Product Description A Sydney Taylor Honor Book Take a deep breath in. . . I am the giant fish that swallowed Jonah . . . and exhale slowly. I am Miriam, the dancer. Feel the stories of the Bible come to life within you. I am the Tree of Life. The Torah is called the Tree of Life. Just as a tree is always growing and changing, the Torah's ideas can help us grow and change, too. Yoga can do the same. Both can help us strengthen ourselves, calm our minds, and learn to appreciate the world around us. Written by rabbi and certified yoga instructor Mychal Copeland, I Am the Tree of Life encourages us to explore both the world of yoga and the stories of the Bible and find meaning in both. About the Author Rabbi Mychal Copeland is the spiritual leader of Congregation Sha'ar Zahav in San Francisco. She is both a rabbi and a certified yoga instructor who fuses Jewish spirituality with movement through yoga. Mychal is passionate about leading people toward a profound spiritual life that embraces everything that they are. I Am the Tree of Life is her first children's book.
