Yoga's adaptability makes it perfect for college students of every stripe.
At the University of Illinois, many students report being enamored with yoga. Why is the holistic regimen so popular among college students? According to the school's official newspaper, the Daily Illini, it's because yoga's soothing breathing techniques and ki energy manipulation allows stress to melt away.
This effect – which can be felt in classes in Champaign-Urbana, beginner's Chicago yoga groups and everywhere in between – is based on the regimen's attention to the mind-body connection.
That's what yoga director Deb Lister told the news source, explaining that among students, the link between the mental and physical selves is often in need of healing. She added that yoga's adaptability makes it perfect for college students of every stripe.
"The practice of yoga is about listening to what comes up to the surface when practicing – feelings, sensations, thoughts," Lister said, quoted by the newspaper. "The beauty of a yoga practice is that it can be modified to meet most anyone's challenges."
That's certainly true of Dahn Yoga, which is as popular among college students as it is among adults, kids and the elderly.
