Coleman-Bush Building History
Coleman-Bush Building was designed to be a multipurpose physical facility for the social, economic, health, cultural, recreational, and educational needs of the growing community. Construction began on the then-named Northwest Community Center in 1974. In October of 1980, it officially became the Coleman-Bush Building. It was named after two gentlemen who were prominent members of the community. Charles A. Coleman was a Lakeland Commissioner from 1974 until 1978. He also served as mayor pro term in 1976 and mayor in 1977. Gow M. Bush was a well known physician. They were both active and involved in the local civic affairs. This building has proven to be an important asset to the community and has continued to fulfill the objective set up all those years ago. It has provided office space for lease by non-profit organizations and meeting space for civic groups. Social events enhance the quality of the community life, so it is only fitting that the Coleman-Bush Building, a community cornerstone, hosts these events, as well. It also provides leisure time programming for the city’s residents. City of Lakeland Neighborhood Services & Housing Division replaced the rental suites, NAACP remains in the building.

classes Yoga Flow
Come and discover the practice of yoga in our class! Yoga Flow caters to everyone, focusing on the basics. Here's what you need to know before you come: It's always advisable to avoid eating right before yoga, wear clothing that allows freedom of movement in the body and leave your shoes at the door. Show up prepared to move. Yoga stretches and strengthens the body through a series of postures in which you support your own weight and focus on conscious breathing, both of which can be more challenging than they sound! Luckily, you have a luxurious rest (Savasana) at the end of class to look forward to. You'll walk out feeling embodied, empowered, energized and eager to come back!
