Yoga with Yaga, Dance Dimensions, 638 Main St., Studio 1, Longmont, 303-818-9883, yogawithyaga.com
Instructor: Yaga Richter, a Longmont mother, who has been teaching yoga for about a year. She has basic yoga teacher training from Core Power in Boulder and was trained in prenatal and Mommy and Me yoga at Yo Mama Yoga in Boulder.
Last summer, she taught Yoga for Moms outside in the park near a playground, where older kids could play (and were watched by a designated babysitter).
Richter, who was born in Poland, plans to move her current class outside in June or so, when it warms up. Specific location to be determined. This fall, she hopes to move into the new Family Garden building, scheduled to open in Longmont in May. The Family Garden will be a nonprofit prenatal and parent support facility, offering childbirth education, nursing groups and other classes.
What is the workout? A yoga class for moms and their children of any age (typically from about 6 weeks old to 5 years). Class focuses on restoring the body after pregnancy, strengthening the core and glutes, opening the shoulders, improving strength, posture and flexibility and helping moms find their "inner calm." Part of the class typically focuses on poses for the moms, and another part involves activity for the kids.
"It's all done in a safe manner," Richter says, keeping in mind common postpartum challenges, such as the diastasis recti (an abdominal separation common after pregnancy).
Richter started the Mommy and Me class in late February because she didn't know of any other yoga classes focused on moms and kids in Longmont.
She says her classes fall in between challenging Core Power classes and slower, more restorative and socially focused "mommy and me" yoga classes.
Class starts with a short check-in, when moms introduce themselves and can share challenges and advice, but the class is designed to be a workout, not a social hour. If the kids cooperate, a class typically runs like this: warm-up, basic sun salutations, standing poses, core work, floor strengthening poses and gentle stretches. Sometimes Richter reads to the kids or plays with them at the end so the moms can relax while lying on their backs in the shavasana pose.

Holy Yoga combines worship with yoga postures.
By Kristin Kalning
Jessica Heller liked what power yoga did for her body. But she loves what Holy Yoga does for her body and spirit.
Heller, 29, found the Christian-based yoga practice when she moved back to her native Phoenix from Denver. To her, the environment was more inviting, and more like a community than at a regular yoga class. And, it brought in a spiritual element that aligned with my personal belief system and resonated so much more deeply, she said.
Millions of Americans do yoga for its well-known mental and physical benefits. But some devout Christians are uncomfortable with yogas Eastern roots, and its association with Hinduism. Holy Yoga, and other Christ-centered practices such as Yoga for Christians, Scripture Yoga and Praise Moves offer the advantages of yoga, without all the "om"-ing.
We can absolutely service the people who are afraid of yoga because they thought yoga was incompatible with Christ, said Brooke Boon, founder of Holy Yoga. An avid yogi since 1998, Boon stopped practicing when she first came to her faith. But then she began spending alone time with the Lord, on my mat, and it totally awakened my practice. And in 2003, Holy Yoga was born.
Classes begin with a Bible scripture that forms the theme for the class. The poses are the same ones youd see in a secular yoga class, though instructors sometimes opt not to use the Sanskrit names. Chaturanga becomes high-to-low push-up, and Savasana is "corpse pose."
Holy Yoga classes are, according to Boon and Heller, as good or better than any class youd find in a studio. Even world class yogis will say this is amazing yoga, said Boon. And its popularity has skyrocketed in recent years, with 400 instructors in 43 states and 10 countries.

Komets' assistant battling for next big chance
Posted: at 6:27 pm
Gary Graham can't afford to be shy. Throughout his life as a North Side student, a hockey player, a fireworks salesman, mortgage broker and coach, Graham has always had to sell people on what he could do as opposed to what they thought he couldn't do. And then he always had to keep proving it as he kept trying to climb levels.
Fewer than a dozen hockey players from Indiana have played at the AA or AAA minor league level and even fewer have become successful coaches. Graham missed making it as a player but is convinced he can make it as a coach. All he wants is a chance to convince everyone else.
The 1997 North Side graduate has been the Komets' assistant coach for four seasons, and if he makes it to a head coaching job someday, his story will be legendary because his chances truly started from almost nothing. A defenseman, Graham was a good player by Indiana standards, and managed to play a year-and-a-half of junior hockey before his playing career hit the ceiling.
He understood he was only going to advance so far as a player in part because he didn't start playing until age 12. His playing days had fizzled but not his passion.
``It's funny how you get into coaching,'' he said. ``I was always the guy who was leading, either as captain or as the class president at North Side or owning my own business for 10 years. Coaching seemed a natural to me.''
After coming home and going to Ball State, he started coaching the Snider club team and led the Panthers to the Class AA state title game. The next year they won the city championship.
Then Graham worked as an assistant coach with a junior team in Indianapolis that finished one win a way from advancing to the national tournament. Following that, Graham returned to North Side where he coached the Redskins' club team, taking a squad that finished last the previous season to the city title.
While working in his fireworks business during the off-season, Graham became friends with Komets defenseman Guy Dupuis. During his part-time job, Dupuis would sell Graham advertising signs and talk about hockey.
``Guy knew my passion for coaching, and one day after they won the triple overtime game against Port Huron (in 2008), I told him I really needed to take this to the next level,'' Graham said. ``Because I didn't have a playing career, I knew I had to have somebody help get me into it. I asked Guy, `What do you think about getting me in front of Al Sims?' He said he could do that.''
Graham figured if he was lucky, he might get a few drills he could use from Sims or a chance to observe training camp. The Komets coach, Dupuis and Graham met one summer night on Chipoltle's patio, with Sims quizzing Graham on hockey philosophy and systems. Sims sensed Graham's passion right away.

Borree takes over Gremlins
Posted: at 6:27 pm
HOUGHTON - Karl Borree has been chosen to take over Houghton High School's varsity football head coaching position.
His hiring was confirmed by the Houghton-Portage Township Schools Board of Education Monday.
"I've really loved football my whole life, and being up here, I was just waiting for the right opportunity where I thought I could help," he said.
That love of football is something that has carried Borree through a playing career at Northern Michigan University and coaching in several stops, including at Michigan Tech, where he was an assistant under Bernie Anderson from 1992-2001.
Borree, a specifications coordinator at Horner Sports Flooring in Dollar Bay, also served the last two seasons as an assistant coach in Hancock's program.
Transferring that love of the game into the Gremlin program is a priority for Borree as he establishes his mark.
"I always had a lot of fun playing football and I have fun coaching it, and I think it's important for the players to have fun," he said.
Borree takes over for Marc Sanko, a Michigan Tech student who was head coach for one season before leaving the area for graduate school. He is the fourth HHS coach in the last five seasons.
It's still nearly five months until fall practices kick off in August, so Borree said talk of tactics will wait until he has a better handle on his team's strengths and weaknesses and can reinforce the fundamentals.
"Especially in high school, you try to fit your offense and your defense to your personnel as best you can," he said.
