Yoga has never been my thing. Before I came to Cornell, the extent of my abilities in yoga was being able to do child’s pose. I can’t say that it has changed since then, but I have gone to a couple of yoga events at Rose. It is a very different way to try and push yourself to do something that you’re not used to and, in my case, something you’re not very good at. However, I have definitely felt more relaxed after each time that I have gone to a yoga event, this time being no different.

I believe that events like yoga at Rose show the interest that the house has in promoting good mental health. Especially with an exam period coming up, it is a welcome break to be able to take the mind off of classes. For me, it was a good way to de-stress after turning a paper in that morning. While yoga is not something that I would do regularly, I do enjoy having the opportunity to do it whenever Rose offers it.
