Our new bike rack with the custom-welded logo was vandalized yesterday. A student told a Just B teacher that they saw some “kids” ripping the letters off. Intentional meanness. Blatant and open daytime vandals. I could go on and on about feeling violated and perplexed at such a display of evil. But I won’t. It’s

Tuesday we will honor the Summer Solstice with a practice of 108 Sun Salutations (Surya Namasakaras) 108 is a big number. It’s that number that makes lots of folks cringe. We’ve discussed preparing our spirit for this journey (108 Sun Salutations prep: Spirit, Journey and Journals). But we cannot ignore the physical side and the
A lot of folks are asking me about how hard doing the 108 sun salutations will be in our special Summer Solstice Yoga practice. “Will it kick my ass?” “My body isn’t strong enough.” “How bad am I going to ache afterward?” While there is an undeniable physicality to the 108 sun salutation practice, and
These are the folks I hang out with on Friday nights for a special yoga class for the Lansing Derby Vixens: Mullicious Intent * Gluteus Maxine * Rock of Shove * Evil Irene * Addie Mortem * Nast E Dogbyte They sound badass, right? I’m an honorary Vixen but it’s not legit until I

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. We’re seizing the day, seizing our potential, seizing our own futures! New ideas and efforts abound. One of them is REO Art Alley. It’s more than

Tonight’s the night! Our Wednesday yoga class is moving to Art Alley at 6 p.m. We’re practicing yoga to DJ Rachael and we’re gathering afterward with food from Feed Your Karma. This special 2-hour class is about celebrating and giving back to the community. The drive to give back comes from a lot of places.
Sounds cool right? What’s that? Yoga in the alley? There’ll be an eclipse? What’s a solstice?
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:
