HOLIDAY BREAK ANNOUNCEMENT
HOLIDAY BREAK ANNOUNCEMENT
Hello and Happy Holidays from MGY!
As we approach one full year in our new location, let’s take a moment to reflect on the end of last December, the end of 2023. We united as a community to repair, remodel, relocate, and ritualize just in time for the 2024 New Year.
While there may have been some initial skepticism – rightly so, given the overwhelming tasks and limited time- when proposing this to my loving partner, David, he, as always, trusted my vision and faced the challenge with determination. Thank you, David, for your unwavering support in nurturing the growth of MGY and for tirelessly ensuring that our space functions beautifully.
Our dedicated teachers rallied together from the spontaneous moment when I said, “We’re moving! What do you think?!” Without your passion and resilience, I wouldn’t have had the courage to take such bold steps forward. Students, your adaptability and spirit have been remarkable. We have moved four times throughout MGY’s journey, proving that together we can achieve greatness.
Many of you dedicated countless hours of hard work, while others generously contributed financially, and some prepared and delivered food for our incredible volunteers. This spirit of togetherness, those long days, and selfless acts have truly shaped the heart of our studio.
Each of you who has shown up and practiced has contributed to the unique essence of our beloved space. Yoga is skill in action, and in our 18 years of collective practice, we’ve discovered the profound strength of our unity within the MGY commUNITY.
We love you MGY!
This December, the teachers at MGY invite you to enjoy a peaceful last week of the year. We encourage you to spend this time mostly at home, with the option to visit the studio when one of us is there. You can also sit on the porch, come inside for a quiet moment to yourself, and visit and pet Turkey. Above all, take this opportunity to relax and recharge. That’s what we’ll be doing!
- MGY will be closed for our Holiday Break from December 24, 2024 – January 01, 2025.
- Yoga Mala is January 01, 2025. Details to come.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, & Happy New Year from MGY.
Comfort and Joy to All!

Glenda Schmidt
In my twenties I had a routine yoga practice. When my two daughters were preschool, we did kids yoga. (I still have the book we used 33 years ago)
Then my nursing career came to the forefront of my focus.
Always wanting to share knowledge, I taught many different classes, birthing, sibling, CPR, newborn, pediatric and adult resuscitation.
Knowing the importance of relaxation,<
Around two decades ago I took a 600 hour massage therapist course.
As retirement from nursing approached, I decided to reignite my passion for yoga.
Honoring my nature to teach, I took a 200 hour yoga immersion teacher training at the Yoga Center in Asheville, North Carolina. During the immersion, restorative yoga and kids yoga resonated the most with me.
My background in medicine & massage helps with my ultimate goal, to empower people to relieve stress and restore a sense of calmness in their life.

Pañcha Mayas (Koshas)
11-12:30pm
We often go through life allowing the mind to take us here and there without really understanding why we do the things we do.
The Pañcha Mayas also referred to as the Koshas, are five layers that make us up as humans, although we may identify with these layers, we are not them. You see, the mind is the main cause of our feelings, emotions, suffering, happiness, and liberation. Instead of identifying with these different parts of us, we learn to see what we are not, and if we understand what we are NOT, we start to understand what we ARE – starting with the gross level and slowly moving to the subtle levels.
Join Tara to learn more about the Pañcha Maya (Kosha) Model. During this workshop we will explore the five layers and recite the Panchamaya Shloka by TKV Desikachar (inspired by Taittriya-upanisat), a powerful chant that connects us to the different layers of the self. The class will end with a meditative practice guiding us to move to that space of silence within.

Introduction to ĀYURVEDA + the Yogic Diet
11-12:30pm
The sister science to Yoga, Āyurveda (knowledge of life) teaches us how to stay healthy while preventing and curing disease with healthy diet and lifestyle practices.
Food is medicine if consumed correctly. What we eat today affects how we feel tomorrow, physically, mentally and emotionally. Have you ever felt sluggish the day after overindulging? I know I have.
Tara began studying nutrition in 1999 and working closely with an Āyurvedic doctor while following Ancient food principles for the last decade.
This course will discuss
Living a balanced Life, Digestive Fire, the Gunas, Daily Practices & the Yogic Diet and our link to nature using this ancient wisdom.
“When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need.” ~ Ayurvedic proverb
Throughout the week, you’re welcome to enjoy the yoga studio during business hours. We have a lovely parlor and front porch to enjoy reading, tea, conversation, and/or the simple pleasure of just being. We’ll schedule a coffee date and lunch date to gather as a group on Monday & Wednesday.

PLANTING SEEDS OF MANIFESTATIONS
PLANTING SEEDS OF MANIFESTATIONS
Cacao ceremonies are often held as rituals for spiritual exploration and healing, traditionally associated with indigenous cultures of Central and South America. In these rituals, cacao is consumed in a ceremonial context, believed to open the heart and facilitate deeper connections with oneself, others, and the universe. The act of planting manifestations during a cacao ceremony involves imbuing intentions or desires into flower seeds, symbolizing the growth and fruition of those intentions over time.
Cacao opens up space for emotional healing, mental clarity, spiritual connection and becoming aligned with your intentions. Deepening the well for reflections on where you may be preventing your abundance and prosperity from manifesting, cacao is a gentle guide that will help you navigate those waters. We invite you to join us as we create a sacred space for exploration of blockages so that you can focus your intention and visualize that which you want to manifest for the coming year. Please bring a journal, writing utensil, tumbler filled with water and an open mind & heart giving trust to the lovely and warm guidance of the spirit of cacao.
Here’s how the process might unfold:
- Setting Intentions: Participants in the ceremony would begin by setting their intentions or manifestations. These could be personal goals, desires, or areas of life where they seek growth and transformation.
- Connection with Cacao: Cacao is often seen as a sacred plant with spiritual properties. Participants may meditate on their intentions while holding or consuming cacao, focusing on the energy and symbolism of the plant.
- Planting Seeds or Plants: Depending on the resources and setup of the ceremony, participants may physically plant seeds or small cacao plants as a symbolic representation of their intentions taking root and growing over time. Alternatively, they may simply visualize the act of planting in their minds.
- Ceremonial Rituals: The act of planting manifestations may be accompanied by specific rituals, chants, prayers, or other ceremonial practices depending on the cultural context and beliefs of the participants.
- Nurturing and Care: Just as a plant needs nurturing and care to grow, participants are encouraged to nurture their intentions through consistent effort and mindfulness in their daily lives.
- Reflection and Integration: As the cacao plant grows or as participants reflect on the symbolic act of planting, they may revisit their intentions, assess their progress, and make adjustments as needed.
- Harvesting Fruits: As the cacao plant matures and eventually bears fruit, this can be seen as a metaphor for the fruition of intentions or manifestations in the participants’ lives.
- Gratitude and Celebration: Finally, participants may express gratitude for the growth and transformation they’ve experienced, celebrating the manifestation of their intentions and the journey they’ve undertaken.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness and significance of such ceremonies depend on the beliefs and practices of the individuals involved. While some may find deep spiritual meaning in these rituals, others may view them more as symbolic gestures or psychological tools for personal growth and reflection.
- Planting seeds of manifestations is a symbolic practice often used in various spiritual and personal growth contexts. Here’s how you can engage in this practice:
- Clarify Your Intentions: Before you start, take some time to clarify what you want to manifest in your life. These could be goals, desires, qualities you want to cultivate, or changes you want to see.
- Select Seeds: Choose seeds that symbolize your intentions. For example, if you’re seeking abundance, you might choose seeds of a fruit-bearing plant. If you’re focusing on inner peace, you might choose seeds of a calming herb.
- Prepare Your Space: Find a quiet and sacred space where you can focus on your intentions. This could be indoors or outdoors, depending on your preference and the type of seeds you’re planting.
- Set Your Intention: Hold the seeds in your hands and infuse them with your intentions. Visualize your desires coming to fruition as you hold the seeds.
- Plant the Seeds: Find a suitable spot to plant the seeds. As you plant them, imagine you’re planting the seeds of your intentions into the fertile soil of your life.
- Water and Nurture: Just like seeds need water and care to grow, your intentions need attention and nurturing. Commit to taking consistent action towards your goals and tending to your inner growth.
- Trust the Process: Understand that growth takes time. Have faith that your intentions will manifest in due time, and trust in the natural process of growth and transformation.
- Monitor and Adjust: Keep an eye on your seeds as they grow. Pay attention to any signs or synchronicities that may indicate progress. Be open to adjusting your approach if necessary.
- Express Gratitude: Cultivate a sense of gratitude for the blessings and opportunities that come your way as you work towards your intentions. Gratitude amplifies the energy of manifestation.
- Celebrate the Harvest: When your seeds bear fruit, celebrate your achievements and the manifestation of your intentions. Reflect on how far you’ve come and set new intentions for the next phase of your journey.
Remember, planting seeds of manifestations is a symbolic practice that can serve as a powerful reminder of your intentions and goals. It’s not about magical thinking but about aligning your thoughts, actions, and energy towards creating the life you desire.
A sacred cacao ceremony can be a powerful ritual for manifesting your dreams. As you sip a ceremonial cacao elixir in a sacred space, the magic of cacao opens up new possibilities within you. Whether you desire authentic love, financial abundance, or peaceful joy, this intentional practice connects you to universal flow and higher vibrations. By combining focused intention with the uplifting energy of cacao, this ritual provides an incredible opportunity to unlock your limitless potential.

TO TELL THE TRUTH
TO TELL THE TRUTH
On the 2nd Wednesday of each month, Jayne will be facilitating a “To Tell You the Truth” guided meditation. This meditation will begin with a brief discussion about our emotional body and the powerful influences it has in how we make decisions, where we hold ourselves back, and why we struggle trusting our truth.
What this meditation is:
- Observing and allowing our emotions to show up in a natural and organic way.
- Being fully present to what arises with compassion and non-judgment.
- A practice of releasing attachment to difficult emotions and noticing what shows up in its place.
What this meditation is not:
- This meditation is not group therapy.
- We will not be processing nor exploring the “why” behind our present emotions.
This guided meditation is for those who struggle with:
- People pleasing
- Fear of rejection
- Abandonment
- Lack of self-worth and value
- Unable to speak their truth in relationships
- Trusting their own inner wisdom and guidance
How you will benefit from this meditation:
- Reconnection to yourself
- Release of harbored energy
- Feelings of lightness and emotional regulation
- Greater capacity for creativity and inspiration
- Deeper self-awareness and sense of agency
- Returning to your own sense of strength, worth, and value
