Clinton community class teaches the benefits of yoga

CLINTON — Even though yoga has become popular in western culture, the ancient practice is still somewhat of a mystery to some, including the classroom of students who gathered at a Clinton community class recently to uncover some of the sport’s mysteries.

Their instructor, Carolina Ferrin, who teaches yoga at a local gym, said most people begin a yoga program because they are interested in fixing an ache or seeking spiritual knowledge. Though good reasons for getting into yoga, they are only a small part of the activity, said Ferrin.

Boost your well-being with these yoga poses

CHICAGO -- Ingrid Yang turned to yoga a dozen years ago as a way to deal with injuries she suffered as a distance runner.

"When I started stretching and doing some strength training -- not with weights, but with my own body weight -- I noticed I was becoming injured less and less," Yang says of her introduction to yoga.

Soon after, she started teaching yoga, eventually owning her own studio and teaching classes on both coasts. Yang has also, with co-author Daniel Dituro, recently released the book "Hatha Yoga Asanas."
