The Student Government Association (SGA) and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) at Fluvanna County High School are doing their part to ensure that this does not happen to the children at the Kluge Children’s Rehabilitation Center.

BY PAGE H. GIFFORD CORRESPONDENT

Yoga has become the trend of a new generation searching for inner peace while staying limber in their later years. Tara Young is one among many who takes her yoga seriously at Orme Family Fitness. “I have done yoga sporadically over the years with a video, but my regular practice began only thirteen months ago with Carolyn Kardan in her classes at Orme Family Fitness,” said Young. On Thursday mornings, a group of regulars, Young included, parade into class at 11 a.m. their mats tucked neatly under their arms. Carolyn is the instructor who also teaches a Cross Circuit Training class the same day. It was Karden who encouraged Young to enter the Yoga Journal Magazine contest. To become a contestant, Young had to submit a picture of herself doing a yoga pose. She stated it was diffi cult to choose only one pose and asked her yoga class and closest friends and family to help her choose between a dozen of her top photos. Surprisingly, everyone kept choosing the same two which made the decision easier. Young also had to come up with a 300 word answer to “How yoga inspires me”. Young admits that trying to express an answer with only using 300 words was extremely diffi cult for her but she somehow managed to get it done in exactly the 300. Young recites her contest answer. “Yoga inspires me to stop hiding my light...and to start allowing it to radiate from the depths of my spirit. Yoga quiets the chatter of Tara Young entered the Yoga Journal Magazine contest. Photo by Page H. Giff ord. my mind and allows me to hear the truth that has been within me all the time.
