Cullman County has one of the most unique yoga studios in the United States. The activities at the studio combines traditional aspects of physical Yoga with Christian and spiritual elements such as scripture readings, devotional thoughts, and biblical verbiage during sessions.
Started by Debbie Leopard, Cullman's Santosha Yoga came about as a dream fulfilled for this long-time yoga practitioner. Santosha means 'Contentment' in the ancient Sanskrit language.
Founded by Leopard and a partner in July 2014, the original yoga studio was just that: a common yoga studio. After the partnership dissolved and Debbie re-dedicated her life to Christ in August 2014, she transitioned the studio into a Faith-based facility offering a wide range of classes ranging from Kids Yoga to Beginner Yoga to BUTI (Yoga combined with Tribal dance).
Cullman's Santosha Yoga also offers FAITHFLO classes which allows students to Praise Christ through the movements of their bodies.
Debbie has been consistently practicing various forms of yoga for 19 years. She has been teaching the art for 6 years. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) through the Yoga Alliance with 200 hours of accredited training.
Cullman Today recently visited Debbie at her studio and learned about her history and enthusiasm for yoga:
"I love the way my body feels after a good class. Relaxed and restored. I love the energy boost I get. But most of all the peacefulness of it. Non-competitive just letting your body stretch to its limits. And as a teacher to see a student achieve a goal. Well that's the icing on the cake."
That first image is of Bernice. She is a 90 years old student at the yoga center. If she can do this, so can you!

A couple sets of Adafruit neopixel rings will provide illumination. I know I could have crammed this full of white bulbs, but for the price these are just so easy to install.

Ahh, the snake plant. Also known as the mother-in-law's tongue due to its sharpness.
My viewpoint is looking down into the center of the plant and thankfully I didn't poke my eye out.

This is the base of the big cupola furnace at Griffin Pipe where the air was blown into the base. The cupola furnace is loaded up with raw materials like a carbon source (coke, coal or charcoal), lime, iron ore (incorrect -- these furnaces couldn't reduce iron ore to elemental iron; they were designed to melt scrap metal and pig iron only) and other metals and then run with the updraft. The steel was taken out the bottom. The ring of pipes around the furnace are the tuyeres that blow air into the coke layer to support combustion.
Follow Up: Here's a wikipedia article that outlines the use of cupola furnaces fairly nicely:

This one was a larger specimen about 10 feet in diameter (inside, outside is much larger) unit. They are apparently generally described in terms of their diameter. This one was equipped with a large adjacent stack for cooling and processing the off-gases, unlike the old, smaller development unit at U.S. Pipe.
Ken Schuler and I got a chance to visit a scrap supplier who has the job of demolishing some historic old steel mills: U.S. Pipe and Griffin Pipe. The steel company I work for will be buying the scrap generated by the demo.
