Yoga for Your Seder Table - Camel Pose

Haggadah Section: Commentary / Readings

Why not try this one at your Pesach table? You can even do a seated version by placing your hands on the side of your chair and arching your back backwards, just like a camel. It’s easy when you know how. The yogis called this posture ‘Ustrasana’ and it’s all about opening up your heart space and feeling free. We often read how Pharaoh had a ‘hard heart’ (look in the Book of Exodus/Shmot and see if you can find where it is written). On Pesach we are trying to keep our hearts soft and open to other people – that’s why we begin the seder by saying ‘all who are hungry, let them come and eat’. So….try Camel Pose and open up your heart!!
