Many teenagers\u00a0like to alleviate the stress of school by hanging out with friends, going out to parties, or perhaps instead vegetating on the couch with a bag of popcorn and a Netflix subscription. However, a group of students have found a new way to relax and also become more fit\u00a0by frequenting the Yoga Place, located on Main Street in downtown Midland.<\/p>\n
\u201cI originally went because I\u2019m in Yoga Club,\u201d sophomore Annalise\u00a0Wohlford\u00a0said. \u201cIt did feel really good because it really stretches you out.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Yoga Club is a new addition to DHS this year. A variety of students from different grades are members of the club, and\u00a0they regularly visit the Yoga Place together.<\/p>\n
\u201c[I went to the] candlelight yoga class where it was basically meant to help you relax,\u201d\u00a0Wohlford\u00a0said. \u201cIt was very quiet and dark except for some candles,\u00a0and there was the natural music in the background.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to the candlelight yoga session, the Yoga Place offers\u00a0a variety of other classes suitable for anyone from beginners to yoga pros. The fundamental yoga class, for example, goes through basic yoga poses with a specific focus on alignment, while the\u00a0Ashtanga\u00a0yoga class offers a high-energy, challenging yoga workout for more advanced participants.<\/p>\n
