4. Hang out with friends
Let’s be honest: between countless midterms, assignments, shifts at work, volunteer commitments, and sports, being a student can be challenging and lonely at times! Take a break from the work and sweat it out with your friends.
5. Learn more about yoga
Take the time to learn about the spiritual and cultural practices of yoga and its history! We’ll be having educational boards about the benefits of yoga and the cultural significance. Yoga developed over 5000 years ago in Northern India, so come out to our event to learn more about its rich history.
6. Good vibes and music
They say music feeds the soul, so why not indulge yourself a little? We’ll be playing some great music all night long to go along with the fun, festivities, and yoga. Spots are filled on a first come first serve basis.
7. Win free yoga classes
