More about NBS
Our Mission
At NBS, we believe in an integrated approach to physical and spiritual health. NBS draws from the wisdom of the Jewish tradition as we pray with our entire bodies.
Rabbi Jaymee Alpert
After 20 years as a pulpit rabbi, she is now dedicating her time to NBS. NBS offers a unique approach to prayer and spirituality - as we move our bodies, we become open to possibility and aware of what keeps us grounded.
Rabbi Alpert offers NBS sessions, scholar-in-residence weekends, and multiple day intensives around the country, as well as training for future NBS leaders.
In addition to NBS, she has a coaching practice that combines life and professional coaching with fitness training. For more information, visit jaymeealpertcoaching.com

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.
