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!

Swan Michelle Sound Bath Testimonial: “One of my most cherished offerings is Sound Bath. I’ve been doing them in Swan River Yoga New Orleans, and around the world, since 2012. I value them as they are inward, accessible collectively, and get us to enjoy imbibing in the set of conscious listening, receiving, and changing our consciousness, ahead of time. Pure vibrational sound frequency is energy, and energy can change matter. Sound, as a therapy, will assist in unwinding the parasympathetic nervous system, where we often addict ourselves to habitually living under the hormones of stress and incoherence. The parasympathetic nervous system can better harmonize with the sympathetic nervous system in states of presence and stillness, where we lessen the gap between us and our divine nature into true heart coherence. This lends us to embody the reciprocal play of being both calm and alert, as instruments of energized divinity. Sound Bath’s are also art. It is a creative and uplifting means of meditating and getting into space, where potentiality resides. Having been surrounded by music most of my life, I consider music to be a path of of healing and re-acclimating back to vibrant health and joy. I’ve seen this in thousands of others. They come back to themselves, at ease, in wholeness, not as fatigued or stressed, yet radiant in their True nature after a Sound Bath. Families, all variances of able bodied and age come, which brings a true cast collective together. I deeply respect going IN with these far OUT sounds in the community, connecting and inter-connecting.” Swan Michelle About Swan MIchelle. www.swanmichelle.com www.swanriveryoga.com Swan Michelle has been teaching yoga full time since the year 1998 as one of the first handful of yoga teachers in New Orleans.

Beach Soundbath, Ecstatic Dance, Beach Yoga, Aerial Silks, 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 a Yama (Restraints in Sanskrit). Brahmacharya (Non-excess) ???? Practice of the Week: Brahmacharya ???? This week, we delve into the yogic principle of Brahmacharya, one of the Yamas, which guides us towards harmonious and conscious relationships with ourselves and others. Brahmacharya invites us to cultivate moderation, balance, and mindful energy management in all aspects of our lives. It encourages us to use our vital life force with awareness, aligning our actions, thoughts, and desires in ways that support our overall well-being and spiritual growth. Here are some key reflections and practices to explore Brahmacharya in your life: 1️⃣ Self-Inquiry: Reflect on your energy expenditure. Are there areas in your life where you may be exerting excessive energy or engaging in behaviors that drain your vital life force? How can you cultivate moderation and balance to restore harmony? 2️⃣ Mindful Consumption: Observe your habits of consumption, including food, media, and relationships. Are you nourishing yourself with what truly supports your well-being? Practice conscious choices that promote vitality and avoid excesses that may deplete your energy. 3️⃣ Sacred Pause: Incorporate moments of stillness and silence into your daily routine. By creating space for inner reflection, you can consciously direct your energy towards intentions that align with your higher self. 4️⃣ Cultivate Inner Awareness: Develop a daily meditation or mindfulness practice to deepen your understanding of your own desires, impulses, and patterns of behavior. By cultivating self-awareness, you can make conscious choices in alignment with your values and higher purpose.

uru website, Join URU this WEEKEND
Awakening Shakti, Ecstatic Dance, Beach Yoga, Aerial Silks, 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 a Yama (Restraints in Sanskrit). Brahmacharya (Non-excess) ???? Practice of the Week: Brahmacharya ???? This week, we delve into the yogic principle of Brahmacharya, one of the Yamas, which guides us towards harmonious and conscious relationships with ourselves and others. Brahmacharya invites us to cultivate moderation, balance, and mindful energy management in all aspects of our lives. It encourages us to use our vital life force with awareness, aligning our actions, thoughts, and desires in ways that support our overall well-being and spiritual growth. Here are some key reflections and practices to explore Brahmacharya in your life: 1️⃣ Self-Inquiry: Reflect on your energy expenditure. Are there areas in your life where you may be exerting excessive energy or engaging in behaviors that drain your vital life force? How can you cultivate moderation and balance to restore harmony? 2️⃣ Mindful Consumption: Observe your habits of consumption, including food, media, and relationships. Are you nourishing yourself with what truly supports your well-being? Practice conscious choices that promote vitality and avoid excesses that may deplete your energy. 3️⃣ Sacred Pause: Incorporate moments of stillness and silence into your daily routine. By creating space for inner reflection, you can consciously direct your energy towards intentions that align with your higher self. 4️⃣ Cultivate Inner Awareness: Develop a daily meditation or mindfulness practice to deepen your understanding of your own desires, impulses, and patterns of behavior. By cultivating self-awareness, you can make conscious choices in alignment with your values and higher purpose. Remember, Brahmacharya is a personal exploration, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Embrace this practice with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to adapt it to your unique journey. Wishing you a week filled with mindful energy management and an enhanced sense of balance and harmony. Happy practicing! JOIN US THIS WEEKEND…..

uru website, Join URU this WEEKEND
Goddess Flow Dance, Beach Yoga, Aerial Silks, 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 an asana (physical posture). Ardha Pincha Mayurasana (Dolphin pose) ✨ Dolphin Pose: Ardha Pincha Mayurasana ✨This pose is a fantastic way to build strength and flexibility while preparing your body for inversions. So let’s explore the magic of Dolphin Pose! Getting into the Pose: Begin on all fours, aligning your shoulders directly over your wrists and your hips over your knees. Lower your forearms to the mat, keeping them parallel to each other. Elbows directly under your shoulders… they sometimes like to try to come wider. Tuck your toes and lift your hips, straightening your legs to create an inverted “V” shape. Press firmly through your forearms and palms, allowing your head to hang between your upper arms. Try tip-toeing your feet closer towards your upper-body to open your chest more. Benefits of Dolphin Pose: ???? Strengthens: Dolphin Pose engages and tones your core, shoulders, and arms, building upper body strength. ???? Lengthens: The pose stretches your hamstrings and calves, providing relief to tight muscles. ???? Improves Digestion: By encouraging blood flow to your abdomen, Dolphin Pose aids digestion and helps alleviate digestive issues. ???? Calms the Mind: This pose promotes deep breathing and relaxation, reducing stress and anxiety. Preparing for Inversions: Dolphin Pose is an excellent preparatory pose for inversions such as Headstand or Forearm Stand. It helps build the necessary shoulder and core strength while familiarizing you with the upside-down sensation. Regular practice of Dolphin Pose can help you develop the stability and confidence needed for more advanced inversions. Common Challenges: As with any yoga pose, Dolphin Pose has its challenges. Here are a few common ones you might encounter: ???? Tight shoulders or hamstrings: If you experience tightness, consider bending your knees slightly or using props such as blocks to support your forearms. ???? Strained neck or wrists: Ensure that your head hangs naturally between your arms, without putting excess pressure on your neck. If your wrists feel uncomfortable, try practicing with a folded mat or blanket under your forearms. Approaching the Pose with Playful Dolphin Energy: Dolphins are known for their playful, joyful nature, and you can channel that energy while practicing Dolphin Pose. Embrace the lightness and curiosity of a dolphin as you explore this pose. Find joy in the journey of building strength and flexibility, and remember to approach your practice with a sense of playfulness and self-compassion. So, dear yogis, dive into the Dolphin Pose, enjoy the benefits it offers, and let it prepare you for the beautiful world of inversions. Stay tuned for more yoga inspiration, tips, and updates in our next newsletter. Until then, keep flowing and radiating your inner light! Happy practicing! JOIN US THIS WEEKEND…..
