The miracle of #yoga is not that we get to #reshape the external worldto bend the laws of time and space. The #miracle of yoga is that we get to reshape our #perception of the external world. Where we once only perceived injuries, illness, and pain, we now see an #opportunity for #growth. Where we once perceived acrimony and discord in relationships, we are now able to experience deep #empathy. Where we once perceived darkness, evil, injustice, and vexing social issues, we now perceive the opportunity to #serve. Yoga is like a purifying fire that burns away false perceptions of the world and of ourselves to enable us to see #clearly. ~Darren Main #MsySouthPas #ChangeOurPerception #Yogalife #YogaLove #ChangeTheWayYouSeeTheWorldThroughYoga #BeYoga #BeLove

At MSY we have always been dedicated to our community, and have tried our best to support various worthy causes and organizations as well as schools and our hardworking police and firemen/women. We have shown our support by offering donations on a yearly basis to many of these causes and fundraisers and have tried to raise awareness to causes for years with our yoga for charity classes and our annual thanksgiving donation class. We are focused on bringing love and togethernes...s to the community and this is why we build this FB group here as well so you all can have a space to come together for some positivity and much needed yoga tips as if you were meeting at our studio. Just before this pandemic hit, our beloved Anne had been working on putting together a video for our website to showcase the various causes we have repeatedly supported over the years, most on an annual basis. Well, the video is ready and we wanted to share it with all of you. Sending strength and love and positive thoughts to all stay healthy and well, everyone! #msysouthpas #community #Seva #Charity #Donations #WorthyCauses #ThrivingCommunity #Neighbors #love #light #WeRiseByLiftingOthers #Yoga #YogaLife #BeYoga #BeKind #Belove See more

Dear Yogis Now more than ever, it is important for all of us to continue our practice and make time to turn inward and calm our body and mind during these challenging times. Our wonderful instructor, Roger Nolan, is generously offering his time for us to be able to provide you with some much needed calm and peace DAILY at 8am via ZOOM.... here is a message from Roger: "Hi, Everyone. For those of you who were able to join the online meditation today, my deepest gratitude. It was an extraordinarily heartfelt experience. We created a community of like-minded individuals coming together to be still and quiet with one another; to feel safe with one another; to learn from each other. This is the deepest meaning of "sangha" (a meditation community). Because this seems to be needed so much at this time, I will be offering a live, online meditation using the Zoom platform EVERY DAY AT 8:00 AM PDT. You will be receiving a daily notice like this that will allow you to join in. To join the meeting, simply click on this link this is the link (valid every day until April 1st). https://zoom.us/j/845573482 You will then be connected to the classroom meeting (perhaps to a "waiting room". I will be joining the meeting shortly before 8:00 am PDT. You can join using a PC, laptop, or any iPad or tablet device, or smart phone. As we move forward through this crisis, I will be offering more online resources - both live and pre-recorded - so that we can maintain our all-important meditation and yoga practices. I will keep you informed. I hope to see you tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8:00 am! Best wishes, Roger" We hope you take advantage of this opportunity to start your days every day in a peaceful and calming way. Please stay tuned for more updates. Wishing everyone health, love and peace #meditation #RemoteMeditation #ZoomCall #MsySouthpas #Yoga #Peace #InnerPeace #Calm #Wellness #covid_19 #StudioTemporarilyClosed #MeditationAndHomePracticeMoreImportantThanEver #Love #Light #Namaste

Dear Yogis, your health and safety is of the utmost importance to us. We have been monitoring the news of coronavirus (COVID-19) carefully and are following all guidelines provided by the California and Los Angeles County Departments of Public Health, and the CDC. Social distancing is very important to take seriously at this time and we encourage all of our members to take the necessary steps in your daily lives as it is better to be safe than sorry. As a mindful community, w...e feel it is imperative that we take the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect those who are most at risk. For those reasons, and based on the lastest announcements by mayor Eric Garcetti, we have decided to temporarily close MSY until April 1st, 2020, effective immediately. All active class packages and memberships will be extended by an additional 16 days. While we recognize that the news of COVID-19 can be stressful, now is the time to lean into our practice and our values. With more time available to us all, there is an opportunity for self-care. Meditation, reading, walks in nature and exercise can be nourishing and healing. We are working on offering you some online content to help you through this time and we will update you on that soon. Please continue to check your email inbox for news from us and follow us on FB and IG. Thank you for doing your part to support the health and wellness of our local and global communities! Please take good care of yourselves, eat and sleep well, check on your loved ones, your neighbors, the elderly, and consider supporting some of your favorite locally owned, small businesses in this very trying time for all of us. We appreciate your patience at this time. Since we will be closed, our assistant manager, Anne, will be working remotely only very limited hours. We hold space for each and every one of you as we know you must be facing your own mountains to climb. One thing that is becoming very clear during this time is how interconnected and interdependent we all are. More than ever, compassion, help and kindness towards each other is of utmost importance! Sending love, light & healing vibes for all of humanity.

Dear Yogis PLEASE NOTE: In efforts to minimize the spread of COVID-19, MSY will temporarily suspend the use of all shared props, including blankets, bolsters, blocks, straps and all Pilates props as well as mat rentals. Please bring your own mats and preferred props to class until further notice ( a beach towel can be a great tool to replace a blanket). Our knowledgeable and caring teachers will design creative and effective classes that do not require the use of props. ... Please also note that our retail stock for props and mats is currently very low so please make sure you don't come in without your own mat as there will be no exceptions to this temporary suspension. #Covid19Update #NoSharedprops #NoMatRentals #StayHealthy #StaySafe #BetterSafeThanSorry #Health #Wellness #Yoga

Keeping our community Healthy! Dear Yogis We realize there is a lot of concern about the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to assure our yoga family that we are doing everything we can to keep our community healthy and safe. For now, MSY will continue with the regular class schedule (with the exception of two canceled classed, ie Monday and Wednesday 8:45amBasics, effective immediately). Please check for schedule updates online as this is a fluid and volatile situation. MSY is commi...tted to the health and well being of our students and staff. The cleanliness of our facility has always been a priority. We have taken extra measures to clean and sanitize high traffic areas. We’re spraying with disinfectant spray all high traffic areas, have hand sanitizers available for use, have replaced our tea cups with disposable paper cups and have updated our cleaning process for each shift. Please know we have always sanitized and continue to sanitize all rental mats with our Matsana, mat cleaning machine, which uses UV light to kill bacteria and viruses and, according to our vendor, is 99.9% effective in doing so. The machine is available for use for your own mats as well, we will be waiving all usage fees until further notice. We suggest everyone visit these pages to stay informed: CDC https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html LA County Department of Public Health http://www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/ We will continue to monitor the situation closely. If there are any schedule changes or business hour changes, we will let everyone know. Please stay tuned. We send love and light and healing vibes to everyone affected by this pandemic and around the whole globe so we can move past this quickly and well. More than ever, compassion, help and kindness towards each other is of utmost importance! From us and from our entire MSY staff, THANK YOU for your mindfulness and attention to this matter. We would like to see everyone stay healthy, and the best way we do that is to do it together. ~Namaste #Covid19update #StayHealthy #FollowGuidelines #WashYourHands #LetsDoThisTogether

Happy #internationalwomensday to all the #phenomenal women! May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them! #womenempowerment #phenomenalwoman #MayaAngelou #love #light #inspiration

We are heartbroken over these tragic news of the loss of a legend, his sweet daughter and 7 other lives who all left too soon and too suddenly for all of us to process. There are no words to describe the void. Kobe gave the world so much already. He was an inspiration in so many ways, and he was just getting started in pouring all his love and talent into helping the next generations achieve their goals and dreams in life. Even worse are the news that his 13-year old daughter... and some of her teammates, who had their whole life ahead of them, were on board of the helicopter too, along with some of their family members and the pilot. An overall heart wrenching tragedy. We send love and light and strength to everyone’s families and loved ones who have been affected by this horrific accident. RIP MAMBA & GIGI, John, Keri, Alyssa, Christina, Sarah, Payton & Ara #24 #8 #Kobe #Legend #Inspiration #Lakers #LA #Mamba #Gigi #GoneTooSoon See more
