GRANDVILLE, MI -- What once began as an ad on Craigslist has transformed into a newly-opened yoga studio near RiverTown Crossings.

Vida Yoga Studio, 4365 Canal Ave., opened last week after owner Jen Wittlinger and her friend, Jami Kok, dreamed up the idea over coffee in January.

Its been a labor of love and Im grateful for all the support of our friends and family, Wittlinger said.

The word Vida means life. Wittlinger hopes her yoga studio will bring just that to everyone who walks through its doors.

I want to take any insecurities out of yoga and just have people try it, she said. To get into yourself.

Vida Yoga offers a variety of classes geared toward experienced yoga enthusiasts, as well as those who have never heard the word, Namaste, a common yoga term meaning true self.

Wittlinger will teach beginners the dos and donts of yoga during the Never Ever yoga class on Thursday evenings.

Well be sitting down and Ill give the basic yoga 101 class think of it as yoga etiquette, she said. Yoga is for everyone its for the athlete and the dreamer. Its a great place to start.

For those more experienced in yoga, there are six various classes, including Vida Sunrise, a morning session where tea and coffee are provided after class, as well as Rock Your Vida, a powerful class that turns on the heat and the music.

Prices range from $14 for a one-time class up to $99 for 10 classes, in addition to monthly and yearly membership discounts.
