Just B Yoga is a donation-based yoga community outreach that shares accessible, trauma-informed yoga with social justice and action at the core. Our instruction moved purely online when the COVID-19 pandemic struck. We offer “open source yoga” – community classes for the public without passwords or special accounts available on Facebook and YouTube. We freely share our practice and gratefully accept whatever donation you wish to give. We celebrate every unique and divine shape, size, age, race, sexual orientation, gender identification and/or expression.
