Grand Rapids, Mich.,—Funky Buddha Yoga Hothouse celebrates its 5th anniversary in true Funky Buddha style: with live music, a DJed laser light show yoga class, sales, delicious food, and sweaty hot yoga classes from Tuesday, December 1 through Saturday, December 5. This week-long celebration commemorates the opening of its Eastown studio (1331 Lake Dr.) 5 years ago on December 1, 2010.
Since then, Funky Buddha Yoga has grown to three locations, which include Holland (12330 James St.) and Forest Hills (820 Forest Hill Ave SE), with more than 100 classes a week in service to its growing member base. Owners Chris and Kerri Reinbold saw a need for an accessible hot yoga studio in Grand Rapids in 2010 and Funky Buddha Yoga was born.
"It's an understatement to say how grateful we are to the West Michigan community for their full-on embrace of Funky Buddha Yoga just five years ago,” said Kerri Reinbold, Co-Founder of Funky Buddha Yoga Hothouse. “Our growth and continued success is due to our amazing staff and students who always show up ready to sweat and have fun. There are a lot of thanks to go around.”
The funky celebration will host special laser light show hot yoga classes showcasing local DJ AJ Paschka, a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, December 1 with representatives of the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, and special sales at all three locations.
The culmination of the anniversary on Saturday, December 5 will feature treats from local restaurants and giveaways during classes. A celebratory 90-minute hot yoga class at 12:30pm will cap off the day at the Eastown location.
