Just B Yoga Blog

Well, Just B Yoga is ready to open its doors on Friday. I can say it’s exciting, scary, and nerveracking all in one bundle. The opening will be “soft” – so, no hoopla. Just start teaching and see who shows up, right? We’ll kick it off with a hip hop power hour on Friday at

I had the honor of visiting two donation-based yoga studios in New York the weekend of Sept. 11. A powerful experience on many levels that served as affirmation for Just B as a donation-based yoga service in Lansing.

Hello Lansing and all my #lovelansing peeps. I’m so happy to be able to announce that Just B will be moving to REO Town, 106 Island Avenue.   Stay tuned for grand opening information, a class schedule and donation information.

Boxed water is better! Really it is. If you’ve seen this already, that’s cool. But I just found it and I want to shout it for everyone to hear. The story behind my introduction to Boxed Water was me running after a guy in the Nuthouse bar at lunch last week. I think he thought

I’m not usually a fan of hospitals and western medicine in general. But I have to give all kinds of props to Sparrow Hospital’s Healing Garden. For almost four years I’ve heard of a meditation garden or maze at Sparrow. I even called about it once or twice and never seemed to get anyone on

I met and befriended some great people at Kulae – they make biodegradable yoga mats that don’t weigh a ton and won’t break the bank. The Kulae peeps started hanging with lots of our peeps and before you knew it we looked like a clan (but aren’t we all anyway?)

As promised, here are some audio and video clips from this weekend’s 11th annual MidWest Yoga Conference outside of Chicago. There was plenty of asana but that was the smallest part of it. We shared our humanity and reaffirmed our need to take our practice off the mat and into action. Check out what Julia Butterfly Hill, Seane Corn and Saul David Raye had to say.
