Just B Yoga loves Lansing. "I like to call us The #LoveLansing Yoga studio. We wouldn't be what we are if the #LoveLansing community hadn't embraced us," says owner Belinda Thurston.
The studio is involved in activities with the
Derby Vixens,
Dragon Boat,
Mid-MEAC,
Art Alley,
Reach Studio Art, the
Greater Lansing Women's Center,
Capital City DJ Olympics,
Allen Neighborhood Center, the
Lansing City Market, and the list goes on. "So, how has Greater Lansing positively impacted Just B?," asks Thurston. "Greater Lansing inspires, creates and recreates Just B all the time."
Currently operating with a staff of eight, Thurston is looking to add additional massage therapists, a studio assistant, and an online sales specialist (for
LansingYoga.com, a hub for information, services and profiles of the New Age community), after expanding her team by three in the past year.
New ventures fort the Just B crew include Lansing's first LGBTQ Yoga Flow, an LGBTQ-friendly class; DOGA at
Annabelle's Pet Station, a class for yoga with your canine; and Thurston has been selected to present a workshop at the Michigan Yoga Fest this summer on "Building community with yoga."
