SUNY Oneonta Students Volunteer at EDD Adaptive Sports Yoga Class

In October, two SUNY Oneonta students volunteered as yoga instructors during a five-week EDD Adaptive Sports class. The class, held in the Alumni Field House dance studio on campus, saw more than 20 EDD athletes in attendance. First-year students Rose Dailey and Sofia Demaris helped weekly with set up, breakdown and supporting the athletes.

"I greatly enjoyed watching the athletes interact with the students," said Dr. Katherine Christison, assistant professor of exercise science and the class instructor. "Watching and mirroring the students' poses helped the athletes feel comfortable and confident with their own skills. Sofia and Rose brought such positive presences to the space and helped the athletes feel at home in the class."
