<p>Hey,</p>

<p>As I plan on applying to Duke this fall, I want to draw upon some aspects of Duke that I have looked into. Particularly, I have been a fitness kind of guy not in the sense of D1 athletecism or huge weightlifting but rather in the 'keeping in shape' technique through yoga and workouts. I had actually worked in an underpriveleged area in another country, where I had facilitated my own fitness camp for small kids teaching yoga and basic gym workouts. In my app, I want to draw upon my Yoga skills as a way to promote a healthy atmosphere at Duke. I do not think it is a common activity that applicants mention. But as far as Duke goes, I have heard that Duke has these ProHealth, drug-free dorms. These seem like the places to mention my contribution in an overall health way. I am also a dancer, who plans to send a tape in, so I basically sort of learned Pilates yoga and other techniques from dance and external resources that I soon became more proficient at it. So any other ways I can bring out this skill into the duke Environment..?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>I was thinking about takinga yoga or calisthenics class but they begin too early and seem tiring...i didn't see a pilates class, but that one was prolly already filled</p>

<p>but you'll find Duke people are very healthy, and there's lots of rooms dedicated to student led activities.</p>

<p>do you think it would be good to mention this in apps in terms of my yoga contributions?</p>

<p>Yeah, of course, it sounds pretty cool</p>
