Yoga Helps Students Think Clearly

By: Nick Camper

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark – The University of Arkansas offers several ways to better your mind.

Pat Walker Health Center offers free yoga classes for students every week.

The purpose of these classes are to create a safe space for students who suffer from anxiety and stress.

“If you’re constantly being pushed up and down, whenever you’re able to have tools that can relax your central nervous system, and let you kind of recharge or reboot in a sense, then it can be really powerful for you to actually eventually in the moment of stress, be able to choose a different route,” said Kati Street, a Pat Walker Wellness Instructor.

The exercises develop mindfulness which can strengthen focus in class and at work.

The Mindful Flow Yoga class is every Wednesday at 5pm in the Wellness Center.
