Remember Your Strength: A Weekend with Desirée Rumbaugh
Registration for Entire Weekend Now Open!!!
The world is shifting faster than our nervous systems can process. In the face of constant change, it is easy to feel overwhelmed, to grasp for control where none exists. But the truth remains—our power lies not in controlling external events but in choosing how we respond. In every moment, we decide where to place our energy, how to care for ourselves, and what to nurture within.
At From the Heart Yoga, we are committed to building a community rooted in steadiness and support. This space is here for you—a refuge where you can return to yourself. We have spent years studying the ancient wisdom of yoga and meditation, knowing that these practices have withstood the test of time. No matter what is happening in the world, the path home is always the same: turn inward. Through breath and movement, we soften the weight we carry, releasing tension and finding strength in the present moment.
This fall, Desirée Rumbaugh returns for her 25th annual visit. Over the years, we have witnessed the profound transformation her teachings bring to our students. With 40 years of experience, she has leaned on her practice to move through deep personal loss and life’s inevitable changes. Yoga has been her foundation—her way of meeting each moment with resilience and grace. Even when life is turbulent, yogis know how to manage stress and live in a more peaceful way.
In this series, you will learn how to build strength from within, to move with greater ease, and to release tension from all parts of your body, including the back, neck, shoulders, hips, knees, and feet. These teachings are more than physical—they are an invitation to deepen your relationship with self-care, to understand your own capacity for healing, and to step into a more empowered way of being.
