I get contacted a lot about our donation-based model. Sometimes it’s from the media, like Mindful Studio magazine. Reporter Kaitlyn Clay interviewed Just B Yoga about the pros and cons in her article “Opening a donation-based yoga studio.” I honestly forget sometimes that we are donation-based and that it’s novel for some. It’s become such

I don’t believe there is a perfect way to do a posture, or someone doing a posture perfectly. If I’m breaking some yoga commandment, so be it. It’s a part of the reason I don’t take a ton of pictures of me doing yoga. First of all, I don’t want it to be seen as
