\"IMG_8585\"<\/a>By Hannah Severson–\u00a0<\/strong>Senior Jianna Hoss is a Mass Communication student here at Morningside. But, when she isn\u2019t doing work for the mass communications department, you are more than likely going to find her teaching yoga.<\/p>\n

Hoss became interested with yoga after taking a personal fitness course in high school. She really got into it, though, her freshman year of college.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started with Youtube videos and stuff at home and then I eventually graduated to going to a studio practice,\u201d said Hoss. \u00a0This summer, she became a certified yoga instructor.<\/p>\n

The most challenging part of yoga training for her was the transformation mentally. \u201cI was warned ahead of time that it was going to be really hard and that it was going to change me in ways that I didn\u2019t even anticipate, \u201c Hoss said, \u201cIt really makes you look at your life. It is more than just the physical practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoss goes on to say that she recommends yoga for pretty much anything. It builds strength and flexibilty but it also can help people with things going on in their lives. It also allows people to let go of things that hold them back.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is really good for spirituality, relaxation, dealing with anxiety, and really just overcoming a lot of stressful stuff in your life,” she said. “It gives you an outlet to put that into.\u201d<\/p>\n

She teaches between three to six classes a week here in Sioux City and back in her hometown of Spirit Lake, Iowa.<\/p>\n

There is no skill level required to take one of Jianna\u2019s classes, she teaches all levels. There are options for those who are just beginners, those who are more advanced, and anyone in between.<\/p>\n

If you are interested, classes are Monday at 5:30 pm and Wednesday and Friday at 12 pm in the HPER dance room. If you have any questions email Jianna at jkh008@morningside.edu .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
