New Year, New Studio Space!

Mumma Magma Yoga is excited to announce that in 2026 we are partnering with The Loft Studios to bring you more classes, workshops, and events!

Starting in February we'll be hosting our first workshop of the year, and in early May you'll be able to hop into yoga classes on both Monday and Friday. So keep your eyes peeled for updates, new classes, and how you can register!

The Loft is a gorgeous, creative space created by Cheryl Guay, her husband Trav, and daughter Faith. Here is what Cheryl has to say about the creation of this space:

"After many years in the corporate world, I felt a strong pull to slow down and reconnect with myself. Through time spent creating, gardening, and embracing quieter moments, I rediscovered the joy and grounding that come from working with your hands and being present.

That journey led me to create The Loft Studios — a welcoming space designed to bring people together through creativity, movement, and shared experiences. The studio is rooted in a sense of community, offering a place where people of all backgrounds and experience levels can gather, explore, and feel inspired alongside one another."

I am so grateful to Cheryl for this opportunity and can't wait to work with her to bring you more opportunities for movement, creativity, and connection.

To check out all that The Loft has to offer, head on over to Cheryl's website: https://theloftstudios.ca/

Chakra Balancing Workshop ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

February is your first opportunity of the year to hop into a workshop with MMY, my friends!

Come and join me for an afternoon of tuning into the subtle body and learning how you can bring more balance and equilibrium to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of your being.

The Chakras are the energetic centres of the body that link the subtle with the physical and when they are blocked, unbalanced, or out of alignment, they can affect our mental, physical, and emotional health.

In this three-hour workshop you will learn about each chakra, its properties, as well as some simple yoga asanas (poses), mantras (sounds), and mudras (hand gestures) to help bring each one back into balance.

So if you want to start your year off right and bring your whole self back into balance, I hope you'll consider joining me in either Mill Bay or Esquimalt.

Mill Bay
The Loft Studios
Feb 12
11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Esquimalt

Feb 23
2:30 - 5:30 p.m.

January Horoscopes - Radical Self Acceptance

Happy New Year, my friends!

If you don't receive my monthly newsletter, you might not know that I write a monthly horoscope column. I've been writing these horoscopes for over 15 years, and they bring me much joy to put together.

This month, the universe is asking us to do a little last minute house keeping before we enter fully into the Year of the Horse. This means accepting and loving ALL aspects of who we are and intentionally letting go of patterns and behaviours that hold us back or keep us from being who we know ourselves to be at our core.

If you want to find out what's happening for your sign throughout January, click the link below. I hope you find the information useful and that it resonates with your innermost knowing.

Much love,
Tamu

The new year encourages self-acceptance and compassion, urging individuals to shed outdated aspects of themselves. Each zodiac sign reflects a unique journey for January 2026, emphasizing introspec…

❣Gratitude Post🙏

2025 was a year of change and growth over here at MMY. Though I didn't achieve all the goals I had set for myself, there was so much magic that happened and it was a year that showed me that all the hard work I've put in is paying off and that this dream I have of sharing inclusive, welcoming, and accessible yoga is in alignment with my highest good and is the path I am meant to walk.

But none of it could have happened without all of you. You are the reason I show up everyday. With each class my goal is to help you find a practice that brings you in tune with your body, helps you find greater physical and mental health and face the world and its challenges with strength, tenacity, and grace.

Sometimes it's hard to see past the next lesson plan, or to lift my gaze from immediate goals to see the beauty of this community, but you are always showing up and reminding me. This past holiday season was no exception. The outpouring of love and support that you all showed me was both a healing salve and a great big log added to the fire of my intention.

So I decided to take all the cards that you gifted me and make a collage. I arranged them so that they could be opened any time I need inspiration or a reminder that I am on the right path. This collage now hangs in my office where I can see it whenever I need a reminder to keep going.

Thank you so much for being here, for supporting me and MMY, and for sharing what your practice means to you. I am so excited to see what 2026 has in store.

Much love,
Tamu

Happy Solstice, beautiful souls!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BWecbdEA7/

“This is the solstice,
the still point of the sun,
its cusp and midnight,
the year’s threshold and unlocking,
where the past lets go of
and becomes the future;
the place of caught breath,
the door of a vanished house left ajar . . . “

~ Margaret Atwood, “Shapeshifters in Winter” from Eating Fire: Selected Poetry 1965-1995

🖤🌞🖤

Note: Think of Winter Solstice as a period of time.

In 2025, The *longest night* was Saturday, December 20th.

The *shortest day* is today, Sunday, December 21st.

And — with the sunrise on the morning of December 22nd, the daylight will nearly imperceptibly begin to increase.

It is likely that the Winter Solstice observance of our ancient ancestors included the three day time period when the “sun stands still,” which by the Gregorian calendar is December 20th, 21st, and 22nd.

I'm wearing this pendant to this afternoon's 2025 Winter Solstice Gathering because it's the last thing my mom gave me when she was still alive.

I wish she could share in this community, she would have loved you all so much. She was full of fire, but also the most caring person I have ever met. She was willing to go deep, but had the most amazing cackle.

She is with me today and will be dancing with us as we move, breathe, and play.

See you soon, my friends.

Also, this rainbow appeared just as we are heading out the door!

Today, Dec 19, was the last yoga class of 2025, my friends. This year has been crazy busy, but in such a good way. Classes have grown, I've hosted more workshops and the annual MMY retreat, you've volunteered to be part of a photoshoot that allowed me to launch a yoga calendar, together we walked the TC 10K, and so much more.

As the year comes to a close I am reflecting on how lucky I am to have this opportunity to do what I love and to have all of you in my life. This little community is growing into something truly special. I am always blown away by your commitment to yourselves, your practice, and to the love and kindness that you show up with each and every day.

To me, this is yoga. We can't control or change what is happening in the world, but we can commit to personal growth, to love and compassion, and to caring for others in our community.

This past two weeks has been so special. Thank you all so much for your kind and thoughtful gifts and cards, but also for your heartfelt words, hugs, laughter, and true connection. It fills my heart to hear the impact that yoga has had on your life, whether physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually, and I am honored to be able to bring you a moment of peace in your day or your week.

Thank you so much for being here. I look forward to more wonderful yoga adventures in 2026.

Have a relaxing and regenerative holiday season!

Love,
Tamu
