Beyond the Mat

The full title for the Yoga Winterim is "Yoga Beyond the Mat."  The "Beyond the Mat" part takes various forms.  They have had speakers come to them here at LA to talk about nutrition and meditation, they have taken field trips off campus and attended various workshops off campus.

For example, yesterday the Yoga group went to Groton Wellness and participated in a three-hour cooking workshop. They learned to cook with fresh and organic foods.  On another day earlier this week, they also learned about shopping for organic foods at the nearby Groton Natural Market.

Today, Thursday, the group traveled to Hollis, NH where they learned a different form of yoga called Kundalini. This afternoon they did Ashtanga Yoga and tomorrow they will visit Durga Yoga Studio in Harvard, MA to learn Prana Flow, a form of yoga centered around the universal rhythms of life.  Two other forms they have learned over these two weeks are Baptiste Yoga and Hath/Vinyasa Yoga.

The students in Yoga have definitely gone "beyond the mat" these two weeks.

Critics out on the town!

So far, in week two of Everyone's A Critic, we've gone to the MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA, to the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, to see Raisin in the Sun at the Huntington Theatre Company, to Beehive Restaurant in the south end of Boston, and to Clybourn Park, a pulitzer prize-winning play done by the Speakeasy Stage at the Boston Center for the Arts! 

Our grand finale tonight takes us into Boston again, where we'll attend The Boston Symphony Orchestra and hear pieces by Mozart, Saint Saens, and a world premiere by Augusta Read Thomas. 

When we're not out and about, all sixteen students have been busy writing reviews of everything we've experienced.
