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.

City Yoga Reopens! NEW CLASS SCHEDULE!
Hello Everyone!
City Yoga has reopened its doors! Below is a message from its new owner, Jan Vita, a Lakulish Yoga student!!!!
“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. Please continue to check the website schedule as it will be evolving.
We are very excited! Please spread the word.
With a loving heart,
City Yoga Inc.

New Lakulish Yoga Schedule & Rates
Hello Lovelies!
I wanted to share with you the news in case you had not heard…. Angela Jones, owner of City Yoga, publicly announced the other day that City Yoga is closing.
This past week was my last week teaching classes at City Yoga.
It has been my dream for the longest time to serve the Divine through hosting a Lakulish Yoga studio in St. Augustine, FL. My dearest friend Heather and I are in the process now of making that dream a reality. We spent a couple of days taking everything out of the downtown business, Sphere, and we remodeled. We re-painted the floor and rearranged things to make the space more open so we could have classes in the downtown space.
Thus, next week, beginning with Tuesday, February 8th, all Lakulish Yoga classes and meditation classes will be held in the new location at Sphere.
Per your request, I have added more classes! The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday 10am – 11:30am Lakulish Yoga
Tuesday 7pm – 8pm Pranayama & Meditation
Thursday 10am – 11:30am Lakulish Yoga
Thursday 7pm – 8:30pm Lakulish Yoga
Friday 7pm – 8:30pm Lakulish Yoga
All classes are to be held at SPHERE, 51-C Cordova Street in downtown St. Augustine. We are right next to High Tide Gallery (formerly Mullet Beach Gallery) and Second Read Books, across from the large parking lot next to Flager college and the church.
We are looking to start up a Gita Study Group soon as well in which we can really go deeper into the chapters of the Bhagavad Gita. More information on that will be coming soon.
On the 4th Wednesday of each month, I will be leading a class from 7pm – 8:30pm on Lakulish Yoga, going more in depth into the philosophy and scripture and teachings and then covering one Lakulish Yoga posture per class and what each posture does for the body, mind, and spirit.
The pricing structure is as follows:
$10 per class, drop in
$85 per month, unlimited classes (except for the 4th Wednesday night class)
The $85 per month can be split into 2 payments if you like.
If you have ANY questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at lakulishyogaschool@yahoo.com. I hope to see you in class!
Much Love and Light,
Jennifer Jacobsen (Urja)
