That’s what the South Lawns look like, right?

What: Yoga

When: Tuesday’s at 6pm (now until October 11th)

Where: South Lawns, Butler Library (rain location: Dodge Fitness Center, Blue Gym)

Why: Because this is an Ivy so there’s an inherent assumption that everyone’s stressed? Seems fake but okay.

The Office of University Life at Columbia has partnered with Columbia Physical Education & Recreation, the Columbia student group, “Art of Living,” and Alice! Health Promotion to bring you yoga on the lawns!

From the announcement on their site:

Take time for a mindful, stress-reducing, and fun break! The Office of University Life hosts free, open-level yoga classes every Tuesday, September 13 through October 11th on the South Lawns—just in time for sunset. Take a moment and breathe, for well-being and community.

Your instructors:

Ben Lombardo, (GS ’08) recently completed a post-bac pre-med program and has been teaching yoga at Columbia since 2009.

Jessica Harrington, a Columbia University physical education associate (since 2007) and Barnard College fitness instructor. She has been Yoga certified since 2005 via The Laughing Lotus.
