Chief of GMAC Insurance division resigns
Posted: at 5:20 am
The chief executive of GMAC Insurance's personal-lines division, Larry Pentis, has resigned, the company confirmed Friday.
Pentis was named as chief executive when a subsidiary of AmTrust Financial Services Inc. completed its purchase of the GMAC division in March 2010.
"Larry Pentis will be leaving his position," AmTrust said in a statement. "We appreciate Larry's efforts and contributions over the past two years, and we wish him the best in his future endeavors."
The company declined to comment beyond its statement. Pentis could not be located for comment.
The company said Byron Storms has been named as president of GMAC Insurance and would be based in Winston-Salem. AmTrust recently bought California-based Clearside General, where Storms served as chief executive.
The company did not say who would serve as chief executive of GMAC Insurance.
Storms has served as executive director of Farmers Insurance and also managed personal-lines businesses for Foremost and Bristol West Insurance.
"Byron brings energy, vision and passion for excellence to GMAC Insurance," the company said.
Pentis' resignation is the latest development involving GMAC Insurance.
About 700 local employees have been bracing for months for the company to announce whether it will keep its operations in Winston-Salem or move them to Cleveland.

Laughter yoga class in Dunedin has students in stitches
Posted: at 5:16 am
DUNEDIN Laughter echoed down the hall of the Dunedin Community Center, luring the ears of visitors. In one room stood a dozen casually clad adults, mostly women, who looked into each other's eyes, clapped their hands and roared with laughter.
"Ho ho ha ha ha ho ho ha ha ha," the group chanted in a mantra-like fashion.
This is the laughter yoga class, which was brought to the center last year by Sparky Lovejoy, a 46-year-old single mom.
"Eye contact makes laughter contagious," she said. "It feels good, and it's healthy."
How healthy? The former Hatha yoga instructor from California touts numerous health benefits such as relieving stress, improving the immune system and connecting to others purely on the basis of a good laugh.
Participants in Lovejoy's class, whose ages span six decades, attest to the benefits they have received since letting loose with some hearty laughter.
Nicole Kennedy, at 32 the youngest member of the class, is expecting her first child in August. Laughing with others relieves her anxiety.
"I have a sense of confidence that nothing can knock me down right now," she said.
Lovejoy has mapped out a number of ways to induce laughter during the 45-minute sessions.
"You want to laugh and feel silly?" she asked. "Take out your cell phone and laugh into it!"

AntiGravity Yoga at Westminster College brings new dimension to yoga practice
Posted: at 5:16 am
SALT LAKE CITY Some people at Westminster College are seeing the world upside down and flying through the air, all while getting a good workout.
Thats because they are practicing AntiGravity Yoga.
Its a fusion fitness technique derived from aerial arts, Pilates, calisthenics and dance. Students use silk hammocks, suspended from the ceiling like a swing or trapeze, to perform zero-compression inversions and stretches.
This suspension fitness program was created by Broadway aerial choreographer Christopher Harrison in 2008, and Westminster College is the only school in the world to launch an AntiGravity Yoga program.
Tamer Begum, Harrisons nephew and a Westminster senior, brought the program to the school last fall after discovering it a year ago when his uncle was in town for teacher training. After taking the class and studying with several yoga instructors, he was hooked and felt he had to bring it back to Westminster. Within three months, Begum said they had 150 students come into the studio.
Begum said the classes can help those who suffer from back and neck pain.
The majority of the students that come to class find that by hanging upside down, utilizing the hammocks to do zero-compression inversions, it actually helps decrease their acute and chronic back pain much more significantly than they would find in a regular yoga class, he said.
A lot of people think yoga classes are only for those who are young and in good shape, he said. But thats not the case with AntiGravity Yoga. Begum wants people who are not currently active or maybe a little overweight or a little uncomfortable to come to the group classes.
I love those people because after every single class the students feel like they are successful with their practice, he said. They leave (saying), Oh, you know, that was fun, actually.' 'I did a flip my first practice,' or, 'That was a great leg stretch.
He also found people who are older can benefit from the class as well. He said they like it because they are able to hold onto an apparatus for support when they are doing more challenging yoga poses, and they dont need a block or strap like in regular yoga.
