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. Our practice feels strong and committed and deeper every time we roll out our mat. We tell ourselves that
We need a lot more Ganeshas in our studio because we apparently need to know how to get around obstacles to our practice (if not remove them, since more keep cropping up). Bookmark this link to a map with the detour on your mobile device. DETOUR MAP
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
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
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
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
Before I get into the amazing presentations of the Yoga Service Conference, I want to share a different kind of yoga service project. This is a project Reach Studio Art youths did in service of yoga and community through art at Just B Yoga. We are about building community and serving community. The art these
Yoga is definitely good at bringing out body-image issues. There’s nothing like a magazine cover photo of someone with their body folded in half or twisted in an apparent knot to make us turn our gazes away from our own bodies. I can’t wear that. I can’t put my foot there. My belly will be
Our studio exists because of donations and support from the community. We believe yoga should be affordable and accessible to all. Please consider supporting our mission:
