Shabbat Yoga @ The Intown Retreat

Join our first Shabbat Yoga with Stephanie Bernstein at the Intown Retreat.

Slow down. Breathe deeply. Welcome the stillness of Shabbat into your body and soul.

Movements are accessible for all bodies, with options for gentle stretches or deeper engagement.

  • Experience Shabbat as a time for physical and spiritual restoration

  • Deepen connection to Jewish prayer and Torah through embodied practice

  • Reduce stress, release tension, and foster inner calm

  • No prior yoga or Hebrew experience is necessary. All are welcome.
