We made it to the end of the week, Urban Fam. 🤍
If you’re moving through a little funk, heaviness, or winter gloom, let this be your reminder: you are still loved. Deeply. Fully. Quietly.

Show up for yourself in whatever way you can today. A breath. A stretch. A moment of stillness. You’re doing your best and that’s enough!

Happy heavenly birthday to Audre Lorde and Toni Morrison! Two legendary architects of language, truth-tellers, freedom dreamers.

They taught us that our voices are not burdens, but bridges. That our stories are sacred and caring for ourselves is a radical act. Most of all, they taught us if there’s a book we want to read or a life we want to live, we must write it! Have a lovely Wednesday!!

Stepping into the Year of the Fire Horse with intention, clarity, and courage. 🔥🐎 Across cultures, today marks a powerful new beginning from Lunar New Year, Lent, the New Moon, to Ramadan. It’s all a reminder that time is cyclical, that we get to renew, reset, and rise again. However you’re observing or celebrating, we’re sending you positive energy and expansive thoughts.

Join us tonight for our New Moon Sound Bath to start this chapter grounded, open, and aligned.

Your life doesn’t start when you “fix” yourself. It’s happening right now while in the healing, the unlearning, the in-between. There is no magical version of you waiting on the other side of perfection. You are not a before-and-after project. You are a becoming.
Don’t postpone joy waiting to be perfect. Live it now.

Today we’re celebrating love in all its forms: romantic, platonic, ancestral, communal, and most importantly, the love you extend to yourself.

At the studio, love looks like showing up for your practice even when it’s hard. It looks like choosing rest over grind. It looks like community members holding space for one another, breath by breath.

Love isn’t just roses and romance. It’s boundaries. It’s healing. It’s accountability. It’s softness. It’s joy. 🫶🏾

Galentine’s but make it expansive 💐✨ It’s about energy. It’s about softness and strength. It’s about the friends who hype you up, hold you down, and send the “you got this” text right on time.

Galentine’s is for the community that loves loudly.
For the ones who show up.
For the chosen family.
For the joy-makers.

Regardless of identity, today is a good excuse to celebrate your people 💘

Real talk: please, please take care of your mental health.
This time of year can feel heavy between the cold, the darkness, the financial stretch, and the emotional fatigue. Seasonal depression is real, and so is the pressure so many of us are carrying quietly.

Let today be your reminder that you don’t have to push through it alone. Check in with someone you trust! Come back to your breath, your body, and the people that help you feel held.

Today’s message?? Don’t play yourself and don’t sell yourself short.
Everything you’re dreaming of? You already carry the seed of it within you. The path opens when you decide you’re worthy of walking it.

On and off the mat, self-belief is the practice. That is where you find your authentic self. Root in your power. Rise in your purpose. You’ve got this—fully. 💛🧘🏾‍♀️✨

We are all America. ’s message last night was simple but powerful: love is stronger than anything that tries to divide us. ❤️‍🔥

And in this Black History Month, that reminder lands even deeper as our cultures are linked. BHM calls us to honor our roots, our resilience, and the generations who chose love, unity, and liberation even in the face of everything built to break them.

Yoga teaches us the same truth: when we return to the breath, when we root into compassion, when we practice presence, we tap into a force that dissolves separation. We remember that we belong to one another.

So today, we honor the message:
Choose love. Lead with love. Return to love. Heart Forward.
On the mat, in community, and in the world!!!!

A special thank you to our certification teachers ( and ) whose wisdom, patience, and deep commitment made this journey possible. Your guidance shaped this cohort and helped cultivate the kind of learning environment that reflects everything Urban Asanas stands for.

Urban Asanas has always been one of one, and it’s a beautiful thing to nurture, uplift, and support a new generation of teachers who are committing to diversifying the practice and carrying this work forward with intention.

To our graduates: May you continue to root deeply, rise boldly, and teach from the truth of who you are. Heart Forward!! The community is better because of you. 🫶🏾💫

It’s Super Soul Sunday!! You owe no one an explanation for what you deserve. Stand firm in who you are, in what you need, and in the path that feels true to you. When you move through the world authentically (WITHOUT shrinking, WITHOUT apologizing) you create space for real peace, real joy, and real alignment.

May today remind you that honoring your truth is a sacred practice. Keep choosing yourself, boldly and without hesitation. 🤎✨

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.
