Yoga De-Stress Series
Let’s de-stress with some yoga this quarter! Back by popular demand, EvCC’s Trojan Activities Board is bringing you a series of FREE Yoga Sessions! These classes are good for all levels of experience. You can sign-up for one or all of the following:
De-Stress Yoga: “New Year, New Me-ow!”
Wednesday, Jan. 13 @ 7-8pm
It’s a new year and a new quarter. 2020 wasn’t the best year, so let’s start off 2021 on better terms. Of course, with a new year comes a new quarter of school at EvCC. Whether you’re a current student starting new classes or you’re a new student in a new environment, both can be really stressful and not give us the best start. Let’s join Sophia Dodd in a one hour online de-stress yoga class via zoom on Wednesday, January 13th at 7pm to 8pm to take a moment to relax the tension we hold. This event is suitable for anybody, including those who have never stepped foot into (or logged in online to) a yoga class. Yoga has been proven to help people relax their bodies and minds which provides more motivation to those who participate. The relaxing atmosphere will help us all feel ready to start this year and quarter off on positive terms.
De-Stress Yoga: “Virtual Date Night!”
Friday, Feb. 12 @ 7-8pm
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to celebrate love, but being about halfway through the quarter puts a lot of stress on ourselves. This event will give us the opportunity to invite someone we love, whether it be a significant other, best friend, or family member, to virtually de-stress together with some yoga instructed by Sophia Dodd on Friday, February 12th at 7pm to 8pm. The uncertainty some people feel with COVID-19 can add to their stress as well, especially with being unable to see the people they love. We want to change that by providing this event and space to celebrate being together with the people we love virtually and taking the time to release stress from our bodies and minds. This event is perfect for any level of skill, even if you have never done yoga before. Yoga is shown to make people feel happier, increase concentration, and gives people peace of mind. These are all beneficial to help us get through the rest of the quarter with a positive mindset.
De-Stress Yoga: “Namaste Calm!”
Monday, March 15 @ 7-8pm
As we come near to the end of the quarter we see finals approaching. The thought of finals is enough to make someone begin to stress themselves out. Finals make it difficult to keep our bodies and minds in a calm state, but we can use the practice and techniques of yoga instructed by Sophia Dodd to help with that. Join us the night before finals start to prepare your body and mind for the final week of the quarter. Feeling relaxed from doing yoga can help you concentrate and make you feel more motivated to do well on your final exams and projects. There’s no need to have any previous yoga experience, just bring yourself and have a small space to move around in on Monday, March 15th at 7pm to 8pm. Let’s make this final week (and final yoga class of this quarter) count and release all the negative energy that may be held inside and embrace the positive energy that will be spread in the atmosphere of this event.
