirit. Drawing on the sacred texts and mystical writings of Judaism, combined with the insights of yoga teacher Steven Rapp, Aleph-Bet Yoga is an East-meets-West experience for our whole selves. Aleph-Bet Yoga makes it easy for anyone to incorporate yoga into their life, and combine the physical and spiritual aspects of Judaism. It features step-by-step instructions, photographs clearly demonstrating each yoga pose, and insightful words to inspire and guide us in connecting the spiritual meaning of the Hebrew letters to our yoga practice.

I have mild MS and can't move very strenuously. I wanted to try yoga but had some reservations about getting into eastern spiritual practices. My husband who is not at all into exercise found this to be a great way to start. The pictures of the poses make it easy and by describing a workout in specifics. It's easy to put together a routine even without a teacher. I would however prefer a video of the poses because it is hard to try to read instructions from a book as you're trying to do the poses.
This book however, is overall what I was looking for. Just an instruction manual not necessarily one that got into all the philosophy as does "Torah Yoga." That is a good companion for "Aleph-Bet Yoga" but Aleph-Bet is for those who are looking for a workout first and foremost. | | |  | Don't worry, yoga's not treyf Apr 7, 2007 |
Presumably aimed at an audience of observant Jews afraid that hatha yoga is the pork of exercise, which will steal their souls from Yahweh and deliver them to Shiva and Shakti, this Romper Room approach tries to coax reluctant couch latkes onto the mat by showing just how much the yoga poses resemble Hebrew letters. (Look Ma! I made an Aleph!)
One can practice hatha yoga without adopting the beliefs of Vedanta or Hinduism, just as a Hindu can eat a piece of gefilte fish without feeling an overwhelming urge to put on tefillin.
Anyone who wants to try to learn hatha yoga from a book instead of a class would be well advised to buy one of the texts written by a specialist. Any of the Iyengar books, for example, or Donna Farhi's excellent work, or Erich Schiffman's. There are also superb DVDs that will help one learn in the privacy of one's shtetl.

| The postures and letters didn't match the cross over, in my opinion. I perfer the meaning of the letter combined with the pose, a blending of the physical action to the spiritual meaning. I find if I set my Kavanah prior to the yoga I get this blend throughout. So I found this book a bit lacking, not a bad book but I enjoyed the Torah Yoga better. The meditations within are much more helpful to me personally. | | | Write your own review about Aleph-Bet Yoga: Embodying the Hebrew Letters for Physical and Spiritual Well-Being
