🧡 This is the heart behind Mats & Meals

These are the moments that make Move Your Body Yoga… Move Your Body Yoga.
Our community showed up and our first Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank bin is already filling up after the very first weekend. That doesn’t happen without people who care.

Today we want to say thank you to for donating with such generosity and joy. Your gifts help us serve families right here in Baton Rouge.

As we keep collecting through November 16, we also want to be thoughtful about how we give. One of our members, Dr. Ashlyn Harrison (Executive Director, The Walls Project), reminded us to donate with compassion and cultural awareness. When you give, think variety, think nourishment, think dignity. 

This is yoga off the mat.

This is Ahimsa — compassion in action, choosing to do no harm, choosing to care.
We move, we breathe, and we give so someone else’s table can be full.

🗓️ Free community classes every Saturday + Sunday • Nov 1–16

🎟️ Your free class pass = a non-perishable food item

📦 Goal: Fill multiple bins for the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank.

Thank you for helping us love our city well.
🧡 Move. Breathe. Glow. Always.

Join us every Saturday and Sunday, November 1 through November 16 for a free Class Pass supporting the greater Baton Rouge food bank. Bring a non-perishable food item and join us on the yoga mat for community breath, work movement mindfulness and rest.

We know that food insecurity can happen to anyone and at any time. We are doing our part to support community. We invite you to join us.

Our first Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank bins are already full after just one weekend of Mats & Meals, and our heart is overflowing with gratitude.

As we continue this journey through November, we are reminded of the very first limb of yoga — the Yamas, and within them, Ahimsa, which means non-harming and compassion in action.

Ahimsa isn’t just about avoiding harm — it’s about intentionally choosing kindness.
It’s about creating space where everyone feels seen, supported, and cared for.

That’s exactly what Mats & Meals is about — using our practice to do good beyond the mat, to nourish others, and to live yoga through service.

🧡 Move. Breathe. Glow. Always.

🧡 MATS & MEALS

Move with Grace. Give with Heart.

This November, we’re bringing purpose to the mat.

Join us for Mats & Meals — a community initiative supporting the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank.

🗓️ Community Classes
Every Saturday + Sunday, November 1–16

🧘‍♀️ Non-members: Bring a non-perishable food item as your free class pass.

💛 Members: Use your refer-a-friend code and both bring a food donation.

All classes are beginner-friendly and open to all levels — you don’t have to be flexible to do yoga 😉 just open to showing up and moving your body.

If you can’t attend class but still want to give, you can scan the QR code in the studio or use the link in our bio to make a monetary donation directly to the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank.

Food insecurity can touch anyone, at any time. This is our way of giving back — helping nourish our community while caring for our own health and wellness through movement and breath.

When we move together, we create change — on and off the mat. Let’s fill those boxes and fill some hearts, too.

🧡 Move. Breathe. Glow. Always.

💕 Move for the Cure at Move Your Body Yoga

This past Saturday, our community came together on the mat for a powerful and heartfelt practice — Move for the Cure. We moved in honor of those who have bravely faced breast cancer, for the survivors who continue to inspire us, and in remembrance of the beautiful lives lost.

Before movement even began, we shared stories — of family, friends, and loved ones who’ve been impacted. We acknowledged that breast cancer touches both women and men, and we flowed with that awareness in our hearts.

Together, we moved, breathed, and released — supported by a girl-powered playlist that carried us through sweat, stillness, and emotion.

Move Your Body Yoga is proud to have made a donation to Mary Byrd Perkins Cancer Center, supporting their continued work for patients, survivors, and families.

Because when we move together, we heal together. 💗

✨ Autumn Pause Sound Bath ✨

Last week’s Sound Bath was a beautiful evening of calm, reflection, and release. Thank you to Tanya Gauthier for guiding us through such a grounding and peaceful session — her energy truly helped us embrace the stillness of the season.

We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us in community and made space for rest and renewal. 🍂

Here are a few moments from the evening at Move Your Body Yoga.

We’ve been filling this mirror one thought at a time — each card pulled after class, each word shared, each moment of reflection. Now it’s overflowing with light and intention. 🌿

Be bathed in positive thoughts today and always. Never drift too far from speaking kindly to yourself — in your mind, your words, your actions. Every thought you send yourself is a message. Make it one that lifts you.

Move for the Cure 💗

This Saturday at 9 AM, we’re rolling out our mats and showing up in pink — all in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This class is about more than movement. It’s about honoring strength, supporting those in the fight, and remembering every life touched by breast cancer — men and women alike.

Whether you’re a survivor, supporting someone you love, or simply standing in solidarity, we invite you to join us for a morning of mindful movement, hope, and community.

Reserve your spot! This is a community class. Join free and if you wish to donate, please feel free to do so.

✨ Celebrating Mrs. Virginia — 80 Years Strong ✨

This weekend, I had the honor of celebrating with one of our beloved founding members, Mrs. Virginia, as she turned 80 years young! Surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, the room was overflowing with love, laughter, and legacy — and let me tell you, Mrs. Virginia owned that dance floor! 💃🏽

As friends and family gathered around, greeting one another and sharing stories, Mrs. Virginia told everyone how she first joined Move Your Body Yoga. She said she saw us on TV when we introduced the studio to the community, decided to drive over, climbed the stairs, and when I greeted her at the door, she said, “I don’t know if I can do yoga.” I told her, “You just walked up those stairs — yes, you can. All bodies deserve to move.”

And she’s been moving ever since. Mrs. Virginia practices chair yoga three times a week (often alongside her granddaughter), has joined our studio challenges, built incredible strength, and even holds a five-minute plank!

Mrs. Virginia is more than an inspiration — she’s proof that movement, faith, and community keep us strong at every age. Happy 80th birthday, Mrs. Virginia. You hold together a beautiful family and an even stronger spirit. We absolutely love you here at Move Your Body Yoga. ❤️
