Greetings!
We are blessed to have spent almost a year with you. September 16th is our 1 year anniversary. Thank you for spending time with us. We value your presence.
Please join us for some very special events this fall.
All of these yoga practices lead to the real yoga.
The real yoga is in how we treat ourselves and other beings.
The real yoga is how we speak to each other.
The real yoga is what we say to ourselves inside our head.
The real yoga is how we speak about others.
The real yoga is forgiveness.
The real yoga is being real.
The real yoga is kindness.
The real yoga is speaking the truth.
The real yoga is taking action for what is right.
The real yoga is how we live.
The real yoga is how we care for animals.
The real yoga is how we take care of the planet.
The real yoga is each and every moment of this lifetime.
The real yoga is what we think, say, do in every moment..
We love you, The URU Crew

There’s no place like home: Cultivating a home practice with Nickie Medici
|
|
Sunday, September 14th, 1:00-3:00pm
You’ve started a yoga practice and you love it. You go to the studio a few times a week, but sometimes your yoga mat whispers to you while you’re at home. You hear, “Unroll me, just one down dog will unravel that tight back! How about a few sun salutations to start your day, wouldn’t that be lovely?”
You become giddy! You unroll the mat – yes, I’m going to practice yoga at home! You’ve turned a corner, the practice is in your bones, blood and now – your living room.
There you are, just you and your mat. Perhaps you’ve made yourself a special playlist. You stand at the front of your mat, hands in prayer at your heart. Inhaling deeply, gazing towards the heavens you – forget what to do next.
This workshop will guide both the new and experienced yoga student in taking their yoga practice home. Learn the art of yogic short hand so you can take notes after your yoga classes at the studio and take sequences home with you. Tune into what your body is trying to tell you, so while practicing at home you learn to “feel” what pose would serve you best.
Not to be left out, the workshop will include introducing a foundation for a home meditation practice. A home yoga practice allows the yogi to deeply embody the teachings and techniques they discover in a studio environment. At home, uncover questions to take with you into the studio and in the studio, discover endless and supportive practices to take home. It’s a beautiful cycle.

Mantra Beat Music Concert (Kirtan) with Rahasya
|
|
Saturday, September 20th, 7:00-9:00pm
Rahasya is the vision of lifelong musicians Surdas and Vajra Yogini. Built upon the foundation of live drum kit, harmonium, and soaring vocals, the music is woven with elements of electronic sounds, sampled instruments, and sonic textures. Rahasya plays festivals such as Bhakti Fest, Bonnaroo, Chantlanta, and Mahabhuta Yoga Festival, and many more. Their tour schedule has them traveling around the US and beyond multiple times per year, leading sacred music concerts, kirtans, live music yoga classes, chanting workshops, and yoga teacher trainings. They also lead international yoga retreats in Peru.
Rahasya music is rooted in ancient Indian kirtan and mantra, while pushing the future of chant music with live sequenced thumping bass lines, elements of electronica, hip-hop, afro-beat, gospel, and down tempo grooves. Mantras are interspersed with conscious raps and layered vocals that resonate with uplifting inspiration. Music, in its highest expression, has always served to unify communities and catalyze spiritual awakening. Rahasya is truly grateful to be a part of this living tradition.
$20 per person

Take the Load Off Your Shoulders with Rahasya Yogic Arts
|
|
Sunday, September 21st, 10:00am-12:30pm
Take The Load Off Your Shoulders
Most people have some strain or compression in the shoulder, especially on their dominant side. This is due either to trauma, or repetitive strain, and the strain is often linked to holding in the neck. This class details ways to release the upper arm and shoulder, while freeing up the connective tissues in and around the neck. We practice techniques to stabilize the bicep/tricep balance, unglue the rotator cuff muscles and free the shoulder joint. We will practice a variety of poses that prepare the shoulder joint
for weight bearing.
(THIS WORKSHOP WILL GREATLY BENEFIT STUDENTS WITH A FLOW/VINYASA PRACTICE)
*** There will be a live music element during the workshop as well..
$30 Advance

Prema Hara Kirtan Concert
|
|
Sunday, October 19th, 6:30-8:30
Pure Beauty and Bliss will be joining us at URU..
“Dive into Ocean of Grace and ride a tidal wave of devotion to the mystical land where Radha and Krishna cavorted. Prema Hara’s Kamaniya and Keshavacharya transport you there with their sublimely balanced vocals – his strong and deep, hers fluid and lilting. From the rousingly ecstatic Radha – Queen of Vrindavan to the urban-edged Bhakti Shakti Dub to the epic, profoundly moving title track featuring Jai Uttal and an all-star cast, Ocean of Grace will stir and serenade your soul into a state of divine bliss as deep and wide as the Pacific. Sure to be remembered as a breakthrough album for this duo.” ~ TheBhaktiBeat.com
