Kristal Perry-Gutierrez teaches "Healing Through Yoga" at Namaste Yoga Center in Springfield, Ill.
She received her master's degree in human development counseling from the University of Illinois Springfield. She was a yoga student at the time and decided to incorporate yoga into her master's project.
"I decided to do yoga with children who had been sexually abused. I did a yoga course for eight weeks, twice a week with girls between the ages of 7 and 11," she says. The girls gave her feedback with comments like, "Yoga helps you get the bad stuff out," and "Yoga helps you be less afraid."
"It was a qualitative study, and the results were pretty significant," she says.

New UIS athletic director is on the job
Tuesday was the first day on the job for recently-hired University of Illinois Springfield Prairie Stars athletic director Kim Pate.
She took over as acting athletics director. On Aug. 16, she’ll drop the word acting from her job title.
When UIS announced Pate as the school’s new athletic director earlier this month, she was eager to assess the athletic department. She has no choice but to hit the ground running since fall sports teams begin practicing in a little over two weeks.

UIS student travels to Kenya for summer
Amanda Cummins, 19, of Cedarville is forever humbled by the blessings in her life after taking a mission trip to help children at an orphanage in Kenya.
Cummins said the “life-changing” experience has left an imprint on both her heart and mind. She said she will never forget the look on the faces of the children she helped during her 18-day mission to the impoverished part of Kenya in June.
Cummins traveled with a mission team that she got involved with while attending her first year of college at the University of Illinois Springfield. This local Christian teen sought out students through Christian fellowship. It was here she first learned about an organization called “Jump for Joel.”
