I love, love, love sharing yoga, meditation and tai chi practices with young people. They always wind up showing me more about being than I could ever show them.
Yoga with young people can be freeing and wondrous. When allowed to set their own guidelines they tend to choose kindness over cruelty, and joy over judgment. Anything become possible, even headstands!
I’m honored to be spinning around in this cosmic confusion with you all. Each beautiful, sassy, silly, brilliant, intelligent, creative, generous, nerdy, queer, unique one of you.
Studio guidelines for Covid safety include: bring your own mat, masks optional, don’t come with any cold/flu symptoms. More…
I know I haven’t spoken with you all in quite a while. Quite frankly I’ve been running hard, then running in place, then sometimes hardly running at all. Since mid-March it feels like we experienced a tectonic shift. The last class at the studio was a Sunday, Chakra Yoga Flow.

I have decided to cancel further outdoor yoga classes for the foreseeable future. The COVID pandemic is still among us and recent trends locally have me not feeling comfortable with hosting an event which could become an epicenter of outbreak.
This week’s Outside Yoga Around Town will be at the center of the LCC campus downtown. Plenty of bicycle parking. Easy to reach off the River Trail. There’s a Japanese Garden adjacent with giant Koi fish eager for you to feed them.
Outdoor Yoga Around Town, June 18, 7 p.m. Turner Dodge House, 100 E North St, Lansing, MI 48906
