DONT PANIC COVERDON’T PANIC!
How to Use Yoga to
Survive the College Experience

 It’s tough to find the time and energy to take care of yourself during college. Feeling stressed and overwhelmed can threaten your chances of creating a healthy, balanced life. Don’t Panic! shows you how to use yoga techniques to cope—and even to thrive.

Developing positive habits can have a resounding effect on not just your physical wellness but also your mental and emotional health. These tips and practices will lead to improved productivity, as well as better retention of studied material.
While there are instructional yoga books aimed at veterans, corporate employees, and pregnant women (among many others), college students face a unique set of challenges, and you need a specialized solution.
