In many traditions it is believed that it takes 40 days to make or break a habit. If you do something for 40 days straight you can forge new neural pathways and “fill in” old, outdated ones.
What have you always wanted to create in your life? What patterns aren't working for you anymore? Are you ready to change?
These questions apply to your whole life, however, yoga is one place where we can manifest change rapidly.
We will do this together. You make the commitment to forty days of yoga and we will give you a special unlimited pass to help you. You can come to any class on our schedule. It doesn't have to be the same class or time, just show up.
There is no better time to put this ancient teaching to the test.
no extensions ~ no refunds ~ no going back
Available: The entire month of January 12' ONLY!!

Lila 101
a workshop on play!
with Emily Burton
>>Click to view the flyer
The Sanskrit word Lila translates to “Divine Play&8221;. Yoga teaches us that the Universe is a result of the spontaneous nature of the divine. Life can get heavy and often times we take ourselves way too seriously. How can we use the idea of Lila to infuse our practice?
Come out for a playful and spontaneous afternoon of yoga. If life and even your practice on the mat has become way too rigid, this is the class for you! Tap in to your inner child with a divinely expressive day of asana, chanting, and possibly some surprises! Join us in this exploration of the playful side of yoga; inversions, arm balances, and yoga free-style.
Let ’s enjoy our time together on the mat and see what happens when we let the spirit of divine play flow through us!
All levels are welcome to attend.
Time: 2:00 – 4:00 PM
Cost: $30.00
Bring a friend and its 2 for $50!

Partner Yoga
a Valentine's celebration!
with Rebecca & Anthony Benenati
>>Click to view the flyer
The late Yogi Bhajan once said, "relationships are the highest form of yoga". We are constantly seeking a balance within each relationship much the same way we seek it in a pose. Our poses are different from each practice to the next much the same way our partners are different every day. We learn when to push and when to accept, when to play the edge and when to back down. We don't have to win each moment.This awareness comes from practice.
Rebecca and Anthony will lead this very fun, loving, and playful practice that includes asana, restorative poses, massage techniques, meditation and Valentine's treats to eat!
All couples are welcome to attend.
Time: 6:00 – 8:00 PM
Cost: $50 per couple or
$45 if you register before Feb 7!
February 17 – 19

Discover how playful and open-hearted yoga can be!
City Yoga is pleased to welcome back Rod Stryker, founder of ParaYoga® and one of the country's most knowledgeable and inspiring yoga and meditation teachers, as he leads a weekend intensive based on his best selling book, The Four Desires: Creating a Life of Purpose, Prosperity, Happiness, and Freedom. Rod will also lead a ParaYoga master class.
The Four Desires is nothing less than a roadmap to achieving your most fulfilled life, a process that teaches you how to embody and share with the world your own unique expression of yoga's most essential teachings, namely auspiciousness—a life of happiness and success. In short, this is a weekend that will empower you to fulfill your destiny.
Throughout the weekend, Rod will guide you through a step-by-step process to uncover your soul's unique purpose (dharma) and unlock your capacity to achieve it at every level. You will also delve into yogic science for manifesting intention, learn to cultivate intuition, and undo unconscious patterns that sabotage fulfillment. Rod will guide you through journaling and self-inquiry exercises, meditation, as well as some asana, pranayama, and Yoga Nidra (yoga's systematic approach to complete relaxation) practices.
This is a deep and life-changing event, a yoga training like no other, led by a master guide and practitioner.
