CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
LAKULISH YOGA - Lakulish Yoga is a practice that safely and gradually guides the practitioner over time to an awakening of his or her own prana (vital life energy). It’s primary focus is to build prana and tapas (inner heat) while mobilizing the spinal column. Lakulish Yoga utilizes classical Hatha Yoga postures in a way that coaxes the breath and prana to move deep into the lower abdomen, the realm of the first and second chakras. Many of the Lakulish Yoga postures, therefore, center around building abdominal strength, spinal flexibility, and digestive fire. In this class, the postures are performed in combination with deep diaphramatic breathing (pranayama) and retention of the breath (kumbhaka) in order to build samana (digestive fire) which cleanses the 72,000 nadis (energy pathways in the body). Postures are held and repeated, and the body is allowed to relax into the openings. This is a gentle yet challenging form of Yoga in which special attention is given to making the mind, body, and energy stable and comfortable.
PRANAYAMA & MEDITATION - Meditation falls into the category of Raja Yoga (spontaneous Yoga), and is therefore, something that happens to an individual as opposed to something that is to be done. Meditation occurs when the mind is able to focus on just one thought for an extended period of time. It is a unique combination of focused concentration and deep relaxation which allows the seeker to tap into his or her Source. This class will explore various pranayams including anulome vilome pranayama (alternate nostril breathing), ujjayi pranayama (“ocean sounding breath”), and dirgha pranayama (three part breath). This class will also make use of concentration, visualization, energetic focus, and silent mantra repetition. The individual will learn how to harnass and focus his or her thoughts to dramatically increase prana (vital life energy). Meditation has been known to minimize tension, increase relaxation, cleanse and train the unconscious mind, awaken creativity, enhance memory and learning capacity, counteract stress, promote willpower, and build energy.
CHILDREN’S YOGA - Ages 5 through 9. This is a fun and engaging class designed especially for kids in the first through third grades! Children will learn the classical Hatha Yoga postures in a creative and playful way. They will learn how to breathe slow and deep into their lower abdomens, which will calm and relax their minds and bodies. Children will also learn relaxation techniques combined with guided meditation and story telling. Children who practice Yoga perform better in school, are more disciplined, more respectful, have more self-confidence, have more focus and concentration, show improved coordination and balance, have more strength and flexibility, and are more relaxed and creative.
HATHA YOGA - A lovely, gentle, one-hour basic Hatha Yoga posture flow with all your attention focused on your connection to the Divine. Offer, moment by moment, each pose to Divine Love and Light and experience how sacred one hour of your day can become. Perfect for newbies to Yoga postures. Beginner to moderate.
INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION AND ADVANCED INSTRUCTION - Inquiries about individual, one-on-one instruction and advanced teaching should be made via contacting Urja on the Contact page.

“It is with a happy heart that we are announcing the re-opening of the City Yoga Studio. Its’ new name is City Yoga Inc. since it is under new ownership. The previous owner, Angela Jones, had created a beautiful, loving environment to share in the practice of yoga.
We have all been blessed by so many amazing beings of light walking through the door. My deepest desire to keep this studio alive combined with the overwhelming support from the community, has made the new City Yoga Inc. a reality.

Yoga for Children
Many of us struggle our entire lives to free ourselves from the debilitating, limiting, and mostly false beliefs, perceptions, and patterns of our minds. Children do not initially have these patterns. They learn them by observation, trial, and error.
When a child is not limited by his or her mental patterns, his or her creativity, imagination, self-esteem, and natural wisdom and knowledge flourish. The child is removed from culturally inherited beliefs, fears, and negative conditioning. The child fully steps into his/her glory and radiance. Good manners, care and concern for others, positive morals, and values naturally manifest themselves.
Yoga is a means through which we can keep our children program-free. LakulishTM Yoga for Children helps children relax and focus. Each class employs the use of Yoga postures (Asana), deep diaphramatic breathing (Pranayama), and meditation.
There is a link between the cycles / habitual patterns of the mind and improper breathing. Deep diaphramatic breathing immediately calms and focuses the child’s mind. LakulishTM Yoga postures, which are done in combination with deep diaphramatic breathing, allow the child to breathe deeper into his or her lower abdomen, immediately eliminating stressful and more negative thoughts and emotions. Meditation helps children develop focus and concentration as well as become more observant of their own positive and negative behavior patterns.
Children who practice Yoga:
- sleep better
- are less anxious
- are more focused
- are more self-confident
- display good manners
- become role models for other chlidren
- avoid drugs and gangs
- are respectful of others
- are more creative
- get better grades in school
- perform better on quizzes and tests
