MY Museum needs your help! We're seeking donations of specific items for our children's Creation Station. We need: construction paper, school and office supplies, ribbon and yarn, wine corks, stickers, faux flowers, the cardboard tubes inside toilet and paper towel rolls, and bottle caps (no beverage residue, please).

It has been a busy start to the spring as we have welcomed local and visiting families on spring break the past several weeks. The staff at MY Museum has seen so many amazing projects made in our Creation Station and we could use your help restocking our materials. We accept donations any time the museum is open at 425 Washington Street in Downtown Old Monterey. Thank you!

The Feral Market is excited to carry the work of local artist Quinn Sedona, whose unique shadowboxes incorporate animal skulls, butterflies, and more. Come and see these and other fun and fascinating pieces by California artists at our shop at 261 Alvarado Street in Downtown Old Monterey.

After the Om Studios building at 631 Cass Street, Suite B in Downtown Old Monterey suffered severe storm damage, the entire studio will need to be closed while our landlord and property management company replace dry wall, flooring, baseboards, and parts of the roof throughout the space. (Please note that other businesses at 631 Cass Street are still open! Om Studios was the only space affected.)

Om Studios will continue to offer yoga and mat pilates classes off-site, but we will be closed for in-person barre and pilates until further notice. Our virtual, on-demand offerings will remain available throughout this time. We hope our studio will be back open in the next 2-3 weeks, and will give updates through social media.

All pilates monthly memberships will be paused; class card and yearly pass holders we can extend your expiration dates as needed. If you would like to pause your yoga/barre membership please don't hesitate to reach out by emailing us. We thank you for your support and patience.
