Hello! I've been practicing yoga for several years and even attended a few workshops. Is it possible to list it as an extracurricular activity on my college application? I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you!
Hi there! Absolutely, practicing yoga can be considered an extracurricular activity on college applications. Colleges value well-rounded applicants who engage in a variety of activities, both inside and outside of the classroom.
In fact, listing yoga as an extracurricular activity shows your dedication to maintaining physical and mental wellbeing. It's even better that you've attended workshops, which demonstrates a deeper commitment and genuine interest in the practice.
When you list this activity, be sure to provide details about what you've learned, how much time you devote to it, and any leadership roles or achievements you may have in the yoga community.
