Kacee Must never planned on starting her own business, but here she is, having just opened her second Citizen Yoga location in less than two years. Must and her team will be hosting a grand opening celebration this Friday, Jan. 23. Michigan businesses like B. Nektar Meadery and 7 Greens will be providing refreshments from 5 to 8 p.m. as
Citizen Yoga leads a fundraiser for Detroit Achievement Academy. The yoga studio is located in the Z building at 1224 Library St.
After spending nearly three years in India, an illness coerced Must back to Michigan. While it wasn't what she had planned, Must believes that her move back has led to her doing exactly what she's supposed to be doing. She opened her first yoga studio in Royal Oak in August 2013 and by February 2014, she started planning a Detroit location. Must believes that running a yoga studio complements her personhood.
"I found a love for teaching in India," says Must. "I think I'm destined to do it. It serves me so much personally to share this with others. Purpose is important in American life and anxiety lessens when you do something that's in your nature."
For now, the Detroit location is open Monday through Saturday, though demand is already leading toward classes seven days a week. The studio is designed with the downtown business community in mind with 45-minute long sessions and three showers available. The location also offers two hours of free parking in the Z garage. In the summer, the storefront windows will open up to the sidewalk.
Classes offered include alignment-based Vinyasa, blend, slow burn, and slow burn basics. It's a beginner-friendly studio, says Must, and the eclectic range of people that have come so far have been an asset.
