Honoring the Journey of Lifelong Learning
We are thrilled to share that Behnje is going to San Miguel de Allende for a yoga retreat with our dear friend and mentor, Desiree. For the past 24 years, Desiree has been teaching workshops and trainings annually at From the Heart Yoga Center, offering her wisdom, inspiration, and deep knowledge to the greater Grand Rapids community.
As teachers, it is essential to remain students—to step away, immerse ourselves in learning, and return renewed. When we take time to grow, we bring back fresh insights, refined skills, and deeper understanding to share with the students here at From the Heart. This retreat is an opportunity for Behnje to study, reflect, and return with even more to offer.
We are big fans of lifelong learning and look forward to the wisdom and inspiration Behnje will bring home.
Behnje will be gone from Friday February 14 to Friday February 21. During that week we will have two different recorded classes on the schedule that you can check into and a link will be sent to you.
With Gratitude, Rick and Behnje

Reviews From Our Community
“Since studying at From the Heart, I have truly come into “living” yoga beyond the mat. The overall mind/body/spirit connection has not only become very real and made me more aware on all levels of my own personal growth, but has also enhanced my connection to community and the world around me. I am more grounded, peaceful, observant, grateful and authentic.”
