May at Grassroots feels like a deep breath after a long season.
The weather is warming, the community is gathering, and the calendar is full of opportunities to move, rest, connect, reflect, celebrate, and play. Whether you’re joining us for yoga, sound baths, mindful motherhood offerings, outdoor adventures, or simply stopping by to reconnect with yourself for an hour… we’re really glad you’re here.
This month brings Mother’s Day celebrations, wellness fairs, new classes, community gatherings, and the beginning of our summer adventure season. There’s something beautiful about this time of year — a reminder that growth doesn’t happen all at once. It happens slowly, intentionally, through moments of showing up.
We can’t wait to share this season with you.

Sending love and light your way ✨
Love,
Emilee + Brigette
