Karen Flannery and Brendan Gibbons opened Urban Souls one year ago and cater to all lifestyles. They have an array of yoga classes that range from Urban Warriors, a strong, challenging flow, to slower, gentler classes such as Slow Groove or Evening Chill. There’s Yin-Scape, too, and for relaxation, Urban Oasis offers restorative.

They offer 30-minute meditation classes; patrons can pop in for a mindfulness break, even in work or street clothes. They also offer alternative movement classes and sound healing. In all classes, a practical teaching methodology and down-to-earth staff create a welcoming community vibe.
