Mobility, Flexibility & Strength coaching for the Torah Community

If you're a working man who feels stressed & has stiff achy muscles but want a relaxed, fluid life, I teach breath-based Yoga which opens your body and mind for a calmer, relaxed you.

If you're an athletic man who'd like to be guided though hour long yoga flows to stretch and loosen up, I lead intermediate and beginner level vinyasa and gravity yoga

If you're a senior aged person who'd like to age gracefully in a healthy flexible body or you're an office-based worker who feels stressed and can take a break in your day to refresh your body and mind, I lead gentle chair yoga sessions

As a certified Yoga & meditation instructor, stretching & breath coach, I lead private & group sessions live in person and remotely over Zoom. My style is breath-based flexibility, strength & mobility body work, free from foreign cultural elements.

First group session is free for you to try it out. See first-hand how Yoga for men or chair Yoga can benefit you. Register for the next group session on Schedule page. Enter the discount code FIRSTCLASS

Shalom!

I'm Yakov Werde, the FlexiRabbi


I'm an experienced, Yoga teacher (at RYT200 level) and certified Stretching and Meditation coach. Since 2021 I've been guiding others to greater well-being though movement and breath. I'm a Rabbi and have a Masters degree in Education. Prior to teaching yoga, my day job was application software developer, IT developer educator and courseware author.

For me, a Torah observant Jew, a life-style informed by yoga, breath-work and meditation is essential for maintaining a healthy body, calm mind and staying in emotional balance.

My mission as a Yoga teacher is to guide you in maintaining a flexible, mobile, relaxed and strong body, mind and spirit.
