Best Ashram Lansing Near Me

Maxwell: I know this is called meditation but I use it for a doctor's appointment every month, and its so slow. like I could run 8 miles before they call my name up. I honestly don't like this place.

Taylor B: For being called "Just B" yoga, me and my friend hard a time just being ourselves here, which was really dissapointing.. we had to park on a side street and as soon as we got out of our we got harrassed by some guy on his porch (totally unrelated to the studio but still was a very unpleasant way to start of my day. we arrived ten minutes early because it said to onine but the instructor made it very clear that we were interrupting.. the instructor/owner seemed very hostile and when i mentioned i love balancing my chakras with crystals she made me seem stupid and acted like she had never heard of such a thing.. she seemed to be very nice and pleasant to other people there but me and my friend.. after the class was over i noticed there was a wall of names that if you donated you were put on. I went up to her and said i really enjoyed the class and i'd love to donate and she just stuck her hand out for the money.. no thank you.. no please come back..this experince was VERY dissapointing... probably why they only had three other people there.. but i would recommend EL Hot Yoga for anyone who would like a warm welcoming enviroment!!

Yvonne LeFave: It's January: that time of year when folks think about goals and resolutions. Doing so reminded me of this great place -- the ONLY donation-based studio in Michigan, last I heard. Not only will you find attentive instructors here, you'll also find an emphasis on sangha (community) -- ALL of it, from LGBTQ and allies yoga classes, trauma-informed yoginis, and even classes designed to include folks with more curves and those over 40. If you haven't checked them out, maybe this time of year will get you through the door, too?

Miranda M. Ward: This seems like an excellent place to practice for average health based individuals. However, it does not feel like an appropriate placeto practice if you are new to yoga or wish to choose your own level of participation. I attended a class recently and the instructor called my friend by name multiple times in front of the whole class in order to correct his asanas. It was his first yoga class ever and he desired to very lightly participate. She did not offer different asanas for him to choose from, despite informing her that he had a knee replacement and him stating to her that he was not comfortable with certain posturing. She would not respond to this and would tell him that he could physically do something and would wait by his mat until he tried. It felt that she did not trust what he knew about his own body. She was also very annoyed when we asked for no further assistance and in frustration she stated, " just do what you want", and walked away. I teach yoga myself and was attending for moral support for my friend to help him find a studio he liked in the area- but was trying not to interfere with her teaching. I felt multiple times that I had to speak up to create emotional safety for my friend as the instructor seemed focused on him. He said he felt completely turned off to group classes at all due to his experience here and is apprehensive about attending any group yoga classes again.

elige stewart: My yoga home! Skillful, accessible classes led by an amazing and wonderful instructor! Thank you for being such an amazing and wonderful part of the community!

Dave Runyon: I began my yoga journey here. "B" is awesome, a truly gifted and understanding yoga teacher. Go to a class and begin your journey too!

Eben Gering: A lovely space with a very welcoming and effective instructor. The class was also excellent -classes are conducted in an upbeat, encouraging way that is both enjoyable and helpful to students of all ages and abilities. I look forward to the next one!And I have never encountered a yoga studio that is so generous with public service. Just b offers a wide spectrum of activities for groups you might not see in bigger studios (youth, larger-bodied people, LGBTQ, trauma victims, etc.). It seems almost magical to me that taking affordable, fun, and rejuvenating yoga classes also helps Just b continue this important work.

Kimberly Mack: So grateful for this space in the community. Belinda fosters a wonderful atmosphere for individuals to come as they are to ground and to grow. Looking forward to participating in many more classes here :)

David Torley: Some studios challenge you physically, some challenge you mentally, and some develop a fun and inviting atmosphere. Just B is the only studio I've found that does all three with a comforting ease. Wonderful people and wonderful place to be.

Brian Bridson: A beautiful studio performing an important service for the Lansing community. Classes for all levels are donation-based. Excellent and caring instructors with experience teaching beginner to advanced. Highly recommended!
