Yoga at the Oregon Hill Overlook

Sarah Pentecost
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at VCU chapter.

VCU student Macy Abbott was recently a guest contributor to Her Campus VCU’s blog with her article “Why Yoga is Good for Your Mind, Body & Health” and was gracious enough to lead a yoga class for the team and their guests! Live background music (thanks to David Brunson and Trey Hall, also VCU students), burning incense and the setting sun created the mood for the class as everyone arrived around 7 p.m. For about an hour, Macy led us in deep breathing, stretching and meditation. It was the perfect mid-week stress reliever!
