You are the Light A Weekend Yoga Workshop  with Desirée Rumbaugh


  • From the Heart Yoga & Tai Chi Center 776 Leonard Street Northeast Grand Rapids, MI, 49503 United States (map)

October at From the Heart marks the time year that we host our good friend and mentor Desiree!!! We feel excited and blessed to have her each year!

We received good feedback last couple years with the weekend format for Des so we will be structuring the workshop in the Urban Retreat format again. We have limited spaces so register early! Register Here

Important: The material presented in each of these sessions is cumulative and the entire weekend is crafted for every body to learn and grow, no matter your age or stage. It is recommended that you attend all sessions for your optimal understanding and growth. In the event the full weekend does not sell out, we will open single sessions for booking on October 1.

You are not here to chase ships or shout into the storm, to convince waves to still themselves, or to make the wind remember your name. You are here to stand tall on sacred rock, rooted in truth, rising from stillness. You are the light. You do not move. You shine. You are not responsible for who anchors or who drifts. You are responsible only for the integrity of your own light. You are the light that endures. Yoga is a practice that helps us remember that we are far more than we see in the mirror. Once we find our light, we can carry it brightly through our entire lives in a way that will inspire us and those around us to keep our hearts and minds open and curious. 

Don't worry about the darkness — turn on the light and the darkness automatically goes.” ~ David Lynch

Please join us as we welcome back Desirée Rumbaugh to From the Heart Yoga. This year she returns to share more about the transformational power of Yoga. Our community thrives on learning new things about ourselves and this ancient practice. Gathering together is like soul medicine for our hearts, minds and bodies.
