No partner necessary! This interactive and fun Free Friday will be a safe space to explore the yoga process with others.
No experience or partner required, although feel free to bring a friend or two (or three or four)!
All classes, workshops, and events beginning Thursday, 01.16.2020, will be held at MGY2, 409 East Main Street until further notice.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation during renovations.
MGY1 is home and we’ll miss sharing the space but we hope you’ll enjoy the different yet equally inviting feel of MGY2 during our temporary relocation.
The address is
409 East Main Street
(only a few blocks east of MGY1)
There is plenty of public parking! The lot to the east of the building and street parking are conveniently located. Our entrance is in the back of the building (north side). Main Street entrance is NOT used.
This should be a fun – temporary – move! We look forward to practicing with you at MGY2 while the original location gets the care and repair it needs to be restored to it’s best condition!
Again, thank you for your patience and understanding. As we learn of more details so shall you.
With love,
Amy, Arrie, Lou, & Glenda

Participants will be confident and comfortable practicing meditation on their own and participating in group meditations.
Gentle, Restorative, and Beginner classes are included (and encouraged) in the Meditation Foundation Course.
Walking is a natural process that often gets overlooked and disregarded. Morning Glory Yoga invites you downtown to explore the many benefits of stepping out. Enjoy a deeper look at the basic anatomy and mechanics of walking, as well as techniques for mental health applications of walking.
You can expect some lecture but a more practical experience will be emphasized. Self myofascial release techniques along with postural stretching will be used to explore the anatomy and mechanics of walking. Mindfulness, the practice of attending to the present moment, and The Way of Council, the practice of deep listening and sharing, will be used as tools to more deeply understand the mental and emotional effects of walking as meditation.
In addition, we welcome you to begin your day with our 9am All Level Hatha yoga class, complimentary with the registration of the the Walking Meditation.

It’s a tall order to describe Arrie. It wouldn’t be a stretch to call him knowledgeable about contemplative practices.
Arrie is a kind and knowledgeable teacher who is quick to offer his perspective without denying anyone else’s. He is fascinated by the human body and how it functions, injuries and aliments are a favorite topic of conversation. His training in transpersonal ecopsychology from Naropa University has taught him how to place individual experiences in larger contexts, thus allowing for deep compassionate engagement.
He teaches yoga at at Morning Glory Yoga Studio in Nacogdoches and has for nearly a decade. Arrie is a certified yoga teacher through The Living Yoga Program in Austin, Texas and is currently furthering his studies in yoga therapy.
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. Amy will lead each section guiding 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 for 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. <3
Morning Glory Yoga Studios is offering an Introduction to Yoga Foundation Course beginning January 02, 2020. 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 January Foundation Course.
