Growing up in war-torn Beirut taught me about fear
Rima Rabbath grew up in Lebanon during the civil war, learning to live in the moment to escape the shelling. Now based in New York, she has become one of the leading teachers of Jivamukti yoga in Manhattan. Here she describes a profound experience in Beirut in the 1980s, when Israeli soldiers were on her street, and explains how that informs the way she teaches today.
