Mary Beth Klopp teaches one of her yoga classes at Dance Dynamics in Ruscombmanor Township, which she has three times a week.
Finding one's center is an important tenet of yoga. And sometimes you never know what might prove to be inspirational on that transcendent journey.

Mary Beth Klopp, 53, of Rockland Township has been a yoga instructor for 16 years. She has an unlikely source in her life that has enriched her yoga practice and instruction: her horse named Alo.

"He's my teacher right now," she said of the thoroughbred she found at the rescue farm Another Chance 4 Horses in North Heidelberg Township in 2009. "He's just deepening what I do in yoga, and I just bring it back in the class with me."

Before she was even aware of the impact Alo would have on her life, she gave him a name that is very suited given his role.
