She proved to be such a popular four-legged yogini last year that the Department of World Languages and Cultures will present Yoga with Lola again this semester.
Sessions with the department’s emotional support dog will take place in Memorial Field House Room 2420:
Lola, the emotional support dog of the Department of World Languages and Cultures, presided over a yoga session in December. Two sessions were held to help students and employees relax and take a mental health break before finals last semester.
• Wednesday, March 25, from 3 to 4 p.m.; and
• Tuesday and Wednesday, April 28 and 29, from 2 to 3 p.m.
Charlene Gary, secretary in the World Languages and Cultures Department, and certified yoga instructor, will lead the sessions.
“We invite students and employees to bring their mats to an easy flow yoga class. No experience or flexibility is needed,” Gary said. “Or feel free to bring a blanket to meditate.”
Lola also will be accepting visitors during the sessions.
“Stop by to meet Lola and take a break,” Gary said. “Research shows pets have amazing healing powers, including lowering blood pressure and calming anxiety. Take a few minutes out of your busy schedules to make a new friend or two.”
Those who wish to reserve a space for their mats are asked to visit the Yoga With Lola website.
