A yoga relaxation class held in South Gym on Dec. 4, 2023 marks the first event of DeStress Fest, a four-day event at City College.
Each fall and spring semester, the Clubs and Events Board (CAEB) holds a DeStress Fest focused on students’ mental health. The theme is around relaxation and unwinding anxiety a week before finals.
“A student’s welfare is important, if we can’t get comfortable around students’ mental health, how are we supposed to succeed in college?” Student and president of CAEB Kyle Felver said.
Yoga relaxation was taught by Marques Gales, a professor of kinesiology, who said that Monday’s class was geared toward all levels of yoga, mainly beginners. Tuesday’s event was therapy dogs, followed by Wednesday’s art day and concluding on Thursday with Game Truck.
