21 DAYS OF GRATITUDE

How it works:
  • Grab a Gratitude Card in the studio, print our PDF online, or use the IG story template to keep track!
  • Drop into any of the FREE virtual Meditation Classes. (Mon-Fri @ 7:30am)
  • Use our previously recorded meditations (on Vimeo, Instagram, SoundCloud, or YouTube).
  • You can also simply take a few moments to practice with yourself.

One of the awesome things about GRATITUDE is it follows the Law of Reciprocation: the more you give, the more you receive!

Give yourself your own time and gratefulness, in a supportive and consistent way, then see what comes.

WORKSHOP: Heart Opening Back-bends (+Gratitude)

Forest Hills 820 Forest Hill Ave. SE, Grand Rapids, MI, United States
Back-bends and heart openers. Are they the same thing? Physically, there are many similarities, and we’ll dive into how to engage your back-body to open your front-body. We’ll also look at some of the subtle differences between a gentle heart opener vs a strong and stable backbend. This is an all-levels workshop, so there’s a little something for everyone.  
We’ll play with:
  • The 3 categories of backbends
  • Building strength and stability in your low back, and learning ways to release your low back
  • How to align your spine for optimal movement
  • Wheel pose, and many steps to focus on along the way (and multiple other fun backbends!)
This blend of both physically opening your heart through a strong and flexible back, and emotionally opening your heart through conscious gratitude meditation will leave you feeling refreshed. You’ll also learn new skills to add to your daily practice! Join Larissa and crew for 2 hours of back-bending glory, ending with a lovely and restful 20 min gratitude practice before we head into savasana.

GRATITUDE MEDITATION

Forest Hills 820 Forest Hill Ave. SE, Grand Rapids, MI, United States
Free to members, regular drop in pricing- you can use class packs! We're so excited to kick off monthly meditation! This is special class as it will coincide with our 21st day of Gratitude for our 21 Days of Gratitude + Meditation in November! (You do not need to participate in both to join in <3)  
We’ll start with 10-15 minutes of very gentle movement to help us get ready for meditation, then we’ll have a short teaching and discussion on Gratitude meditations, and we’ll end with at least a 20 min meditation. And reminder, you don’t need to have meditation practice to join! We’ll always give many options so you can find comfort and resourcing as you practice.  Can’t wait to welcome you into our cozy space for this special in-person meditation class. 

REST FEST

Eastown 1331 Lake Dr SE, Grand Rapids, MI, United States
3.5 hours of yoga bliss?? Yes, that’s the plan!

Deliberately sandwiched right between Thanksgiving and the New Year, the purpose of Rest Fest is to Regroup. Connect. Nourish. Pause. Rest. 

Part 1: Moon Salutations & Myofascial Releasing

1:30-3:30p

We’ll begin with about 30 minutes of gentle but warming Moon Salutations with Jen M, followed by a session of self-massaging techniques that will leave your muscles, and maybe even your soul, feeling much more ease and relaxation.

We’ll take a short break here to enjoy some nourishing treats, before we finish our Rest Fest with…

Part 2: Restorative Yoga & Sound Immersion 

3:30-5:00p

In this 90-minute practice, we will focus on rest & rejuvenation (through movement & breath), with the amazing and magical addition of a Sound Bath performed by Geoff Lamden. If you’ve never heard of a Sound Bath (you’re not alone), imagine the good kind of tingle you feel when music gives you goosebumps! Give your body a little TLC and soothe your senses through melodic sounds. Get ready for full-on yoga bliss.

This event is $59 for members, $69 for non-members; we can’t wait to rest with you.

WINTER SOLSTICE

Forest Hills 820 Forest Hill Ave. SE, Grand Rapids, MI, United States
Winter Solstice Restorative Flow + Yoga Nidra, The Yoga of Sleep

Yoga Nidra is sometimes described as the state of consciousness between waking and sleeping. Think of it like a combination of your favorite restful yoga pose and mental relaxation. We’ll have a brief discussion about the benefits and how to use the practice at home.

We’ll move very gently in a restorative flow, then we’ll finish with a nice, long, warm and supportive Nidra practice so you can float home on a cloud of relaxation. Join us and our amazing community to practice together.

This class has normal drop-in pricing! Members, it’s included in your membership! We’re excited to invite you into the cocoon of support the Winter Solstice can bring.

Dial Up, Dial Down, Dial In: Deepening Your Practice Workshop

Eastown 1331 Lake Dr SE, Grand Rapids, MI, United States

Immerse yourself in Flow State by learning to balance effort and ease in your yoga practice!

Have you ever had one of those yoga classes where suddenly you were in Savasana and you could swear you've only been in your 60-min class for 20 minutes?? This is Flow State! In Flow State, when we're just 'in the zone', we can lose sense of time (in the best way). It offers intrinsic value and enjoyment in the experience itself, and our mind and body come together so we're very present and grounded.
Taught by Larissa and Abs, this Funky Buddha workshop is all about learning skills you can build into any yoga practice, so you can find your Flow State: that balance of effort and ease that brings you peace of mind.
You'll learn how to:
  • Dial UP: Add more strengthening or challenging options for your yoga poses.
  • Dial DOWN: Add more support and ease.
  • Dial IN: Learn what your body needs, moment to moment, and build skills to make stride toward your personal goals.
We hope you join us in this deep dive on March 10th, from 1:30-4:00 at our Eastown Studio!
Spots can go quick, reserve your mat space!
This workshop is $49 for non-members, $39 for members!
