We're in the Final Stretch of A-Term (pun intended)

Today we began our day with an exciting seminar about the last part of our book. We all came to class with questions we had after completing our book. Our seminar was thought-provoking and was definitely a great way to start the morning. 

After our our seminar we had some much appreciated open work time to prepare our presentations for later in the day. We used our mindfulness techniques to keep ourselves of track and some of us practiced a few yoga poses throughout our time working and during lunch to stretch our bodies after working over computer! Yoga is a beautiful thing! After lunch and little bit more open work time, it was time for two presentations. 

First, Grace A. gave an engaging presentation about how Buddhism changed women's role in society. 

And our next presentation was about Chinese Meridian Theory, by Kirby. We learned about acupuncture and how Qi flows through the body and into organs. 

Lastly, we practiced yoga with our favorite YouTube yogi, Adrien. It felt great to stretch out our bodies after a long day of independent research and listening to or giving presentations. Overall, today was a very productive day for the Eastern Disciplines A-term group! We each learned a lot through our own exploration of topics that interest us and our classmates teaching us. We had a great second to last day of A-Term and I'm looking forward to learning more from my classmates tomorrow!
