Despite the practice’s unfavorable origins, a version of yoga ethnographer Celia Rothenberg calls “Jewish yoga” remains for its practitioners “a promising tool that can be used to increase spirituality, bodily strength, and flexibility,” without relying “on Hinduism’s religious belief system for meaning.”

Israelis can't just not culturally appropriate things huh?

those Hinduist beliefs have useless precepts like ahimsa. the ancient Indian principle of nonviolence that applies to actions toward all living beings. Ahimsa is inspired by the premise that all living beings have the spark of the divine spiritual energy; therefore, to hurt another being is to hurt oneself. Ahimsa is also related to the notion that all acts of violence have karmic consequences
