Kim Lewis: Emerging from a rough patch

Kim Lewis is a yoga instructor at Just B Yoga. She teaches 40+ Yoga and workshops on depression and yoga. I’m emerging from a rough patch. It’s been a few weeks since I dipped into depression, but I’m finding my way out now. And this experience has me questioning my yoga practice. After all, I

Finding your personal yoga practice

If you’ve practiced yoga for any period of time you’ve likely struggled with creating a home practice. We can eagerly book our personal calendars to attend classes around town to take from various teachers without hesitation.

How to get to Just B Yoga (more construction)

Common Ground ticket giveaway revised

I went to my first Common Ground concert last night after living here since 2004, what a shame. I went to support a local artist, Lyric’Lee, who opened for Morris Day. It was a fabulous concert but I was most struck with the crowd. This was more than a concert. It was also a meeting

Emily White: When yoga finds you

I have been told that yoga finds you when the time is right. When my yoga finally found me, I felt a bit like Molly McGrue from “The Last Unicorn,” one of my all time favorite movies/books. “Where have you been?” Before the whiteness and the shining horn, Molly shrank to a shrilling beetle, but

Today’s gonna be my new birthday

May 19, 1992 (Malcolm X’s birthday) I was hired at my first newspaper and defined myself by the title of reporter and journalist. June 29, 2012 (Stokeley Carmichael’s (Kwame Toure) birthday) I carve a new identity, one that is my own, shining from within.   Happy birthday Malcolm, Kwame, Me.

It’s time

This week is bittersweet. Friday will be my last day in a newsroom. I say goodbye to a 20-year roller coaster ride of a journalism career that has taken me from D.C. to Pittsburgh to New York to Dallas to Michigan. I say goodbye to living by the pace of the news as it develops;

Just B Yoga Detour – the road to yoga!

Here’s the Just B Yoga Detour (instead of the Just B Yoga Tour which would be much more fun!) Washington Avenue is a mess! Yes, we know. Southbound traffic is closed. Yes – Sorry. How do we get to yoga? Do we quit? Do we turn to booze, drugs or at least donuts? NO!!! Take

Just B Yoga is open

Starting June 6, southbound Washington will be closed to traffic but northbound is open. Here’s a map with a suggested detour taking S. Cedar south and cutting across

Serving with yoga

How does your yoga practice serve you? How do you serve through your yoga practice? “How did you change your life…how did that happen? What causes us to change? What is yoga?” — Beryl Bender Birch It’s been nearly two weeks since I came back from the first annual Yoga Service Conference at the Omega
