Kathy Junglas (pictured at the far right) runs a local yoga studio and volunteered to teach basic skills to middle school girls each morning of that week. Students pictured are (foreground, from left) Meghan Casey, Aryianna Dickensheets; (first row) Taylor Causley, Olivia Wyers, Whitney Matson, Erisa Crystal, Morgan Peterson, and Sharman Colegrove. Mrs. Junglas said as well as providing stress relief and more limber muscles, yoga positions like the "warrior" can help inspire more confidence. Physical education teacher Emily Fullerton said she asked Mrs. Junglas to come in to provide students with a wider variety of educational offerings at the school.
