CCSU is having students, faculty and staff twisting and bending in all sorts of ways with the yoga classes that are sponsored by CCSU’s Counseling & Wellness Center. The class is designed to help faculty, students and staff relieve stress and get in touch with ways to relax and exercise, free of charge.

“The Counseling & Wellness Center sponsors Yoga classes as a way to promote wellness in a stressful world,” said Victoria Ginter, associate director of the Counseling & Wellness Center.

The class will be run by yoga instructor Jeffrey Zweig,  who according to Ginter is excellent at his job, serving a large following of yoga clients. The class is all-level and suitable for beginners, but welcome to all, including advanced students. The classes consist of a combination of gentle exercise, stretching and de-stressing.

The classes will take place on Monday’s from 12 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. in the Student Center, with the room possibly changing from week to week. Anyone interested in participating can check the room location at the Student Center Information Desk, Central Pipeline or by e-mail announcements. No registration is required, yet each class may have a maximum number of people given the room that it is located in.

“So first come, first serve and find a space on the floor,” said Ginter.
