SSC to Offer Yoga Class in August

Josh Hutton

Seminole State College will offer a lunchtime “Desk-Jockey Yoga” class from Aug. 2 to Aug. 9. The class focuses on relaxing, refreshing, and undoing some of the damage caused by sitting in front of a computer at home or at work. Sitting for long periods of time may impact shoulders, the upper back, and chest. As people fatigue, often their shoulders roll forward, their upper back rounds, and the muscles in the front of their chest tighten.
