Y-H-V-H Shekhina Yoga
Based on the Sun Salutation

The imprint of the Divine is in our bodies.

Yud=head, Hey=upper shoulder girdle, Vav=spine, Hey=lower pelvic girdle, Shin=arms stretched out and up

Yud
Stand in Mountain Pose, at Sinai, arms by your side, feet rooted in the earth, head lifting to the sky. Breath out, emptying all thoughts.

Hey
Breathe in. Lift arms to side, palms facing down, turning up at shoulder level, and extending straight above head. You are forming a channel for the divine energy from above.

Vav
Breathe out. Bend from hip sockets, arms outstretched, until the hands touch, or extend toward the ground. The Vav is straight but supple, connecting heaven and earth.

Hey
Breathe in from the earth through your legs. Extend arms forward, lift from the pelvis, reach upward again, straightening pose, uniting all worlds.

She-
Breathe out. Arms still extended above head, palms facing each other,

khi-
arms move out from the sides of the ears to form a "shin" with the head and two arms. This is the Tree of Life.

na
Breathe in. Palms turn down and hands make a circle that meet on the heart. Experience She-Who-Dwells-Within.
