Waiting for a bus, squeezing in ten minutes to get our hearts pumping, not having time to exercise... New Yorkers get the most steps of any FitBit users, but many of us use the cold weather as an excuse to skip outdoor recreation. Judaism has resources to strengthen body and spirit. Join coach Bonnie Schwartz and Jewish educator Sarah Chandler for a session in embodied study and practice. Learn easy moves for building strength, tips for meditating on the go, and Jewish teachings to inspire. Bring your coat and hat -- we will be outdoors for the majority of the session! No other special attire or equipment needed.
