Join us at 9:00 am on December 24th
for a Christmas Eve Practice at MGYS.
With breath and presence, give and receive gifts of energetic exchange as we move through an All Level asana practice.
Please arrive a little early for extra time to spread merriment, be comforted, comfort, be grateful, and/or sit in observation of the special occasion. This will be a sweet opportunity to connect with with the many who practice at MGYS.
See you on the mat! Holiday cheer, goodwill, and other accoutrement welcome!
This will be our last practice at the studio before we briefly part for holiday break. Practice at home during the holidays (share with your family) — we certainly will! Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas!
Please see our modified Holiday Schedule below and plan to attend!

Wishing YOU and YOURS a Merry, Merry Christmas and Happy, Happy New Year!
Thank you for practicing at MGYS day in and day out, on and off the mat. The practice of Yoga truly is the gift that keeps on giving and we want to express our deepest gratitude for your choice to share such a gift with us, the teachers of MGYS.
We understand it’s not always easy to make it to the studio, to your mat, to the asana practice – we understand because – WE practice just like you, struggle just like you, overcome just like you, grow just like you, LOVE just like you, and we learn just. like. you. Your dedication is an inspiration and for this we say, “Thank you for being not only a student but a teacher, a fellow yogi, and a gift.”
We love you and are honored to be your teachers and share the journey! Namaste.
Amy, Arrie, Sherri, Eralda, Kasey, Debra, and Erin

It’s an extra special Saturday tomorrow because Sherri is teaching! Although she teaches many amazing classes throughout the week, Sherri rarely has the weekend free to teach at MGYS. You may not know this about her but in addition to being a certified yoga instructor she’s a bad#$! violist in the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra. Her schedule outside of the studio is pretty full BUT this weekend is the one exception in November and luckily she wants to share it with you — so please, do yourself a favor and go.to.class. 🙂
When I think of our team of teachers and their conduct both at MGYS and within our Nacogdoches community I am inspired to be a better person. We truly have an eclectic team of teachers at MGYS! Educated, experienced, caring, charismatic, intuitive, perceptive, receptive, and always willing and ready to teach from a place of compassion. Ready to teach YOU, our dedicated students of yoga – of life.
As Kasey said at the closing of one of the last classes I attended before leaving for India, “We are all in this together.” This has become one of my daily mantras.
Let’s practice, y’all. The lessons observed from the mat are accessible in our day to day lives. These lessons lend to our transformation and betterment as human beings.
Join Sherri and other MGYS Yogis on Saturday, won’t you? It’s THE place to be on Saturday am in Nacogdoches. <3

Hi all!
The sun has once again been unveiled from behind the clouds after a three day abduction which means Erin and I will have a good chance of a hot shower tonight! Ah, what a treat!
I’m going on the second week of practice and everyday still seems like the first, each day presenting new experiences but no sign of continuity. It’s as if I’ve stepped on a mat made of shredded pieces of a complete story, each day fumbling through the various shapes hoping to discover just the right edges and contour. Pulling and pushing, inhaling and exhaling, lengthening and contracting, I rumage through the pieces of this abstract self. The practice is humbling and revealing. (more…)
