Doesn’t matter how your day is starting, you can absolutely turn it around !! It may be Monday, it may be rainy, but there’s SOMETHING you can hold gratitude for. Pick three things! Now take a moment to manifest; whether it’s a better week, your desires for the new season, spring weather, or just new energy! The universe is in your favor boo!

It’s SUPER SOUL SUNDAYYYYYY!! Even if you don’t find yourself on the mat today, find some time for a deep breath. We may be bouncing between seasons and climates, but we always carry warmth WITHIN. If anything, it gives us an opportunity to ground deeper. Remember being is more than having, so don’t despair over delays !

A message for your Wednesday: There is more than enough love, opportunity, joy, creativity, abundance, and possibility to go around.

What is meant for you does not have to be taken from someone else, and someone else shining does not dim your light. Scarcity is a story the world often tells us, but the universe has always moved through expansion.

Springing forward on International Women’s Day (also Super soul Sunday) feels fitting. Being a woman in today’s world isn’t easy, and yet EVERYDAY women continue to rise, create, nurture, lead, and defy the odds.

So today, don’t just send a text that says “Happy Women’s Day.” Be intentional. Support the women in your life in real ways. Buy from their businesses. Check in on the older women who paved the way. Sit with our baby girls and remind them they are brilliant, worthy, and deeply seen.

Celebration is beautiful, but commitment is better. Class is starting NOW, so catch us at the studio 😉

Intentions are easy. Promises are easy. But it’s the quiet follow-through, the small decisions, the ways you show up day after day that tell the real story.

Alignment isn’t about talking about the life you want, it’s about moving in ways that reflect it. Even when it’s inconvenient. Even when no one is watching.

So today, move with intention.

Today, Jyll held space for a group of high school girls on the mat, reminding us that yoga is for every body, every age, and every stage of life. When young Black girls are given space to breathe, move, and listen to themselves, something powerful happens: they begin to trust their own rhythm. 🙌🏾

At Urban Asanas, accessibility isn’t just about the price of a class—it’s about making sure young people, especially young Black girls, can see themselves in this practice and know they belong here.

The mat is theirs too. And we’re proud to hold the door open. 🖤🧘🏾‍♀️

TGIF !!! Friday reminder: healing doesn’t mean rushing past what hurts. Sometimes it looks like acceptance. Sometimes it looks like grief. Sometimes it’s simply allowing yourself to feel what’s there without trying to fix it right away. ❤️‍🩹

If this week asked a lot of you, meet yourself with patience. Healing is not linear, and acceptance doesn’t mean the pain didn’t matter. It just means you’re giving yourself permission to keep moving forward with care.

Real talk. With all the things going on, we need to pump the brakes and get back to basics. Revisit your intentions and your goals, pushing through isn’t always easy but it’s possible when you force yourself to pause, reflect, and try a new pathway. Remember no journey is linear, there are SEVERAL ways to get to where you want to go. The only way out is through, but there is no excessive speed required.

Come meet us on the mat:

What do we do when everything feels like a lot? When you’re carrying things no one can see? We breathe, we move, and soften our grip on the weight we never named out loud. (Anddd relax your jaw)

It’s time that we name and make space for the unseen—your overwhelm, your quiet victories, your fatigue, your trying. Be honest with yourself and remember that the may accepts you as you are!

March may have started with some madness, but we are breathing in the freshness of a new day and a new month!! We are not at war, that was not our choice.

Safety is a birthright not a privilege and we need to center that in our global community. Despite the headlines, we show love, empathy, and care for one another!!

Today’s Super Soul Sunday class is sold out, but you can still come find your breath with Laith at 6pm this evening!!

The breath + beats of the street.

Jyll Hubbard-Salk decided to open Urban Asanas in her neighborhood of Crown Heights, Brooklyn as a space for people of all walks of life and backgrounds to come together, practice yoga and breathe.

Since 2012, Urban Asanas has cultivated a diverse and growing community, offering many styles of yoga and workshops to practitioners of all levels. In 2017, Jyll moved the studio three doors down to the corner of Nostrand Avenue and Sterling Place, expanding into a larger, beautiful space featuring bamboo floors and lots of natural light.

Urban Asanas continues to focus on building community and making yoga fun and accessible to all. The studio offers multiple donation based classes every week, free yoga mat rentals and discounted rates for seniors and high school students. Classes range from high intensity Power with a focus on alignment and building strength to 60 minute donation based Community classes offering a Vinyasa flow. Also on our weekly schedule are prenatal yoga and restorative, slow moving Yin classes. In addition, we organize monthly workshops bringing different forms of wellness, yoga and self care to our community.

Whether you are a seasoned yogi or have never tried yoga before, the doors of Urban Asanas are open and we look forward to meeting you.
