Neshama Body & Soul

Neshama Body and Soul (NBS) is a full-body workout and an opportunity for spiritual “awakeness.” NBS combines body-weight strength exercise (ie: push-ups, squats, planks, etc.), Jewish prayer and wisdom, and self-reflection to help you connect with you. Please note that participants will get up and down from the floor throughout the session – there will be modifications offered for the movements. Please wear comfortable clothing and sneakers, and bring water and a mat or towel.
