Yael Flusberg’s meditation journey began as a small child attending yeshiva, mesmerized with the rich storytelling and re-imagining that goes into every single sentence in the Bible. She gravitated toward practices like kavanah, which translates as “intention” and is about both the mindset one should be in when engaged in learning and rituals (“with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might”) as well as training yourself to see past the literal into the underlying layers of reality. Yael is a sought-after yoga therapist, writer and coach who helps people find resiliency and relief in the midst of transition and loss, and in the aftermath of trauma.
