Yoga taught me a lot this week. I was faced with truly teaching; teaching with an innate reflex; teaching to people who really need yoga.

I love underdogs and folks who hoist themselves by their bootstraps. Maybe that’s my attraction to Michigan and Lansing in particular. We’ve stopped laying down and accepting being kicked.

Just B Yoga visited The Studio Yoga in Grand Rapids for a special candlelight Lenten Yoga Practice. The class was instructed by my friend Andre Daley (@whollyyoga) who is a pastor and a
