Zoom Yoga Sessions for UMW Employees
Campus Recreation’s traditional yoga class has converted to an online format for the first session this fall. This program is exclusively for UMW employees and is 5 weeks long.
Now more than ever, it is important to make time in your day for a break from sitting upright in a chair, get some stretches in, and move your body. Can’t make a few of the workouts? That’s okay! There’s no penalty for missing a few classes. We understand that it’s tough to commit to all 10 meetings. Just remember: some scheduled movement in your day is better than no movement!
Below are the details about the employee yoga class. Please register by September 7!
