UO Yoga classes
stretch the mind
Ryan Starkweather Emerald
Elayne Quirin’s Hatha Yoga students stretch during Monday’s class in Esslinger Gym.
■Yoga classes give students
the opportunity to loosen
their limbs and relax
their thoughts
By Janos J. Plesko
for the Emerald
Peace, tranquility and academ
ic credit.
Taking a yoga class at the Uni
versity can provide students with
a healthy experience in a comfort
able setting.
“Stretch your body gently, and
touch your toes with your hands,”
Hatha Yoga teacher Elayne Quirin
said, her calm voice filling the air
in the Esslinger Gym.
During the next 50 minutes,
students are elevated to a mild, re
laxed state of physical and mental
awareness. Hatha Yoga deals with
physical exercises, the purpose of
which is to achieve well-being
and to prepare the body for fur
ther spiritual awareness, Quirin
said.
Holly Hammons. 23, one of
Quirin’s students, said she enjoys
the experience.
“This class is very educational
and definitely worth the time,”
Hammons said.
Quirin, who was born with her
left leg shorter than her right, dis
covered yoga while searching for
ways to relieve tension and pain
her body experienced as she
walked. She sought a remedy
from a chiropractor, and after
ward, Quirin’s chiropractor told
her to do stretching exercises.
“Why am I seeing the chiro
practor when I can do the same
with yoga?” Quirin asked herself.
At age 26, Quirin traveled to
Nepal and became even more in
terested in yoga. After studying in
Nepal, Quirin returned to the
United States and decided to
teach, which she has been doing
for 15 years total and six years at
the University.
“Yoga is a science — the sci
ence of internal awareness, which
is pretty much self-observation,”
Quirin said. “When you bring
awareness, you also bring energy
to your body.”
“The only thing you can do
wrong is compete, even with
yourself.”
Lindsay Backman, 19, a student
from the Hatha Yoga class, said
she enjoys the complete workout.
“I feel relaxed, free from stress,”
she said. “I like the teacher a lot;
she knows yoga.”
As the class comes to an end,
Quirin clutches her palms togeth
er and bows her head forward,
saying, “Namaste,” which means,
“The holy in me bows to the holy
in you.”
