Description
Audi Gozlan, a certified yoga instructor and the founder of Kabalah Yoga, offers a book that fuses the practice of yoga with the ancient wisdom of Jewish mysticism, teaching you how to awaken the secret energy of each Hebrew letter in order to enliven your practice and experience the hidden powers of the universe.
There is an authentic need for spirituality in our lives-one that connects us with the sacred, something greater than ourselves, but that is also practical, touching the body and soul in deep and meaningful ways. While yoga offers us postures (or asanas), breathing, and meditation techniques, it may not always fulfill the deep desire for spiritual connection that has arisen. But when combined with the mystical tradition of Kabalah, it may be just the answer modern spiritual seekers are after.
Kabalah Yoga blends the movement and meditation of Hatha flow yoga with the ancient teachings of Kabalah, incorporating the wisdom of the Hebrew letters, also known as the Sacred Shapes, which are believed by Jewish mystics to be divine templates that contain the creative energy of the universe. This book describes the body, breath, and soul found within each of the Sacred Shapes, and shows that by moving your body into asanas based on each letter of the Hebrew alphabet and meditating on their meaning, you can unlock and embrace their great, empowering, and healing wisdom.
Kabalah Yoga brings a new form of awareness to the practice of yoga as a language of the soul, allowing you to journey deep within and discover yourself from the inside out, while tapping into the divine energy of each of the Sacred Shapes. With the explanations, insights, stories, meditations, and photographs in this book, you'll enhance your practice and improve your life.
Advance Praise
“My guru taught if you have spiritual knowledge,
you should share it. This is the highest form of charity. Audi Gozlan is
sharing the divine knowledge of yoga in the form of this beautiful book he
wrote. The knowledge shared in this book comes from Audi’s experience and from
the depth of his heart. Hopefully, it will find its way into the hearts of
those who read it, and help them on the path of yoga. May we all move from the
darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge.”
—Sri Dharma Mittra,
founder of Dharma Yoga and the Dharma Yoga Center NYC, and author of Master
Chart of 908 Postures, Asanas, Yoga Wisdom, Maha Sadhana,

“Audi Gozlan’s passionate exploration of Jewish
mysticism and yoga that began in his teens informs this exquisitely written
book. I found Kabalah Yoga profoundly moving, widening the path of
Jewish spirituality to embrace the movement and form of yoga postures. If you
like to move, as I do, and are inspired by Rumi or Theresa of Avila or Mirabai
or the Baal Shem Tov or A Course in Miracles, you will keep this book
close to your heart. Whatever name you use to call to the Divine, this book
will open every shuttered window of your body, mind, and spirit to let the love
of the eternal shine through. Gozlan’s Kabalah Yoga will become a
classic of mystical philosophy and practice in all traditions.”
—Amy Weintraub,
founder of LifeForce Yoga, and author of Yoga for Depression and Yoga Skills for Therapists
“Yoga is a dance of body and soul and it belongs
to everyone. Although the techniques are universal, we each need to adapt the
technology into a system that intimately supports our individual life and value
system. This brave book emerges from Audi’s many years of personal experience
into the depth and mysteries, and invites us into revealing the light that
shines in us all.”

Taking, and Whole Body Meditations; and coauthor of Meditation Secrets for Women and Meditation 24/7
“Audi Gozlan’s unique blend of soul, breath, and
body is deeply original and powerful.
His grace in movement, coupled with his belief
that self-improvement is within reach for all of us, is infectious, motivating,
and a call to action! Over
and above the yoga, Kabalah Yoga will leave you feeling elated.”
—Moses Znaimer,

“I believe that yoga is art. I believe that yoga
teachers are artists, and that the work that they synthesize and share with the
world is a composition; some naturally more unique than others. At our agency,
we are blessed to help share and support many yoga artists. I find the way Audi
has authentically woven together and presented the ancient wisdom traditions of
yoga and Kabalah to be exhilarating: a refreshing, completely new and
completely accessible synthesis. I feel that Audi has taken Kabalah Yoga down
from the heavens and placed it for us on our yoga mats. For that I give
thanks.”
—Ava Taylor, COO of YAMA Talent
“The world is now more than ever ready for an
integration of knowledge with the Sacred. In a world growing of adversarial
forces against oneness, it is now time for each of us to embrace the
opportunity to ‘upward salute’ the wisdom that the most gifted rabbis have
brought forward to us with ancient Hebrew as a whisper of hope. … Only oneness
exists and can be felt when we breathe, relax, and feel. Our potential is released
from the mustard seed of our soul’s desire to be united with life when we let
our bodies flow with the grace in movement aligned with the Hebrew letters. The
roots will set you free!
Blessings to my dear friend Audi for writing this
book, and who I hold most dear in my heart. You will learn how to feel, move,
and flow with the Divine to reawaken your connection to spirit and each other.
I pray for every human to read this beautiful book. I am honored and in glory
to see it make its way to each of you.
Namaste”
