Sūtra Sangha Monthly Yoga Philosophy Circle

with Kaitlyn Mulford at URU Yoga
Sunday, February 22 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm

Sūtra Sangha
Monthly Yoga Philosophy Circle

A warm, welcoming space to explore the living heart of yogic wisdom, together.
I’m just a practicing yogi like you, not an expert above anyone in the room.
This is a true sangha: a circle of equals where every voice matters.
**Fellow yoga teachers especially**, I would genuinely love to have other teachers in the conversation. Your experience, your questions, your insights are so valuable here.
What we’re moving toward together
1. Cultivating Pramāna (Right Knowledge)
Exploring the core Yogic vision of reality: *Purusa* (the eternal soul), *Prakriti* (the living earth & manifest world), *Iśvāra * (the boundless Divine), and how we walk in *Dharma*, in right relationship with others, the earth, the cosmos, and the Divine.
2. Deep personal reflection
Gently connecting these teachings to your own inner experience and life right now.
3. Building real community
A living circle where we share, discuss, debate, offer different angles, and learn from each other. No hierarchy, just honest open exchange.
4. Practical integration
Walking away with simple, powerful tools: meditative prompts, mantras, ethical experiments you can weave into your daily life and watch the transformation unfold.
What a typical gathering feels like
- Opening circle: setting intention + quick sharing
- Relaxed exploration of a sūtra, concept, or theme (with Sanskrit roots + modern resonance)
- Lots of open dialogue, debate, story-sharing, questioning
- A short embodied practice so you can *feel* the philosophy
- Practical takeaways + soft, beautiful closing ritual
Details
- 90 minutes
- Bring a notebook if you feel called to take notes (many people love capturing the sparks) and/ or your personal copy of or notes on the Sūtras that you’d like to discuss.
- Investment: **$15** general / **$5** for fellow yoga teachers
Whether you’re brand new to philosophy or have been studying for decades,
your presence deepens the whole field.
This is Sūtra Sangha: living wisdom, held in community, unfolded together.
If this calls to you,
I’d love to see you in the circle 🌿🕉️✨

OSHO Active Meditation

with Elena Lavish at URU Yoga - 9 Mile
Tuesday, February 24 7:30 pm – 8:45 pm

OSHO Active Meditation is a dynamic and transformative practice designed for the modern, busy mind. Unlike traditional silent meditation, this method combines movement, breath, sound, and awareness to help release stress, emotional tension, and mental overload before naturally settling into stillness.

This meditation is especially beneficial for those who find it difficult to sit quietly or who feel overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, stress, or emotional buildup. The practice helps clear the mind and awaken a sense of inner freedom and vitality. Rather than forcing silence, OSHO Active Meditation invites an authentic experience of presence through expression and release. Through guided stages, participants reconnect with their body, release suppressed energy, and experience a deep sense of clarity, presence, and inner calm.

No prior meditation or yoga experience is required. All levels are welcome.

Please wear comfortable clothing and arrive with an open mind.

This event occurs Tuesday and Saturday nights, 7:30pm. 

There is a three person minimum attendance policy. Event may be cancelled 2 hours prior to start time If the minimum attendance policy is not met or if there are no sign ups.

Upside Down & Grounded: An Inversion Intensive

with Dagan Stafford at URU Yoga - Gulf Breeze
Saturday, February 28 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm

Upside Down & Grounded: An Inversion Intensive

Ready to flip your perspective? Join us for this 90-minute workshop-style intensive designed to take your practice off your feet and onto your hands, forearms, and head.
Inversions can be intimidating, but they are also some of the most empowering and playful elements of yoga. This session moves beyond the "hop and hope" method, focusing instead on the architectural alignment, core integration, and mental focus required to stay balanced while upside down.

What to Expect:
We’ve extended the clock to 90 minutes so we can truly dive deep. The class is structured into three distinct phases:
The Blueprint (30 mins): A targeted, high-energy flow to heat the body. We’ll focus on shoulder stability, wrist mobility, and "hollow body" core conditioning—the essential ingredients for a solid foundation.
The Lab (45 mins): This is where we break things down. Using the wall, blocks, and partner spotting, we will workshop Headstand (Sirsasana), Forearm Balance (Pincha Mayurasana), and Handstand (Adho Mukha Vrksasana) along with an assortment of other arm balances.
The Descent (15 mins): A cooling sequence of counter-stretches for the neck and shoulders, followed by a restorative Savasana to let the nervous system integrate the work.

Is this for me?
While some yoga experience is recommended, you do not need to be able to hold a handstand to attend. This class is for:
Intermediate students looking to refine their technique.
Adventurous beginners who want to learn the proper drills to build strength.
Anyone looking to conquer the fear of falling and find more playfulness on the mat.

Note: Please bring a towel and a water bottle. We recommend practicing on a relatively empty stomach!
