CRESTVIEW — A local personal trainer wants to help people, particularly Okaloosa County School District staffers, unwind from the work day.
“(Yoga) helps calm the mind,” personal trainer and Crestview resident JT Boss said. "It's a big stress reliever."
School staffers can participate in an hour of yoga on Thursday in the Crestview Public Library's conference room.
Participants will learn how to relax, stretch and breathe, Boss said.
After serving in the U.S. Air Force for 28 years, Boss has focused on personal training with Crestview Strengthworks, his mobile business.
Boss said he got the idea for afterschool Crestview yoga sessions from a yoga studio that offers a similar service to Niceville High School teachers.
Although the event is scheduled to benefit area teachers and school staff, Boss said the event is open to everyone.
Boss said he hopes the yoga session will be the first of many after-school gatherings.
