On Saturday, Zach Banner and other current members of the USC football team joined Trojan Outreach and UpRising Yoga for Trojan Zen.
Banner won the USC Football Community Service Award this season and was awarded a grant to put together an event of his choosing. Banner has discovered a passion for yoga during his training for the NFL and he wanted to help educate local children on the mental and physical benefits.
The children from After School All-Stars and School On Wheels learned classic moves like "Warrior Pose" and how to create serenity wherever they are. Afterwards, the children got to keep their yoga mats and lined up for autographs and selfies with Banner and other football players such as Jordan Austin and Nico Falah.
