Urban Ashram Yoga

In this chaotic and uncertain world, my practice at Urban Ashram has helped me find focus and quiet. I love the diversity of the yoga classes I can take online (though I miss the face-to-face ones) and how all are challenging to my mind and body. My practice with the awesome teachers has taught me how to breathe and stay calm through poses…which I do in my daily life — breathing, being present in the moment, and finding peace amid disruption and distraction. Most especially, I try to be kind to and forgiving of myself because I do stumble and fall quite often! So, in yoga and daily life, I know to smile at mistakes, learn from them, and keep at it! Thanks, Urban Ashram...Happy Anniversary! — Yas Mapua Tang (practicing with Urban Ashram since I can't remember! Hehe )
Thank you, for sharing the yoga life lessons. And we’ve been practicing together since 2017! Happy 6th year to you!

Not all workouts have to be tough and exhausting. Sometimes, gentle and stress fee is the cardio you need to get your heart going and your nervous system balanced. Thank you, Marianne, for sharing your experience of how Yoga is for everyone who is looking to be healthy and relaxed.

“Urban Ashram has helped me developed my inner awareness and physical strength. I became more mindful and physically fit, I think:).
The yoga practice guided by Urban Ashram's teachers has become my shield from stress and anxieties particularly during the pandemic. I am not a fan of daily workout but Urban Ashram’s yoga has given me a daily dose of exercise and meditation which I truly enjoy. Thanks to Urban Ashram’s yoga via zoom, I can practice yoga anywhere.” - Nadia Nolo, dedicated student since 2015

“No more back pain, I feel taller as a result of good posture and feel young as a result of being flexible. Best thing about yoga is anyone can do it as long as you are willing.
For me, yoga is the cheapest way to keep fit without doctors and medicines.” - Roger Te Unson, practicing online everyday since 2020 and in person since 2014.

We have to deal with our bodies with thoughtful care and respect. At Urban Ashram, we teach you to move gracefully with the breath with no judgement for what it looks like but more importantly how it feels to you. How the body is speaking to you and what it is engaging you to do. And yes, in the process, there is a pause in the chaos, a stilling of the noises in the mind. See you on the mat and take time to know your self.

“Tenderness, where is the tenderness?”, as the 80s song reminds us. Balance is about returning to center and after a big or even slow start to Mondays, we all need to stretch it back out and release the day.
