Some stories just need to be told from the beginning. I dropped by the South Lansing Community Development Association office two Thursdays ago (Aug. 2). I needed to drop off some schedules for Jenelle who was kind enough to want to help promote Just B Yoga at their farmers market. We got to talking about
Kim Lewis is a yoga instructor at Just B Yoga. She teaches 40+ Yoga and workshops on depression and yoga. I’m emerging from a rough patch. It’s been a few weeks since I dipped into depression, but I’m finding my way out now. And this experience has me questioning my yoga practice. After all, I
Who doesn’t want a free massage? I’ll take your spot if you don’t. LCC’s massage students are offering free 45-minute massages on July 27 – THIS FRIDAY. Consider this a bodywork PSA and your own form of community service. The students need feedback. Let’s help prepare the next generation of massage therapists. It’s a total
Are you a Free Being? Just Being? Human Being? Mantastic Being? What would you like to see on a shirt about your state of being? Just B Yoga wants to hear the creative, funny and philosophically deep you. Make suggestions via Facebook, Twitter or reply on this blog. If we like it we will add
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 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
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:
