Bhakti Yoga is the path of loving devotion. Kirtan is the practice of call & response Sanskrit mantra chanting. Brenan or Makaylah will sing the chant & you are encouraged to repeat it in response! Singing is not required, but it is highly encouraged. You are always welcome to just come sit and see what it’s about before you participate. Brenan plays the hand-drum, and Makaylah plays the harmonium to support the mantras. Mantras are sacred sounds used to focus the mind on the Divine. Names of deities will be used, but this doesn’t mean that you are invoking anything outside of yourself. You are the Divine, and you are chanting to that place within YOU. We will not dive too deep into the meanings of these mantras in this class, instead- we will focus on dropping into the chanting and opening our hearts to our own unique experience. Brenan & Makaylah offer more in-depth workshops and classes to dive deeper into mythology and meaning if you are interested in learning more! There will be no Asana (physical practice) in this class. We will be seated with cushions and other supports. Dancing, standing, or lying down is also available! Just whatever you need to remain comfortable through class. We will burn incense, palo santo, or sage… if there is a student with scent sensitivity, we will forgo the burning of any scents. We will keep the lighting relatively low… but there will be plenty of light to see! ***Also, if you are unable to pay the entire $15 drop-in, we will accept donations for this class. Pay anything you are able! We just want you to show up and experience this!

The URU team desires to support you in deepening your personal practice and to empower you to take learning and practicing into your own hands. This week we invite you to explore your practice on and off the mat! ???? Chanting OM???? ???? Practice of the Week at URU Yoga: Chanting OM ???? The word Om is defined by Hindu scripture as being the primordial sound of creation. It is the original vibration of the universe. From this first vibration, all other vibrations are able to manifest. Sound is not merely something that is to be heard, it is a bit more complex! Sound is made up of vibrations and the number of vibrations per second is a frequency. Everyone and everything vibrates on a frequency. The great inventor and scientist Nikola Tesla once said, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.” Chanting OM allows you align your frequency with that of the universe deepening one’s spiritual practice. Also, allowing the mind to align with your body and breath bringing you in to a state of calmness. Begin by finding your way into your Sukhasana (your easy seat), eyes can close or remain open with a soft gaze, take a big breath in and a big breath out, on your next breath begin making an “OOOO” sound releasing the rest of your breathe bring your lips together making the “MMMMM” sound. Repeat 2 more times and take a moment to see how your body feels. Chanting OM calms the mind and pulls positive energy into your body. Relieving stress and anxiety from our daily lives. You can chant OM at any time of the day, eventing or night. With love and light, Your URU Kula JOIN US THIS WEEKEND…..

KALI is a powerful energy-healing modality that activates the movement of life force energy within the body, assists us in transforming our lives and connects us to our heart. It is a deep and profound experience to enhance your physical and emotional self-awareness by tapping into your life force energy. KALI ignites the Kundalini awakening process.Kundalini awakening is an integral part of many spiritual practices and is often considered the highest form of spiritual enlightenment. In this process, we tap into an immense source of energy within and unlock our full potential. This then brings about healing, transformation, and greater understanding. It is a powerful and transformative experience that can leave us feeling more connected to ourselves, the universe, and our divine purpose. Kundalini energy is present in all humans and is often referred to as the “life force” or “sacred fire.” It is the subtle force that connects us to the universe. Through KALI, we explore our inner potential and initiate an unfolding of awareness that dissolves blockages, rebalances our chakras, and leads to higher states of consciousness and a deeper understanding of the personal and human experience. I also activate and transmit other healing light codes besides Kundalini. Including but not limited to: * Arcturian * Orion * Sirian * Pleiadian * Lyran * Lemurian * Akashic * Dragon * Elementals… This work has opened me up to a lot of 5d energies so new things come in all the time! What to Expect on the Mat You can witness profound shifts in awareness, clarity, heightened perception, increased intuition, self-empowerment, deep relaxation, somatic releases, and vivid visual journeys. Once the body deeply opens up to the energy the body will want to move with that flow. The voice, and tears sometimes flow too with this opening. Let it, without judgment. You can stop the process at any time by opening your eyes or over mentalizing You will be in recline on the floor for most of the practice. Please bring whatever you need to make you comfortable. It’s also recommended for a receiver to be well hydrated, and not have a full stomach. Register on MindBody Coming Up This Week….

This space is for any human seeking a communal space to connect, dance, share vulnerably, authentically, and without shame! Ecstatic dance is a practice of releasing your inhibitions to allow the frequency of the music to move you and groove you in wonderful, exciting & unexpected ways. When we move from the mind and into the body, alchemy occurs, and we are able to shift stuck + trapped emotions, revealing a deeper, richer connection with Self. Each dance is an alchemical journey of magic in which you are asked to surrender deeper + open more to the ways in which your spirit is urging you to M O V E through whatever emotions are present. All of you is welcome here to play, explore, and connect with your body on a deeper level than you may ever have before.

Walking Meditation, Goddess Flow Chakra Dance, Blacklight Aerial Silks + MORE! Practice of the Week: Showing up for your practice in studio is amazing, AND there is something extra magical about showing up for your practice outside of the studio. The URU team desires to support you in deepening your personal practice and to empower you to take learning and practicing into your own hands. This week we invite you to explore your practice on and off the mat! ???? Saucha (Purity) ???? ???? Practice of the Week at URU Yoga: Saucha (Purity) ???? “Saucha invites us to purify our bodies, thoughts, and words.” – Deborah Adele The first Niyama: Saucha, means Purity. This principle encourages us to engage in the transformative process of cleansing and purifying, not only on a physical level but also within our thoughts and words. Deborah Adele’s wisdom reminds us that our journey towards purity is a personal one. Just as no two individuals are identical, the steps we take to cleanse and purify will manifest uniquely for each of us. Saucha is a practice of respect for our own individuality. On a physical level, Saucha encourages us to create environments of order and cleanliness. This can mean tidying our homes, organizing our workspaces, or even decluttering our cars. Furthermore, it extends to our dietary choices – nurturing our bodies with fresh, whole foods that nourish us from within. Yet, Saucha doesn’t stop at the physical realm. It delves into the mental landscape as well. To purify our thoughts involves a conscious effort to reprogram negativity. As we become more aware of our mental patterns, we can actively shift our thinking towards positivity and self-compassion. Saucha also offers us the gift of radical presence. In a world where distractions and scattering thoughts abound, this practice invites us to be fully present in each moment. By doing so, we align with the essence of purity, as we’re not fragmented by our surroundings but anchored in the here and now. As you embark on this journey of Saucha, let its essence resonate with you in your own way. Whether it’s through physical cleaning, dietary adjustments, mental reprogramming, or radical presence, let the principle of purity guide your path toward a more vibrant and aligned life.

Discover the invigorating power of cold exposure and dive into the Ice Bath Experience at URU Airport Location every Tuesday and Thursday morning after Justin Nutt’s Pranayama & The Energetic Body Class! Class @ 7AM, Ice bath @ 8:30AM ????♂️❄️ Benefits of Cold Exposure: ????️ Physical Benefits: Ice baths promote muscle recovery by reducing inflammation and soreness. The cold temperature constricts blood vessels and flushes out waste products, facilitating faster healing. It also boosts metabolism and improves circulation. ???? Mental & Nervous System Benefits: The shock of cold immersion challenges the mind, encouraging mental resilience and strength. It stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to a sense of relaxation, reduced stress, and improved sleep. ???? Empowerment & Meeting Edges: Ice baths teach you that you can endure and conquer challenging situations, both on and off the mat. Embrace the power within you and step out of your comfort zone. ???? Rewiring the Brain: Cold exposure triggers the release of mood-enhancing neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. It promotes adaptability and resilience, enhancing mental clarity and focus. If you’d like to ease into cold exposure, try this gradual approach: turn your shower to cold for the last 30 seconds. Notice the sensations and observe your breath. With time, you may find yourself more open to the full ice bath experience. ⚠️ Caution for Certain Health Conditions: Individuals with heart conditions, hypertension, or a history of cold allergies should avoid ice baths. If you’re pregnant, have respiratory issues, or any medical concerns, consult your healthcare professional before trying cold exposure. Join us at URU Airport Location on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to explore the benefits of ice baths, and embrace the idea that you are capable of embracing challenges and rewiring your mind for resilience. Let’s dive into the ice together! ❄️???? With love and light, Your URU Kula JOIN US THIS WEEKEND…..

KALI is a powerful energy-healing modality that activates the movement of life force energy within the body, assists us in transforming our lives and connects us to our heart. It is a deep and profound experience to enhance your physical and emotional self-awareness by tapping into your life force energy. KALI ignites the Kundalini awakening process.Kundalini awakening is an integral part of many spiritual practices and is often considered the highest form of spiritual enlightenment. In this process, we tap into an immense source of energy within and unlock our full potential. This then brings about healing, transformation, and greater understanding. It is a powerful and transformative experience that can leave us feeling more connected to ourselves, the universe, and our divine purpose. Kundalini energy is present in all humans and is often referred to as the “life force” or “sacred fire.” It is the subtle force that connects us to the universe. Through KALI, we explore our inner potential and initiate an unfolding of awareness that dissolves blockages, rebalances our chakras, and leads to higher states of consciousness and a deeper understanding of the personal and human experience. I also activate and transmit other healing light codes besides Kundalini. Including but not limited to: * Arcturian * Orion * Sirian * Pleiadian * Lyran * Lemurian * Akashic * Dragon * Elementals… This work has opened me up to a lot of 5d energies so new things come in all the time! What to Expect on the Mat You can witness profound shifts in awareness, clarity, heightened perception, increased intuition, self-empowerment, deep relaxation, somatic releases, and vivid visual journeys. Once the body deeply opens up to the energy the body will want to move with that flow. The voice, and tears sometimes flow too with this opening. Let it, without judgment. You can stop the process at any time by opening your eyes or over mentalizing You will be in recline on the floor for most of the practice. Please bring whatever you need to make you comfortable. It’s also recommended for a receiver to be well hydrated, and not have a full stomach. Register on MindBody. Register on Eventbrite!

Mantras are sacred sounds used to focus the mind on the Divine. Names of deities will be used, but this doesn’t mean that you are invoking anything outside of yourself. You are the Divine, and you are chanting to that place within YOU. We will not dive too deep into the meanings of these mantras in this class, instead- we will focus on dropping into the chanting and opening our hearts to our own unique experience. Brenan & Makaylah offer more in-depth workshops and classes to dive deeper into mythology and meaning if you are interested in learning more! There will be no Asana (physical practice) in this class.

We will keep the lighting relatively low… but there will be plenty of light to see! ***Please note, that we will NOT be using the powerpoint slides that we have used previously at events. We’d like for this to be a more traditional, intimate, and screen-free event. We are working towards creating a song-book to share with attendees, but until then- we will just be singing simple chants from memory! ***Also, if you are unable to pay the entire $15 drop-in, we will accept donations for this class.

Sound baths, Ice baths, YINward, and MORE! Practice of the Week: Showing up for your practice in studio is amazing, AND there is something extra magical about showing up for your practice outside of the studio. The URU team desires to support you in deepening your personal practice and to empower you to take learning and practicing into your own hands. This week we invite you to explore your practice on and off the mat! ???? Reverse Triangle (Viparita Trikonasana) ???? ???? Practice of the Week at URU Yoga: Reverse Triangle (Viparita Trikonasana) ???? Demonstrated by Jen Faith Getting into the Pose: From the simple Tadasana, bring the feet placing them wide apart and stand in the Star Pose taking a few rounds of breathing here. From the Star Pose, turn the right foot outwards to 90 degrees, and bring the left foot inwards to 45 degrees. Make sure the foot is comfortable and so are the knees. Inhale and raise the right arm above your shoulders and head and take it backwards without bending the elbows. Exhale completely and and bring the left hand down to be placed on the back of the left knee. Flexing the neck, shoulder, arms and the hips go gently backwards, feeling the stretch at the right side of the lower side back, the side upper back close to the side wall of the right ribs, the lower abdomen and the neck. Make sure the body is facing towards the side, the chest and the shoulders are in line and now facing the right foot or forward. The body remains like in the pose Trikonasana. Benefits of Reverse Triangle: ????Stretches, Strengthens, Lengthens: In Reverse Triangle Pose, while the right side of the spine bends, the left side stretches and vice-a-versa, and brings stability and balance to both sides of the spine and the various muscles involved in the stretch. A beautiful way of stretching the muscles of the legs, arms, chest, rib cage, abdominal area, neck, and shoulders along with compressing one side of the torso, this backbend helps to strengthen and tone the legs and back. It also helps build a much stronger core. ???? Chest, Diaphragm and Breath: The deep stretch of the torso from the lower abdomen in Viparita Trikonasana encourages the opening of the chest. Using the maximum of the diaphragm, it encourages better use of the lungs and improves breathing with practice. With an improved breathing process, opening of the heart is encouraged, keeping it active and fresh. ???? Stimulation and Organs: The stretching of the belly and the use of the core and the abdominal muscles helps improve the functioning of various organs, while the maximum stretch is felt at the navel. This is a great way to improve the fire in the body and enhances digestion. With love and light, Your URU Kula JOIN US THIS WEEKEND…..

Yin Yoga with Live Handpan music, Singing Bowl Meditation, Self Defense, Reiki and SO MUCH MORE! Practice of the Week: Showing up for your practice in studio is amazing, AND there is something extra magical about showing up for your practice outside of the studio. The URU team desires to support you in deepening your personal practice and to empower you to take learning and practicing into your own hands. This week we invite you to explore your practice on and off the mat! ???? Utkata Konasana (Goddess Pose) ???? Goddess Pose, also known as Utkata Konasana, invites you to embody the fierce and strong energy of the goddess within you. This powerful pose strengthens your legs, opens your hips, and cultivates a sense of groundedness. Let’s explore how to step into the goddess energy! Getting into the Pose: 1️⃣ Begin standing with your feet wider than hip-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward. 2️⃣ Bend your knees deeply, ensuring they track in line with your toes. 3️⃣ Sink your hips down, bringing your thighs parallel to the ground. 4️⃣ Lengthen your tailbone downward and engage your core. 5️⃣ Lift your arms out to the sides at shoulder height, bend the elbows, palms face forward… it’s as if you could slide between two walls. Benefits of Goddess Pose: ???? Strengthens: This pose strengthens and tones your leg muscles, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. ???? Opens Hips: Goddess Pose stretches and opens the hips, promoting flexibility and relieving tension in the hip area. ???? Empowers: Embodying the fierce goddess energy, this pose helps cultivate confidence, inner strength, and a sense of empowerment. Common Challenges: ???? Knee Alignment: Maintain proper alignment by ensuring your knees track in line with your toes. If your knees tend to collapse inward, gently press them outward. ???? Balance and Stability: Finding balance in a deep squat can be challenging. If needed, widen your stance or use a blanket under your heels for support. Embodying Fierce Goddess Energy: As you sink into Goddess Pose, tap into your inner goddess energy. Feel the strength, power, and grace within you. Embrace the qualities of a goddess, such as confidence, fearlessness, and nurturing energy. Let this pose serve as a reminder of your own divine nature and the incredible strength you hold within. Take time this week to practice Goddess Pose, honoring the goddess energy that resides within you on and off the mat. Embrace the challenges, celebrate your strength, and embody the fierce and empowering essence of the goddess. We can’t wait to see you shine on the mat!

KALI, Root to Rise: Community Event, Beach Sound Bath, and MORE! Practice of the Week: Showing up for your practice in studio is amazing, AND there is something extra magical about showing up for your practice outside of the studio. The URU team desires to support you in deepening your personal practice and to empower you to take learning and practicing into your own hands. This week we invite you to explore your practice on and off the mat! ???? Aparigraha / Non-posessiveness ???? Aparigraha, one of the five Yamas in yoga philosophy, invites us to embrace the principle of non-possessiveness. It teaches us to let go of attachments, both physical and mental, and cultivate a sense of freedom and contentment in the present moment. This week, we invite you to practice of aparigraha. Here are three options to explore and connect with this powerful principle: 1. “This week, pay attention to your breath. Let the simple act of inhaling and exhaling teach you about the fullness of breathing in life without the need to hold on to it. Journal your observations and experiences.” 2. “This week, look at the physical things you have surrounded yourself with. Do these things make you feel free and light, or do they have a hold on you and make you feel heavy?” 3. “This week, notice where you impose your expectations on people and things, unconsciously demanding that they give you the usual fulfillment and comfort. How do your expectations keep you limited and often disgruntled?” These practices are from the book “The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga’s Ethical Practice” by Deborah Adele, offering insights into the path of self-discovery and transformation. May the practice of aparigraha guide you towards a more liberated and fulfilled life. With love and light, Your URU Kula JOIN US THIS WEEKEND…..

KALI is a powerful energy-healing modality that activates the movement of life force energy within the body, assists us in transforming our lives and connects us to our heart. It is a deep and profound experience to enhance your physical and emotional self-awareness by tapping into your life force energy. KALI ignites the Kundalini awakening process.Kundalini awakening is an integral part of many spiritual practices and is often considered the highest form of spiritual enlightenment. In this process, we tap into an immense source of energy within and unlock our full potential. This then brings about healing, transformation, and greater understanding. It is a powerful and transformative experience that can leave us feeling more connected to ourselves, the universe, and our divine purpose. Kundalini energy is present in all humans and is often referred to as the “life force” or “sacred fire.” It is the subtle force that connects us to the universe. Through KALI, we explore our inner potential and initiate an unfolding of awareness that dissolves blockages, rebalances our chakras, and leads to higher states of consciousness and a deeper understanding of the personal and human experience. What to Expect on the Mat You can witness profound shifts in awareness, clarity, heightened perception, increased intuition, self-empowerment, deep relaxation, somatic releases, and vivid visual journeys. Once the body deeply opens up to the energy the body will want to move with that flow. The voice, and tears sometimes flow too with this opening. Let it, without judgment. You can stop the process at any time by opening your eyes or over mentalizing You will be in recline on the floor for most of the practice. Please bring whatever you need to make you comfortable. It’s also recommended for a receiver to be well hydrated, and not have a full stomach. I can’t wait to share this work with you Pensacola!
