6:00 PM EST | Yoga Nidra Session for Relaxation

 

During this time of social distancing, and for a welcomed break for Finals Week, Preeti Nema, a graduate student from MSBAPM, will conduct a 30 minute online Yoga session for breathing exercises and relaxation. Yoga Nidra (sleep meditation) is a practice of rotating awareness to areas of stress for conscious relaxation and deep nourishment. Nema is a certified instructor in Hatha Yoga.

6:30 PM EST | Netflix Watch Party & Post Film Discussion: Lionheart

 

Looking to take a break after finals, but still looking to be globally engaged? Lionheart is a 2018 Nigerian drama film, and the first Netflix original film to be produced in Nigeria. Join Irvine Peck's-Agaya for a viewing and short-post movie discussion about major themes in the movie.

Film Synopsis: "Running a company can be challenging, especially if you are a female in a male-dominated industry. Looking to prove her worth, Adaeze steps up to the challenge when her father is forced to take a step back due to health issues."

4:00 PM EST | Relaxation and Conversation with Global Gateways

 

Global Gateways, a program under the Asian American Cultural Center (AsACC), will be leading simple activities and allow participants to follow along while we discuss how they are adjusting and coping with quarantine. As this session will be interactive and offer students a space to talk about their experiences, this session will not be recorded.
