Inversions with Confidence & Ease with Naomi & Nathan

Sunday, February 22

2-4pm

Set the foundation for happier upside down experiences beginning in this workshop, by learning the tools to confidently establish an empowering inversions practice. This afternoon of upside-down adventures, intends to peel back the layers of doubt and fear that have prevented you from attempting inversions like handstand, forearm stand and headstand in the past.

As you unpack the baggage that weighs you down in your inversion attempts, you will feel physically and energetically lighter. If we can release the heavy burden of self-doubt through clear, effective preparatory poses as well as dissolve the heavier burden of fear through strength building poses, you have a greater chance to feel steadier when you go upside down. Discover fun where fear once lived and enjoy a new lightness of being that transforms your present and future experiences of going upside down!

What exactly are

Heart Openers?

We often store emotions deep within. Heart openers are asanas that expand the chest such as in camel pose or wheel pose. By creating space in the chest, we can tap into those hidden emotions and energies. When we do this, we may feel an emotional release that helps us both on and off the mat to feel more love toward ourselves and others.

URU has a wide range of yoga classes for all ages and comfort levels. Please notice our new kid’s classes as well.

Parents can practice yoga while children take their own class.

From early morning to evening, there is a class for You!

Susandhya, left her native home of Venezuela in 2003 to attend college in the U.S. Her yoga journey began in the summer of 2010 when she attended her first Yoga class with Divya Elting, this transformative experience initiated a whole new way of life. In May 2012, she completed her 200-hr Teacher Training at Abhaya Yoga Center with Nancy LaNasa and Beckie Sathre.

Her classes are described as a multi- dimensional flow that includes alignment, mantra, pranayama and space for Self-inquiry. All of her classes are accessible to beginners, but also challenging for intermediate students. Susandhya is also available for private instruction, yoga in Spanish and Reiki.

Setting Your Intention

January 2015

Greetings!

It is 2015! We are in a new time and on new soil where we can grow and harness our energy by the use of vision, intention and action. Intentions can only be fulfilled with actions. Actions must have a commitment behind them. Committing to our intentions and putting our actions in place are needed to make our visions come true.

What is your deepest desire or your truest vision? What will it take for you to live life as your authentic self? Is there a word, a thought or an idea that will help you find that perfect balance from which you can open your heart and expand your life? Or is it silence and stillness that will call you into your being? Is it movement, flowing or dance that will help you bloom into full growth?

In the winter, seeds are in the dark being nurtured by the soil. As the days get longer what seeds will you plant and how will you nourish and cultivate them successfully?

“Your beliefs become your thoughts,

Your thoughts become your words,

Your words become your actions,

Your actions become your habits,

Your habits become your values,

Your values become your destiny.”

Gandhi

Have you ever wondered about the URU logo and all those intersecting circles? It represents “The Flower of Life” where the Vesica Piscis forms its center. In sacred geometry this center represents us all, the One, the Beginning from which we all begin. It is our perfect balance. From this original energy, we grow and expand, never contract; we cannot go back, we only go forward. The Vesica Pisces is the the threshold where you have left what is behind and you have full faith in what you are stepping into. The Vesica Pisces where the circles merge creates a space of infinite possibilities

“Faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.”

Edward Teller

Imagine the Vesica Piscis, that One-ness, from which we all originate. That perfect equilibrium of all life’s energy at the center of life is the place where we can begin. It is the place where we decide how we will grow, where we set our intention.

If yoga is part of your journey this year, please know we are here to assist you in any way that you need.

With love and gratitude,

Rebecca Sathre, Chris Amador & the URU Crew

‘Path of the Seed’

Keep moving toward the sun;
focus high, above the blinding soil,
clear away all that keeps
a seed from seeing its Light.

Grace has placed its rays
on the path of which you grow;
follow this amber jewel
to the place beyond the clouds.

Rain may pound your leaves
and push them down
around your stem,
but these are the messengers
from the One. Receive them,
learn from them, let them
nourish your roots.

Just keep moving toward the sun,
until it pulls each petal back,
one by one, revealing
your ripened bud-
release your Self completely
into every, single, fleeting, moment
that your essence longs
to stretch itself freely
across the blue sky.

– jeffrey vionito

Amber began her yoga journey at Abhaya Yoga Center in 2008 where she was surprised to find peace for her body, peace for her mind and peace for her soul and wanted to share that peace with everyone around her. In 2011 that opportunity presented itself in the form of teacher training at Abhaya Yoga Center so Amber jumped in full body, mind and soul. She is forever greatful to Nancy LaNasa, Beckie Sathre, and Tammy Virchow Urbansky for sharing their love and knowledge of yoga with her. Gulf Breeze has always been her home where she continues to find peace in her yoga practice and lives with her awesome husband and two cats.

Reaching Your Pinnacle

December 2014

Greetings!

The end of the year is upon us. Did you set a resolution, a goal, or an intention at the start? Or did you allow the year to unfold on its own. No matter how the year began, there are endless possibilities to it’s conclusion.

Often in yoga, we move toward a pinnacle pose; the pose where all postures in vinyasa lead. We prepare our body and mind to reach this peak in class; it is the goal whether it is achieved or not.

As 2014 comes to a close, consider reaching your pinnacle. Prepare your movements, your words and actions, so that you may reach or get as close to your peak as you can. It is never too late to make your resolution, your goal or your intention a reality.

With love and gratitude,

Rebecca Sathre, Chris Amador & the URU Crew

Living Soulfully

November 2014

Greetings!

Life is gift. The life force within us all, prana, allows us to live in the world and also reflect within so that we may live to our full potential.

With a grateful heart, we can share that life force with those around us by being compassionate, honest, fair, and balanced. While we share with others, we can honor ourselves and be thankful for our breath and the daily work we do.

URU will offer gratitude classes Thanksgiving Day and cleansing classes the day after.

Take time this month to honor yourself and those around you.

Pranayama Workshop

with Susandhya Andrea

Breath is life, throughout the day we take more than 20,000 breaths often without giving it much consideration. Ancient Yogis discovered that through conscious connection with the breath they could not only improve their practice but their overall well-being. Their wisdom and experimentation gave birth to the Indian science of Pranayama, which includes a wealth of techniques dedicated to offer practitioners physical, physiological, psycho-emotional and spiritual benefits.

Join Susandhya for an in-depth exploration of the breath as a vehicle for transformation and take home the insight and tools to establish a regular Pranayama practice. All levels welcome!

In the last year we have healed, learned, taught, cried, laughed, danced, sang and so much more in this beautiful space. We have experienced many amazing yoga classes, workshops, musical events, friendships and so much more.. We have hung upside down. We have danced in glow in the dark. Children have played. We have connected with each other. We have formed a beautiful community.

“In order to find out how to reveal our innermost Being, the sages explored the various sheaths of existence, starting from body and progressing through mind and intelligence, and ultimately to the soul. The yogic journey guides us from our periphery, the body, to the center of our being, the soul. The aim is to integrate the various layers so that the inner divinity shines out as through clear glass.”
