Some stories just need to be told from the beginning. I dropped by the South Lansing Community Development Association office two Thursdays ago (Aug. 2). I needed to drop off some schedules for Jenelle who was kind enough to want to help promote Just B Yoga at their farmers market. We got to talking about
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
Who doesn’t want a free massage? I’ll take your spot if you don’t. LCC’s massage students are offering free 45-minute massages on July 27 – THIS FRIDAY. Consider this a bodywork PSA and your own form of community service. The students need feedback. Let’s help prepare the next generation of massage therapists. It’s a total

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.

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.
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;
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 during the summer road construction on S. Washington. Don’t let the barrels and loaders and road equipment deter you from your practice. 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
