LARISSA BOUTIQUE
VINYASA & FITNESS FACULTY
“Yoga is a dance within…and then something inside you grows so big, it spills out like champagne, that’s when you dance on the outside.” Tao Porchon-Lynch
If you are looking for a fun, music-driven, and yet challenging class, then flow and sweat with Larissa.
For Larissa, the yoga mat has always been a heaven for escaping the ordinary—a place to find tranquility and liberation through movement and self-discovery. Born and raised in Germany, Larissa is the daughter of a Turkish mother and Belgian father. She navigated her early childhood between multiple cultures, religions, and countries, fostering her innate curiosity and open-mindedness. During her teenage years, Larissa dabbled with yoga and meditation as a means of finding solace, grounding, and "the answers" to life. With a background in landscape architecture, she journeyed through Europe and California, fostering a deep admiration for the beauty of Mother Nature. Her first pregnancy marked a turning point, propelling Larissa into a dedicated yoga practice to prepare physically, mentally, and emotionally for motherhood. Not long after, she discovered her passion for yoga sculpt—a one-hour format that encapsulates strength and flexibility, challenge and community, all synchronized with music and heat. Teaching followed naturally, with Larissa now sharing her passion and holding a 500 CYT certification. Yet, the true essence of her journey lies in the connections and friendships nurtured within the yoga community.
