Morning Glory Yoga Studios is offering a new Introduction to Yoga Foundation Course beginning February 05
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the many health benefits of yoga while gaining a foundation upon which to build a practice. The course is appropriate for those new to yoga as well as those who wish to refresh and refine their relationship with the practice.
Yoga builds strength and flexibility through physical postures while helping students understand individual stressors through techniques that include mindfulness, breath, and gaze. Through a regular yoga practice, awareness and quality of one’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health are improved. Students will learn basic yoga postures, proper alignment and breath work, and be introduced to basic meditation techniques.
This class is suitable for students of various ages although it is geared towards adults; no children under the age of sixteen please. The class is also suitable for people of various fitness levels. Poses will be modified to meet individual needs. Students should wear comfortable, moveable clothes and will remove their shoes during the class. A yoga mat is recommended but not required.
Gentle, Restorative, and Beginner classes are included (and encouraged) in the February Foundation Course.
- Dates: February 05 – February 28, 2019
- Day/Time: Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:00 – 8:15 pm
- Place: MGY2, 409 East Main St.
- Instructors: Arrie Tucker & Amy Sanford

We hope you had a very Merry Christmas
and are enjoying the holidays
while sharing quality time with friends and family.
MGYS invites you to practice personal care from your mat as we welcome in the New Year, 2019. Please see the New Year’s Eve class and New Year’s Day event that our MGYS teachers have planned. We hope you’ll join us in bidding farewell to 2018 and welcoming 2019 from your mat in downtown Nacogdoches at our original location, MGY1, 207 East Main Street.
DECEMBER 31ST – New Year’s Eve 9:00 am Lou at MGY1
This is an All Level Hatha Yoga class. We offer a space to practice and take time to reflect on 2018, breathe in the present moment, and look forward to new opportunities of 2019. The more the merrier at MGYS so come share the last day of 2018 with this amazing yoga community that you’re partially responsible for creating. Good work!
JANUARY 1ST – Yoga Mala 10:00 am
Join MGYS on New Years Day at 10:00 am for the 6th Annual Yoga Mala, 108 Sun Salutations, a ceremony to mark a community-wide transition that has become a tradition here at MGYS.
The new calendar year is a great reason to investigate one’s life (thoughts, habit patterns, behaviors, and relationships). The purpose of this ceremony is to create a space for this exploration as well as to offer a structural model for productive investigation.
The Salutations will be broken down into 4 sets of 27 with a meditative pause between each. The leader of each section will lead the first few salutations to set the rhythm. Listen and try to stay together. This is intended to be a group project. 🙂
Students may practice all 108 Sun Salutations or a portion, choosing to rest while remaining focused.
We will have an area to place flowers, candles, and special objects. If you have something you’d like to contribute, a meaningful artifact, please bring it to the ceremony and retrieve after.
Let’s begin 2019 together! Following the Mala, we’ll have light refreshments, traditional dishes, and a toast to the New Year. Please join in on the celebration.
Please expect to be at the studio from 10:00 am – 12:30 pm.

Join Arrie at 5:30pm on Friday, September 21
at MGY2 for a special yoga class and meditation.
The autumnal equinox, the transition between summer and fall, is a great time to start or deepen a meditation practice. Much like the trees begin to drop their leaves in the fall, this meditation will help you to let go of things that will not serve you in the coming season.
Place: MGY2 409 East Main
Time: 5:30pm
Instructor: Arrie
Cost: FREE (donations welcome)
**The meditation will follow an hour-long physical practice so if you’d like to stay after and participate please plan for an additional 30 minutes.
