Relax and unwind at a free yoga class for faculty and staff. Each Wednesday afternoon through April 25, employees can take advantage of a yoga session at the Duarte campus.

Classes run from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m., but participants should arrive at 5:15 p.m. to review and sign a waiver before starting class.

Participants should dress in layers and wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing, such as sweatpants, leggings or shorts. A shawl or towel can help participants stay warm as their bodies cool down toward the end of the class. Bring a yoga mat or two thick towels, as well as some water, and avoid a heavy meal for at least an hour before the class.

The class is organized by Lia Aquino, clinical research associate. The location is still being determined; contact Aquino at ext. 61107 to find out the class site.
