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

Thanks Weather! Saturday, 10.31.2015, 9am Hatha 1&2 Will Be Held.

It has been brought to our attention that, “Due to predictions of inclement weather, the Stephen F. Austin State University Homecoming parade scheduled for Saturday morning has been canceled.”

This means that we WILL have our Saturday 9am Halloween Hatha class after all. Kasey is VERY excited to teach so please don’t let the weather spook you from getting on your mat at MGYS!

Remember how especially lovely the space is on a rainy day? Exactly, see you on Saturday!

 

 

Friday, 10.23.2015, Happenings at MGYS

Hello Yogis!  This is my last week in Nacogdoches for 2015 and although I am looking forward to my studies in India I am already beginning to miss Morning Glory Yoga , which is to say, missing all of you.

If you have the evening free this Friday please join myself and the other MGYS Instructors for our Community Free Friday class at 5:30 followed by what is sure to be a good time as one of MGYS’s newest teachers and talented musician, Kasey Lansdale, performs.  Admission to the concert is free, donations for my trip and support of MGYS are welcomed, encouraged, and greatly appreciated.

We hope to see you on the mat at 5:30 and/or at 7pm for Kasey Lansdale’s Benefit Performance for MGYS and Amy to India.

In Gratitude,

Amy Sanford <3
