URBAN LILY YOGA TO OPEN FEBRUARY 1ST
January, 2010 – Urban Lily Yoga “Blossom where you’re grounded”©, the yoga wellness center of the Valley, will open to the public on February 1st in Sherman Oaks. Offering its powerful blend of traditional and progressive yogic practices, with a philosophy that is both contemporary and timeless, Urban Lily Yoga offers yoga as it is meant to be, a practice that uncovers your true nature.
Urban Lily Yoga is the “baby” of Elinore Cohen, an established yoga teacher and former dancer. Elinore created Urban Lily Yoga with the hope that it will become a second home for her fellow teachers and students alike. She has brought together a community of inspiring and gifted teachers that “TEACH”, who are committed to students and their individual needs on the mat as well as the needs of the area’s yoga community.
Urban Lily Yoga offers everything from the hatha yoga tradition including classical yoga in the iyengar tradition, ashtanga, yoga blend, anusara-inspired flow, hatha flow, CORE Fusion Flow, and our signature VINYASA Flow. In addition, there will be yoga for kids, pre & post-natal classes, gentle & therapeutics, restoratives, workshops, special events, and retreats.
Elinore sees the journey within as the breath creating a vehicle for the body, and the body creating a vehicle for the mind to still itself, and transform itself. It is from the yoga practice that the individual learns “practice” is the best of all instructions. Her own classes blend Iyengar fundamentals and restorative postures with the aids of props, along side a strong Ashtanga influence of flow and feel for a synergistic, yet mindful vinyasa flow.
With over twenty years dance experience in the styles of ballet, lyrical, modern, and jazz, Elinore’s professional ballet career spanned many regional and state ballet companies. After several injuries and health concerns Elinore turned to yoga to rehabilitate both her body and mind. After completing her 200 hr. plus an additional 300 hr. teacher trainings at YogaWorks in Santa Monica, Elinore went on to teach at YogaWorks, LYFE Yoga Center, Tru Yoga, and Rising Lotus Yoga. In addition she completed her Yoga Ed. teacher training and taught the Yoga Ed. program at its flagship school – the Accelerated School in South Central LA – to children in grades K-12.
