A local woman has opened a studio in Guilford to teach yoga.
Suzette Hayes has completed a 200-hour course at the Kripalu Yoga and Health Center in Stockbridge, Mass., a media release said.
Hayes said she graduated and was certified Feb. 5. Her classes include gentle yoga, yoga with dance moves and other sessions for children and adults, the release said, and her Gospel Hill Road studio offers a ``rural, peaceful and scenic'' setting.
"Yoga is a physical technique which helps to tone the body and calm the mind, allowing one to deal with the pressures of our world,'' she said in a prepared statement. ``As we become calmer, healthier and more peaceful, we are able to be more creative, productive and happier."
