Periodically, the Watertown High School track and field team will take a break from running and hit the yoga mat as a part of their training regimen.

Assistant track coach Megan Diduca first brought some of the girls track athletes over last year, and last spring she brought some of the boys track team members. “”We love it,” Diduca said. “We do extra strength training so it is not always running.

Watertown Yoga Studio Has a “Nift”-y Way of Thanking Loyal Customers
