The past month was nothing but stormy and humid. Stormy weather is best for lounging in cozy beds and warm armchairs reading a book or watching your favorite sitcom, but this isn’t how I view it. Sounds of thunder and raindrops tell me it’s time for meditation and yoga. Yoga has come to a new level over past few years. This type of physical routine evolved from regular stretching and breathing techniques to what we now call a sport that can help you to keep your body and soul in shape while losing weight and building muscles. A couple of years ago, I visited a yoga class close to my house, and left with good results. My back was feeling much better and I was more flexible than a piece of wood. From that, I now see yoga from a new angle. As a member of LA Fitness, my first yoga class was there. An hour-long class left me sore for the next couple of days. Honestly, I underestimated this sport. I had my regular workout before the class and thought that I would relax with yoga. As you guessed the relaxation part took 5 minutes at the end of yoga class. That was only enough for me to take a breath, get up and go home to take a horizontal position, preparing for the next class. A while after starting, the summer weather came in with its hot and humid days. It is dangerous to workout outside during this type of weather, and to me, doing weights indoors is boring. Looking for a new outlet for my workouts, I found Bikram or hot yoga. This type of yoga is an unbelievable mixture of hot air, yoga postures and muscle work. I’ve only done it once, with my sister, and I had an unexpected experience. I was dressed in regular gym attire and was not prepared at all for high temperatures, humidity levels and twisted postures. After the class was over, I was done too. I had never sweat so much from yoga, but the feeling is worth of it. I later found out that during the class, we accomplished a “designed sequence of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises taught in 105 degree heat with 40% humidity.” Impressive, don’t you think?! I strongly recommend you to visit the website for this club (The Hot Room Indianapolis; indybikramyoga.com), and get more information. I know that hot yoga sounds unappealing, but it is worth a shot. If you try it, you wont regret it.

In 2013 the Jaguars made their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Last season the Jaguars, who went 19-14 overall (11-3 Summit), won the conference championship before losing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against then-No.4 Missouri. Returning starters include junior outside hitter Kaitlyn Hickey and senior defensive specialist Beth Howard. Hickey was named to the All-Tournament Team and was an All-Conference Performer in 2013. She ranked No. 5 in the conference for kills, with an average 3.39 per set and No.1 non-libero for digs, with an average of 3.21 per set. Howard was 2013 Summit Defensive Player of the Year and was also an All-Conference Performer last season. The men’s cross country team, which placed third in the Summit Conference and 11 th in the NCAA Regionals in 2013, welcomes back all of its runners, along with a new member, Tom Ohlman. Ohlman, a graduate student who ran for Xavier University as an undergraduate, joins the Jaguars in their quest for a Summit League Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. Ohlman, considered one of the best runners in Xavier’s history, held five individual school records and made two appearances in the NCAA Regionals. Returning to the Jaguars are First Team All-Summit League juniors Joey Zielinski and Sam Roudebush. Last season, Zielinski broke the program record in the 10k with a time of 31:22 at the NCAA Regional meet. He also was named team MVP and co-captain. Head coach Chuck Koeppen said he expects great things this fall. “Having everyone back from last year’s great team, along with the addition of Ohlman, we should have the best team ever assembled here at IUPUI,” Koeppen said. The women’s cross country team starts its season with its largest group of freshmen ever. The Jaguars, who placed fourth in the Summit League in 2013, added 15 freshmen to the roster this season, for a total of 26 runners. The team has more than doubled from the 11 runners head coach Tony McDaniel had when he took over in 2011. “This is, by far, the most talented class in the program’s history,” McDaniel said. “It would be easy for me to take all the credit for bringing in this class, but I think our current team deserves most of the credit.” Leading the Jaguars as captains are: seniors Jordan Hanaway and Amy Mattingly and sophomore Savannah Turner. McDaniel expects the captains to inspire the team and help achieve this season’s goals, which include finishing in the top three in the Summit League Championships and, hopefully, becoming conference champions, which is something the IUPUI women’s cross country program has yet to achieve. “The big thing we need to work on to accomplish our team goals, especially the athletic ones, is truly believing in ourselves,” McDaniel said. “We have to start the season believing we’re capable of winning a conference championship. It will be my responsibility and my captains’ to help instill in this team that they’re capable of achieving this feat.” The IUPUI men’s soccer team starts its 2014 season with 12 newcomers. The Jaguars lost nine players from last season, when the team’s record was 2-12-5 (2-2-2 Summit), and have added 10 freshmen and two sophomores to the lineup. Sophomore defender Maximiliano Schenfeld, a transfer student from Florida Memorial, made 12 starts at his former school and finished the season with two goals and two assists. Key returners are junior midfielder Lance Davis and junior goalkeeper Eduardo Cortes. Davis was voted Second Team All-Summit League in 2013. He made 13 starts and finished the season with two goals and an assist. Cortes also was voted Second Team All-Summit League last season. He was the Jaguars’ No.1 goalie with 83 saves and three shutouts. This year, the women’s soccer team hopes to end its no post- season streak and make it to the Summit League championship. The Jaguars, who ranked sixth place last season with a 5-9- 5 (1-4-2) record, haven’t been to the conference tournament in the past five years. “Our main goal for the upcoming season is to make the conference tournament,” head coach Chris Johnson said. “It has been five years since we have made the tournament and I think we have a group of young ladies who are capable of finishing in the top four and qualifying for the tournament.” The Jaguars have added 10 freshmen to the roster. The new faces will be joined by team leaders: senior midfielders Taylor Heidorn and Anna Rode, senior defender Brenna Parks, and junior midfielder Grace Perkowitz. VS. XAVIER Sept. 2 at Michael A.

Men’s Cross Country:
The men’s cross country team, which placed third in the Summit Conference and 11th in the NCAA Regionals in 2013, welcomes back all of its runners, along with a new member, Tom Ohlman. Ohlman, a graduate student who ran for Xavier University as an undergraduate, joins the Jaguars in their quest for a Summit League Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance.
