                       Tuesday, December 21, 2010

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Micah Springer for her outstanding service to our community.
   For Micah, Yoga is the means to express passion, joy, sorrow and all 
aspects of vitality. Her studio began in 1999 in the basement of her 
home and has grown to a three facility business.
   In her Golden studio, Micah is collaborating with the Colorado 
School of Mines. She learned of the high suicide rate among college 
students, and saw an opportunity to provide a meditative, non-
competitive activity. She has created a Yoga program that counts for 
school credit and introduces young people to the benefits of Yoga.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Micah Springer for being 
honored by the West Chamber serving Jefferson County. I have no doubt 
she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all her future 
accomplishments.
