24.01.2022 Hello Urban Souls! We have made some exciting changes to our class structure which will make your yoga journey easier to follow. All Slow Flow classes are now called OPEN FLOW, and are the perfect progression from our beginner classes. Here is our updated class description page https://www.urbansoulraw.com/classes... Melanie Shafer’s Open Flow classes will still be in blue and are ideal for all levels. If you are new to yoga, we suggest beginning with our blue classes before commencing with our more challenging classes including Open Flow https://www.urbansoulraw.com/classes/timetable However, yoga is deeply personal and this is YOUR PRACTICE, make sure you listen to your body and feel free to ask any of our friendly teachers for help if you’re feeling unsure. If you want to join or rejoin our groovy community, we also have some awesome sales running, ending on October 31st so get in quick! https://www.urbansoulraw.com/class-prices
23.01.2022 I love that at Urban Soul the emphasis is on you doing you Maybe one legged wheel pose is something you aspire to. Or....... Your next challenge might be getting both your feet flat on the ground for yogi prayer squat. (Im looking forward to that day) Or maybe its all about turning up and getting through your first ever Yoga class Wherever you are at is a groovy place to be.... Thank you Clare and Andrew for doing you If you havent been to the studio yet and you want to give yoga a try in a safe, supportive environment then try our $49 unlimited yoga for a month intro deal https://intro49.urbansoulraw.com And if you are thinking of returning to your practice at the studio then get in touch as well....its an interesting time and there are many benefits when practicing in a safe space See you soon

23.01.2022 One of our students, the lovely Jade Bailey is cycling Vietnam to raise money for MS research - www.doitforms.org.au/participant/Jade It's a mission that means a lot to her. Let's get behind her with some dollars and encouragement. Go Jade!
22.01.2022 Showcasing our phenomenal teachers, starting with Emily Nicola: "Like many people, I did not start practicing yoga with the idea that I would one day teach yoga as a practice was challenge enough! But when I dove into my first teacher training and came out the other side, I decided I at least wanted to give teaching a crack. Urban Soul was the first studio I began teaching at regularly and I started out on the community class roster. This platform was the perfect way to gr...ow as a teacher and find my voice and I very quickly fell in love with it. Two years on and I still feel that same sense of community that a smaller studio is able to offer. One of my favourite parts about teaching at a studio like Urban Soul is that it makes it easier to forge a personal connection with the students. Not only do you get to know peoples strengths and challenges when it comes to their yoga practice and watch them grow as students, but it also gives you the ability to get to know the personal side of people and what they do between yoga classes like training for a marathon, chasing children or teaching on their feet all day. Urbans relaxed environment also means its a safe space for learning and I find that students feel very comfortable to ask questions and explore. I really like that all of the teachers at Urban have their own style of teaching and have come from different backgrounds and modalities this definitely creates a diverse array of offerings for students to choose from and enjoy" Emily teaches on Sundays and Mondays - https://www.urbansoulraw.com/cla/class-schedule-and-book-in

22.01.2022 Hello Urban Souls! We recently welcomed a wonderful new teacher, Lauren, to our groovy Urban Soul community! Lauren’s focus is on restorative movement and sharing the mental and physical benefits of a regular yoga practice, restoring and rejuvenating the body and mind. Her practice is mindful, aligning strength, mobility, balance and breath awareness. Her love of surfing, travel and yoga drew her to Bali to complete her yoga teacher training. Lauren has trained under ...some of the most well respected yogis in the world. Lauren believes that yoga is the path to transformation, awakening and healing. We are grateful to be able to share in her practice! Lauren teaches Open Flow at 12.30pm on Wednesdays, head to our website to book! https://www.urbansoulraw.com/
22.01.2022 I havent posted for a long time I disconnected from my yoga practice and I lost my way. It was hard to return and I didnt feel authentic It was all in my head of course... Housesitting around the country was great but I missed a sense of community and I became a bit broken physically, emotionally and spiritually. It was tough! I thought I had drifted of my path but my beautiful friends helped me realise that I had just taken a detour through the forest The forest by the way can also be a stunning place to be.... I do feel back on track now.....I have reconnected to regular yoga and meditation, healthy eating and to my community. I feel more centred in these crazy times and my health has dramatically improved! Life is pretty good....and the snowy mountains are amazing! #yogaeverydamnday #yogainthesnow #yogatribe #yogaisawayoflife #yogaisamazing #trianglepose #snowymountains #snowymountainsnsw #feelingcontent #alexandriansw #urbansydney #yogacommunity #yogainthetrees #snowyoga #yogafun
21.01.2022 Henrikke is a member of our beautiful community who started with us when lockdown finished Henrikke has attended 138 classes in 120 days which is just amazing and it’s been an absolute joy to see her smiling face every day ... Here is what Henrikke had to say about Urban Soul and yoga I like the welcoming feeling of the studio, I feel like I don’t have to be self conscious. It’s got a real family vibe which is important to me, and the teachers find ways to make each class fun Thanks for your kind words Henrikke and see you soon
21.01.2022 The POOL - one of my favourite features about having our next retreat at Swami's Yoga Retreat in March. https://www.facebook.com/events/301767407361325/ HYDROTHERAPY here we come - moving in water offers a different sense of support and engagement to moving on land, leaving you feeling energised and floaty. We're also planning an outdoor morning yoga session - Poolside Practice! Bring on the wonders of water :-)... 7 more days for early bird!
21.01.2022 Never thought dancers pose temperature checks would be a thing! Love the way our beautiful community has embraced the safety changes to our groovy studio. There is a really wonderful vibe when doing face to face yoga Temp checks, social distancing and not attending when feeling ill have all helped make yoga at Urban Soul a safe and comfortable experience. ... From our end we now have at least 30 mins between all classes and we have also reduced class sizes as well as being vigilant with all our cleaning process. Safety both on and off remains our priority and we hope to see you soon Here is our awesome $49 one of unlimited yoga intro offer for new students https://intro49.urbansoulraw.com/
21.01.2022 We love MAGENTA! And the fabulous Tansin who brings her artistic skills to paint our studio, making it cosy and colourful :-) She does well at sneaking in a Saturday night painting session - our timetable is so full of classes there, aren't many gaps when she can pull out the protective tarp and wait for each coat to dry.
21.01.2022 Feldenkrais starts back again today with the theme of awakening the powerful muscles of your buttocks!
20.01.2022 You'll be pleased to hear we've bought some fans! So now the early morning classes (before we're allowed to use the aircon in respect of our neighbours sleeping!) can have a gentle breeze for their yoga practice :-) Stay cool and hydrated in this humidity.
20.01.2022 Indoor/outdoor living is my favourite. Connect to what really matters in life - living On Purpose is our theme - March 6th-8th 2020 - https://www.facebook.com/events/301767407361325/ You've got 8 days to get the retreat early bird offer :-)
20.01.2022 Season’s Greetings, Urban Souls! I wanted to share a few updates with you ahead of the holiday season and information about the studio opening hours ... If you need grounding and invigorating, the studio remains open every day on a reduced schedule. Be sure to check the schedule online On Christmas Day, the wonderful Melanie is running a charity class by donation. The proceeds will go to the Villa Kitty foundation in Bali in support of sick and injured cats and kittens. Villa Kitty has relied on support from tourists and they are struggling at this time. This is a wonderful way to start your Christmas by giving back to yourself, your body and animals in need I also wanted to share some Christmas cheer and a reminder to breathe deeply and smile! The way our bodies move and work for us is astounding and I am really feeling the benefits of a regular practice as well as engaging with Urban Soul’s beautiful community Book in and bring some calm to your holidays - check out the schedule here: https://www.urbansoulraw.com/cla/class-schedule-and-book-in
20.01.2022 We're excited about KIDS YOGA 2.30pm TODAY!! Class by donation with all proceeds supporting roomtoread.org 45mins of fun, incorporating positive touch, movement, breath and cooperative games.
19.01.2022 So our quad share rooms have just SOLD OUT for our On Purpose retreat in March! https://www.facebook.com/events/301767407361325/ But the good news is there are still twin share spaces available and if you're coming with a partner, you can even request a double bed (instead of two single beds). The rooms are pretty nice; they all have ensuites. We have even decided to extend the early bird by 3 extra days so you now have until Sunday to snap up some savings for a lovely weekend away :-)
18.01.2022 Whilst we totally love our urban studio sanctuary in Alexandria, the wide open windows looking onto nature and gentle breeze floating through at Swami's Yoga Retreat is pretty hard to beat....Luckily you can enjoy BOTH studio spaces by attending our On Purpose retreat in March! https://www.facebook.com/events/301767407361325/ Early bird extended until this Sunday - 8 places left!
16.01.2022 Season’s Greetings, Urban Souls! I wanted to share a few updates with you ahead of the holiday season and information about the studio opening hours ...

16.01.2022 Greetings from a very groovy housesit I’m doing in the Blue Mountains for the next 2 weeks I always picture my photo shoots to somehow portray me as a petite, graceful yogi.........tends not to come across that way and that’s ok I really have to stop comparing myself to some of the amazing Instagram photos that I see ... It’s interesting...... When I tell people that I own a yoga studio I’m amazed with how many people tell me I can’t do yoga I’m blown away with this view that we need to be extremely flexible to attend a yoga class. This a big myth! Some of us are fortunate to discover yoga at a younger age, whilst others like myself attend their first class at 51 and they love it so much that they make the crazy decision to buy a yoga studio when they are 52! Of course I would love to do wheel or crow pose and to meditate more effectively and I’m not ruling it out just yet, but the fact that I feel healthier at 56 than what I did at 36 is enough to keep me coming back.... Yoga is pretty much for everybody......any age, any gender, any body shape....if you have thought about trying it I highly recommend it....wouldn’t it be wonderful to create some extra space in your body and mind At Urban Soul we welcome both new and experienced yogis. We have a beautiful community and a gorgeous space and no matter where you are at on your yoga journey our compassionate teachers will safely support and challenge you as you grow your practice. Why not try our wonderful one month of unlimited yoga offer for $49. It could be just what you need https://intro49.urbansoulraw.com/

15.01.2022 Why is it that leisure time is so precious (and rare) in the busy lives we lead? A question you might ponder over the course of our On Purpose retreat in March - https://www.facebook.com/events/301767407361325/ Perhaps the better questions is how to create more of it for yourself.... 8 twin share spots available - early bird on offer until this Sunday :-)

11.01.2022 It’s the silly season already and that’s got me thinking - where has this year gone?? It’s been an unprecedented year of ups and downs and there’s a lot to reflect on as we head into 2021. After starting the year as a housesitter it’s been amazing to stay in one place and reconnect with my studio and with a regular practice. Im now attending classes 5 days a week and through dietary changes and regular yoga I have been fortunate to lose 25 kgs since lockdown. It’s really... important to me to keep going with these changes heading into 2021. Our Urban Soul timetable for the holidays is now online with plenty of classes to choose from! https://www.urbansoulraw.com/cla/class-schedule-and-book-in We are excited to be open every day in December and January including Christmas Day and New Years Day so you can continue your yoga journey during the holiday period. See you at the studio.

If you need to mediate on whether or not you want to join us there, by all means take your time deciding. If however, you already know that's what you want to do and want to get a special deal, today's the final day of earlybird.... x

03.01.2022 Two tennis courts you should know about: One is the onsite tennis court / basketball court at Swami's Yoga Retreat (the location for our ON PURPOSE Retreat in March 2020 - https://www.facebook.com/events/301767407361325/ ).

02.01.2022 If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. It’s always fun to practice yoga with a friend, and it’s really awesome to practice with your partner! Kate has been coming to Urban Soul for 18 months and 3 months ago Eugene joined her! Kate and Eugene bring a fantastic and fun energy to their practice and the studio and we are blessed to have them as part of our community ... To these students, Urban Soul represented a space they can visit that isn’t home or work, especially with the lines blurring between the two! They motivate each other to make sure they’re getting to those 6.15am classes to grow their yoga practice. Our community is truly amazing If you'd like to join our groovy studio or find out more about our wonderful teachers and classes, head to our website for more info: https://www.urbansoulraw.com/

01.01.2022 Michael may well be one of our most experienced yogis at Urban Soul. He has been practicing yoga since he was seventeen years old and doesn’t show any signs of stopping! For Michael, yoga is an active way to maintain his body and mind in a meditative state, which he finds is even more important in an urban environment. He notices a difference in his mental state and wellbeing on the days where he fits in an hour or two of yoga and has even noticed his back pains have disappea...red with a regular practice. Michael is a valuable member of our Urban Soul community and is a great inspiration to show up for ourselves, slow down and find a new way to be the best version of ourselves. If you’re interested in exploring all the benefits that yoga can offer to your mind, body and soul, why not join us at our groovy studio? Our classes are perfect for inexperienced practitioners as well as students progressing in their yoga journey. Book online here: https://www.urbansoulraw.com/
