The Grinning Yogi: Recent Episodes
Jamie Silverstein
WELCOME HOME
The Grinning Yogi was founded with a simple mission: to celebrate you, as you are, TODAY. Fed up with the marketing of 'not enough' so rampant in the fitness world, we sought refuge. We were sick of being told we needed to change and we were ready to do something about it. It is with this on our hearts that we opened our first studio in Seattle in 2012.
Years later, nothing has changed. We believe in the power of acceptance, compassion and self-love. We believe that bodies are here to be listened to and cherished. We believe you know what you need, you just sometimes need the space to hear it. We believe in the power of our practice and our community. We believe in YOU.
Please enjoy our meditations, movements and musings. We are here to connect!

Join Anja for a heart warming practice to acknowledge and express gratitude for the life that is right here. You'll be thoughtfully guided to reflect on what you appreciate in order to find more ease and connection and remember your belonging to yourself, and to each other.
Take a few moments to shift your relationship with your body through a grounding body scan and heartfelt meditation. This is an opportunity to reframe how you relate to your body so you can let go and heal from the inside out.
Join Anja for a transformative meditation. During this meditation we'll practice saying yes to our experience. So often, we have strong conditioning that leads us to reject what we're experiencing and also leads us to reject ourselves. This is an opportunity to sit with what is, welcome it fully and allow yourself to be where you are, as you are.
