When Larissa began her yoga journey in 2018, she was a friend’s drag-along to class. She craved community, physical movement, and to understand why so many people were obsessed with yoga. Her love was a slow bloom that came to fruition two years later. Ironically, she found all these things in the easily accessible Zoom rooms of 2020. She became hooked after taking tools from the Baptiste style off of the mat and applying them to her everyday life. Larissa completed her 200-hour training in the Baptiste style from Listen & Know in 2021. Larissa’s goal is to create a playful, explorative practice where each individual finds support, personal challenge, and reward through movement. When she’s not in the studio, Larissa explores the wilderness, sings opera, and cuddles with her dog, Chip.

Favorite place to relax: I love to relax in my sister's garden at sunset while our dogs are playing.

Favorite animal: Other than my adorable dog, my favorite animal is a raccoon.

Favorite yoga pose: My favorite yoga pose is half moon. It’s one of the few strength-building poses where we get to use open hips.
