Sometimes there were just two mats joining hers; sometimes there were eight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was hot yoga for a couple of Thursdays in July and August,\u201d joked\u00a0 Harvey, who has led yoga sessions on campus in the past.<\/p>\n<p>But in October, the setting is just right, almost idyllic as the group members practice their warrior pose with the sun setting, and a neighbor father-toddler duo riding their bikes up and down the street.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica Pierce, Health and Human Performance academic advisor and a Master of Public Health student, lives nearby. For her, the weekly yoga sessions have helped her mental health during a stressful year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a lot of things. It\u2019s been good because, since I\u2019m pregnant, I haven\u2019t really gone anywhere,\u201d Pierce said. \u201cIt\u2019s been nice to come and have social interaction and a mental break once a week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the end of the fall semester just weeks away, driveway yoga has ended for now. But Harvey plans to bring it back next spring.
