[PDA Sports] Yoga for Better Sleep (Mon, Aug 31st, 6-7 pm)

[Savita Pareek]

Hello fellow postdocs,

Happy Friday! Just a quick reminder that registration for our Yoga for Better Sleep session closes today.

If a relaxing, screen-free hour sounds like the reset your week needs, come join us:

📅 Monday, August 31
🕕 6:00–7:00 PM
📍 Given the weather forecast for Monday, we've decided to move the event indoors - we'll now be in Building 68-181 (the Koch Biology Building is located at 31 Ames Street, Cambridge, MA 02142).

Please register by end of day today so we know how many mats to bring: https://forms.gle/Bx8zxcArqTPWdHnV7<https://forms.gle/7Y365TLSE5BiXQJFA>

Bring your own mat if you can (a few extras available), and a small blanket for the yoga-nidra.

Hope to see you there!

Warmly,
Savita & your PDA Sports Committee

Hello fellow postdocs,

Your p-values are significant. Your sleep, less so.

As sleep scientist Matthew Walker puts it, sleep is the single most effective thing we can do to reset our brain and body each day. Yet it's usually the first thing we sacrifice.

This month, let's give it back. Join us for a relaxing after-work yoga session built around the theme of Yoga for Better Sleep.

📅 Date: Monday, August 31
🕕 Time: 6:00–7:00 PM
📍 Location: Green space next to Muddy's Pub - https://maps.app.goo.gl/VhiMQyDJURDeSYQDA (backup location shared in case of bad weather)

What to expect:
🌬️ 15 minutes of introduction and breathwork
🌿 25 minutes of gentle warm-ups and asana practice
😴 15 minutes of meditative yogic sleep (yoga-nidra)

Please bring your own yoga mat if possible. We'll have a limited number of extra mats available, and participation may depend on mat availability. You may also want to bring a small blanket to make yourself feel more comfortable, especially for the yoga-nidra at the end.

After the session, stay and enjoy some light refreshments and good company!

Whether you're a seasoned yogi or trying yoga for the first time, everyone is welcome. Please fill out the registration form by Friday, August 28 if you'd like to join, so we know how many mats to bring: https://forms.gle/Bx8zxcArqTPWdHnV7

 We look forward to seeing you there!

Savita & your PDA Sports Committee
