Our Beginning
More than a decade ago, Rabbi Jaymee Alpert and Fernando Martinez began talking about the need to integrate exercise and prayer, in order to achieve a more balanced life. After reading about a therapist who found that their clients opened up more fully while walking or jogging, they started exploring what movement could do for one's spiritual life. After many hours of conversation and lots of trial and error, NBS: Neshama Body and Soul was born. Today it is a practice that blends body weight strength exercise with Jewish prayer and teachings and meditation.
