So it&#8217;s really kinda hard to shut everything down and if I were to have yoga as a teen I think it would have been transformative.&#8221; This is the very reason\u00a0she voluntarily teaches the class and wants to get more teens involved. She was originally inspired to take on yoga because at KU she had the opportunity to take a yoga class at the Ambler Recreational Center.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44175 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_6255-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6255\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_6255-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_6255-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_6255-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The class itself held a variety of people from all around Lawrence.
