Power Yoga Comes to Ash Fork High School
This quarter, Ash Fork High School introduced its very first Power Yoga class, taught by English teacher Staci Martin. Ms. Martin, who has been teaching high school English for 11 years, also holds advanced yoga certifications, including a 200-hour certificate earned in Tucson, Arizona (2014) and a 500-hour certificate earned in Kathmandu, Nepal (2018).
Power Yoga is a dynamic, strength-based style of yoga that builds stamina, flexibility, and focus. Recently, the class has also been exploring Yin Yoga, a slower-paced style focused on stretching connective tissues and cultivating patience. Together, these practices provide both challenge and calm for students.
The class meets every Monday and Wednesday, earning students PE credit while also giving them the opportunity to graduate with a yoga teaching certificate—a credential typically valued at around $3,000.
For many students, yoga is more than just exercise. Arlette S. shared, “I always look forward to yoga; it has helped me with stress and sports!” Eva A. added, “Yoga is my favorite because it helps me relax from all the stressful college classes I am taking.”
Others emphasized the mental benefits. Gabby G. explained, “Yoga helps me be stress-free because it releases the tension I have accumulated throughout the week.” And Laney T. described it as a personal retreat: “Yoga helps me because it’s a time when I don’t have to be anyone or think of anything; I can just breathe and relax in this space.”
With Power Yoga now part of the curriculum, Ash Fork students are discovering a practice that builds strength, stillness, and self-confidence—skills that extend far beyond the yoga mat.
