YOGA FOR RUNNERS

Where: Off 'N Running, 2201 Joan Ave., Greensboro.

Cost: $120.

Class leader: Suzanne Duncan (RYT200 nationally recognized yoga instructor with more than six years of teaching experience).

Ann is great! I take her Friday morning 6am yoga class at the Y, and there are a bunch of real runners in there (though I am not one of them). She has a great sense of humor and is so accepting.
