I found myself in Lansing in the fall of 2010 for a new job.

Attending Just B’s community class on Wednesday nights was my saving grace as I searched for meaning and community in a new city. I felt right at home and have been a dedicated and loyal student to the Just B movement ever since. I’ve been practicing yoga for 7 years, but yoga truly found me when I was ready to be found, just over a year ago.

As a cyclist, I started practicing yoga to strengthen my form for long bike rides, but I realized quickly that yoga was a very spiritual and emotional practice for me and I have now integrated it into all parts of my life.

I wanted to deepen my personal practice and have the ability to share what yoga has given me to others so I completed Hilltop’s 200 hour teacher training in the summer of 2011. Giving back to a community that has taught me so much over the last year is such a blessing.

If I’m not at the Just B studio, you may see me pedaling around Lansing or raving about how amazing the Lansing community is on the Lansing Collective blog.

Until then, I look forward to sharing a practice with you!
