Stay OM Yoga (2026)

13/03/2023

Today I was reflecting a little on our online yoga studio, and the wonderful community that has sprung up around it.

Around the time my grandfather passed away in March of 2020, I was seized with an inspiration to share with others what he had shared with me regarding spiritual life.

As serendipity would have it, around the same time was putting together a collective of yoga teachers to lead online classes since in person studios were closing for the pandemic. The idea was to have an accessible online space open to one and all to keep up with spiritual practice.

At Stay OM Yoga, all the classes are entirely donation based as to remove all financial barriers to yoga practice and donations go directly to each teacher.
Annie was kind enough to give me three slots throughout the week.

Over time, attendance grew steadily as the interest for spirituality and yoga deepened in the collective cultural consciousness. Now, three years later we are host to a global community of committed practitioners about 800 people strong and counting! We haven’t missed a single Monday night gathering in three years!
Thank you all for participating in this community, for attending our live zoom classes religiously (pardon the pun) and for putting your spirituality first. We bow to each and every one of you!

In our three years, many teachers have shared their inspiration: tai chi, dance, art, yoga. You have each been integral to our journey! Thank you!

Some time in 2021, Annie passed the studio over to me so she could follow her inspiration into the Yosemite forest where she was to work on a peanut butter cook book. Classic Annie.

At that time, there were only two teachers left on the schedule: me and our Emily Anderson (pictured). Emily has been here from day one and has been the most consistent and constant presence on our schedule with her weekly nourishing Hatha classes. I have never met a more committed and soulful yoga teacher. Naturally we became partners in managing the studio; nothing would be as it is without her friendship and help. I am beyond grateful to you, Emily!

Happy 3 years and here’s to many more!

Meet Añjali:

“Hello beloved sangha community! I want to let you know I’m doing donation-based tarot card readings right now. ❤️

If you or someone you know is seeking guidance from the beyond or are curious about what it could offer you please feel free to schedule with me! It’s all done in the spirit of play but please know any info shared with me will be kept confidential.

A little background about me: I’ve been reading tarot for exactly 11 years last month. Over the years, I’ve had proper training in tarot, divination & ancestral veneration by an Iyalorisha Priestess of the Lucumí tradition and a Cuban Santera of the Lucumí tradition as well. I myself am from the Southern Italian Benedicaria folk magick and folk Catholic traditions. Even though it’s not my main spiritual practice anymore I still do incorporate some aspects into my daily life especially when it comes to reading tarot & divining. The reason why I’m offering this is because I truly want to serve the community in some way, it’s something I love doing, have lots of knowledge in and know could benefit others. I also feel quite solid in my spiritual practices and connection to Spirit which is essential.

Psychic and intuitive abilities are not one of the 8 occult powers (siddhis) laid out by Patanjali in the yoga sutras because it’s something we ALL have to one degree or another. There are just those of us who have developed and refined these abilities over time or even lifetimes (like any other trade), and is also sometimes passed down through the bloodline which is the case with me.
⁣

To schedule click the “Book a session w/me” button and it will take you to a calendar where you can reserve a time for us to meet. All readings will be done over zoom unless you’d like me to record it and send it to you later which likely won’t be as personal or thorough. The “love donation” links at the bottom of the link tree is where you can donate before or after the session if you please.

Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to message or email me as well! [email protected]

Every Friday night at 6pm PST we are hosting a prayer circle: 🌹 leads us in praying the rosary before discussing in a syncretic fashion all the intersections between Christian Mysticism and the other spiritual traditions of the world, particularly Ta**ra and Vedanta.

These sessions are a celebration of all things Goddess worship: we will discuss the parallels between the Virgin Mary and Maa Kaali. We will also explore literature from the Christian mystics of all denominations; for example, the Way of a Pilgrim, Evagrius' Chapters on Prayer (Praktikos) and the Philokalia from the Eastern Orthodox tradition, the Works of St John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila from the Catholic tradition and many more. In our first session (which you can watch on YouTube) we look at Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection's work "Practice of the Presence of God"

These classes are entirely donations based an open to the public. All are welcome to zoom in using our regular house link (link in bio).
And any donations can be sent to -daziani who is leading these sections.

We can summarize all spiritual teachings in the following sentence:
“keep your mind fixed unwaveringly on the Divine.”
That’s it. It’s as simple as that!
If you could do just this, you would free from all fear and from all forms of suffering, physical and mental. You will experience beauty and meaning in every moment.
But how do we do it?
To “keep your mind fixed unwaveringly on the divine”, you will require a physical regimen that will condition and purify the body for subtle perception. You will need to learn how to breathe properly to manage your vital life forces. And most of all you will need a meditation practice to purify the mind so that it it becomes stable and fixed upon the Divine. But more than this you will need a spiritual community of genuine seekers who are committed to walking the talk to share the life with you.

This community will inspire you to come to the mat every day for your sadhana, your spiritual practice (even on the days you don’t want to.) This community will keep you grounded and level headed as you navigate the storms of sadhana. This community will be your teacher, offering you guidance and a reference point for your sadhana through comparing your experience with others.

And so here at Stay Om Yoga, our mission as a virtual yoga studio is to provide you with inspiration, instruction and above all community for living a genuinely spiritual life. We are working to create opportunities every day for us to come together and practice. In spiritual life the key word is: practice, practice, practice. So let’s do it together!
All our classes throughout the week are donation based and you can send your exchanges directly to our instructors as you feel. But also, you are welcome to come to any and all of our classes on the house, as a guest, because this information will always be freely given to all.

Hand in hand, let us race towards the Divine!
For you are already That at your essence nature. All that is left for us now is to recognize that fact and make it manifest in each and every movement of life.

See you in class!

OM Tat Sat

MEET ANDROMEDA

Approaching holistic wellness and spirituality through the lens of vibration and the power of sound, Alexa (Andromeda) Lux Andromeda | Cosmic Siren] graciously guides groups through “sound bath” meditations, vocal activations, and educational well-shops. With a lifelong passion for singing, over 20 years of musical experience, a Bachelor’s in Music Performance, and a heart-compass locked squarely on love of the divine, pure musical magic pours forth into the spaces she holds. In order to intuitively respond to the present-moment energy of the group, her sound meditations are entirely improvised using crystal singing bowls, chimes, frame drum, wooden flute, harmonium, or whatever else inspires her. Most of all she loves weaving angelic vocals throughout, channeling primordial melodies and occasional spoken guidance. One sound meditation was described by an attendee as like “church without the talking”.

Happy New Year one and all!

Today is as good a day as any to begin or intensify your meditation practice.
Make a start now! Why wait? Every breath is a singularity, every moment offers you the possibility of leaving the past behind and living in a radically new way at this very instant!
Why not aspire to the Highest?
We will all of us do it together!
We will inspire each other in the thread and help one another. By Mother's grace, I will work to continue building the thread with resources, instruction and inspiration.
But once you get the basic idea, the most important thing is to get to it daily and regularly!

After all,

Yoga is meditation.
Meditation is the heart of a genuine spirituality.
Meditation is a highly precise science and a delicate art form.
ANYONE can master it.
Everyone should.
Meditation is not a sopoforic state of "zoning out".
It is a highly intellectually rigorous and active process of "doing philosophy", of investigating the subtlest dimensions of your own being and discerning for yourself the Truth.
There is no higher practice than this!

The Story of Yoga:
Upon the ocean of milk, Vishnu slumbers atop the great serpent, Ananta. One day, Vishnu became very hot and heavy. When he awoke, Ananta asked him “My Lord? What made you so heavy? How is it that you became so hot?”
“My dear Ananta! How can I describe it to you? In my dream I wandered into a far region of the cosmos and there I saw Lord Shiva dancing the Dance of Awakening, the Tandava. Such ecstasy! Such power! I was plunged into the deepest bliss and thereby I became enflamed and full of the weight of Everything.” said Vishnu.
“Can I too watch this dance?” Ananta asked with deep delight.
“Yes, certainly. But first I have a task for you. You are to incarnate as a human and restore the art of Sanskrit to its proper place. It has fallen by the wayside in the dreamworld of creation. How will people understand the subtlest spiritual truths without a language that is able to convey them? Go, Ananta. Restore Sanskrit and then you will, through the practice of austerity, have a vision of Shiva for yourself.”
Gladly Ananta accepted the task and incarnated into a baby that fell from the sky. It just so happened that at this time a pious devotee of Shiva was praying for a child. And lo and behold! One had fallen right in front of her! She named the child Patanjali, The Divinity (Anjali) that Fell (Pata) from the sky.
The young boy grew into a learned spiritual prodigy, devoting all of his time to the practice of austerities and the study of scripture. He remained focused on his task though many apsaras (nymphs) came to distract him, sent by the gods to sway Patanjali from his devout meditation.
And one day, the boy saw a vision of Shiva dancing the Tandava. From that moment on, the young boy became a Maharishi (Great Sage) and went on to write many books on Sanskrit grammar, Ayurveda (medicine) and Yoga. His magnum opus, the Yoga Sutra is the founding text of the Yoga school of Indian philosophy.

Hatha Yoga for Everybody and Every Body
with every Monday at 4:30pm pst
Come join our beloved Emily for a centering, grounding and nourishing practice focused around consistency. Let consistent practice be your anchor in times of transition (which is all times). Let the mat be your place of safety and strength. As you learn balance and poise in the mat, you manifest it in each encounter with your life off the mat. All you need to do is show up. Emily will take your hand and the practice will practice itself.

Also, the beauty of Emily’s Monday night practice is compounded by the fact that we gather in our zoom Sangha right after at 7pm pst. How beautiful to practice and move inward before coming together in spiritual community to discuss the subtle ideas of yoga philosophy.
Practice and philosophy are two sides of the same coin…and what is the substance out of which that coin is made?
Awareness.
The awareness that YOU are.

See you in class. Link in bio! You can send donations directly to Emily at her venmo: -t-a

Come join at a lovely, female-owned studio in Echo Park, Los Angeles on the 3rd of October for an immersive, heart-to-heart live satsangh! It has been a profound honour and joy getting together weekly on zoom and while we will continue to do that long into the future, we also wanted to offer some in-person opportunities! This will be a hybrid workshop so if you can’t come in person you can always tune in online. In any case, let us get together and sit in the vibration of a 9000 year old tradition as we explore the miraculous story of yogas evolution through the ages! OM Shantih Shantih Shantih

Once we learn to surrender to Life, miracles blossom forth with ever increasing abundance!
And one such miracle is our dear Emily returning to Stay Om yoga!
Our favorite yoga teacher is back to teaching classes here every Monday at 3:30pm Pacific.
Her classes are gentle and deep. With kind nourishment, Emily takes you into the very depths of a pose where you will meet yourself fully. Always emphasizing quality of breath and quality of consciousness over form while never neglecting precision and technique, Emily is the rare kind of yoga teacher who really “gets it”. In fact, if you just come and lie down and do no poses whatsoever, simply listening to Emily’s voice is enough to nourish the deepest dimensions of your Being.
Join Emily as she takes you into the heart of Yoga weekly.
Link is in bio!
Everyone is welcome 🙏
All our classes are donation based and you can support Emily via her venmo: -t-a
OM Shantih Shantih Shantih

When we are with other people, it becomes even more important that we stay present, spacious and open. How often is it that we find ourselves in a social setting only to revert to our conditioning, our unconscious patterns of responding to the world? How often do we revert to our carefully constructed social self, the unconscious pretense that so often smears the world with a superficiality, cutting of the freshness, beauty and magic of each moment. So often, we superimpose our concepts of ourselves, others and the world unto the moment and thereby cut off our connection to Beauty. We might end up taking everything too seriously or we might lose that quality of relaxed openness that makes for a meaningful experience of the moment. May you remember always that this a dream! You are allowed to relax into the grandeur and magic of it moment by moment. There is nothing you NEED to do, no one you NEED to be.
After all, we practice every day to stay open. We practice so that we may be deepened by silence, an inward silence that has nothing to do with how “noisy” the outside world is. See you in a class this week! OM peace peace peace.
