Anyone who heads out the side door of the 200 hall will catch a sight that they might not have expected in a high school classroom: a group of teachers doing yoga. Teacher Cindy Eppes is sharing her skills with teachers two afternoons a week and teaching them how to get in shape, physically and mentally.

“I have been practicing yoga for over 30 years now,” Eppes said. “For me, it’s a great way to get rid of stress and stay fit and toned at the same time.”

For some teachers, an opportunity to do yoga for free and with a group of their coworkers was too good to pass up.

“I have always wanted to do yoga, so I was happy when this opportunity came about,” Amanda Whittlesey said. “It’s very relaxing, quiet, and my kids aren’t there, so that’s a plus!”

Eppes has been pleased with the turnout so far.

“I was very excited when I was asked to teach a yoga class,” Eppes said. “We have a really great class of people.”
