Jewish Roots

My baby loves to wear a keepa (yarmulka) and my kids are Davening (praying) with little prayer books together
Single and Married were always two different states of being for me.  When I was single there were no rules, no holds barre, experience everything, go all out, and literally do anything and everything my heart desired. Good times, no regrets, but before I met my husband I was honestly ready to move on from that, I was over it and do not miss it, happy to be in my new adventure of marriage and children.

I was born in Russia, my parents left for us kids, they probably would have done OK there, but they knew we would suffer, especially with our Jewish identity.  I was so blessed that the community my husband is part of was the perfect place for me and my family in a multitude of ways.  My Yoga background is celebrated and utilized, after having kids my Prenatal Yoga and Doula Services are in demand.

For my kids it is the perfect place to learn about their ancestors, their history and traditions in a fun and spiritual way.  All of these laws and traditions have stood the test of time and keep Jewish people united and connected.  It is very important to me that my kids know from this early age how it has been done since the beginning of time, where it becomes second nature.

The Day of Rest, Shabbat, is such a magical way to teach children to disconnect from the world and spend quality time with their family, community, and God.  Kosher is a wonderful way to teach healthy eating and boundaries.  Some people I know have picky eaters and they ask me if it is challenging to have yet another "no" pertaining to food.  I personally love when my children feel good keeping the laws and truly understand the deeper meaning of them.  Learning is a staple in Jewish life, and every year as we grow understanding becomes full of layers.

What I love the most is that Jewish life blends perfectly with our modern fast paced world, respect is given to people of all levels and walks of life.

Perfect Place,
Perfect Time,
Thank God,
Coach Yulia
