Hey all! I'm a junior who's really into yoga and have been practicing for a few years now. Can I list yoga as an extracurricular activity on my college applications? Thanks in advance!
Hi there! It's great to hear that you're passionate about yoga. Yes, you can definitely list yoga as an extracurricular activity on your college applications.
Extracurricular activities encompass pretty much anything you do outside of the classroom that you're invested in, as long as it takes up a considerable amount of time and effort. Yoga is something that can have a significant impact on your physical and mental well-being, and colleges value students who engage in healthy habits and maintain a balanced lifestyle.
When listing yoga on your application, you might want to describe how often you practice, any leadership roles or teaching you've taken on within your yoga community, and any noteworthy achievements with your practice.
Good luck with your applications, and I hope yoga continues to be a positive force in your life!
