IE Happiness Week 2022

Celebrated on June 21, International Yoga Day celebrates the physical and spiritual prowess that yoga has brought to the world stage. The date of June 21 was chosen as it is the Summer Solstice, a suitable occasion to engage in the ancient practice of completing 108 sun salutations with the season change.

Continuing with this tradition we inaugurated at IE in March 2022 to welcome the spring, we are inviting all our IE Community members (plus friends and family), from seasoned to beginner yogis, to join us for this 2nd edition to welcome the summer as well as change and new energy!

The 108 sun salutations are usually done as a spiritual practice at special times such as transition between seasons, spring/summer or fall/winter, full and new moons. Why 108? The number 108 is considered to be a very spiritual and sacred number in the Hindu religion and is the number of names given to God Shiva. The approximate distance between the Earth and the Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Sun. 

Important information:
- Please bring your own mat. We will have some extra ones, but not for everyone!
- Friends and family are welcome to register and join! (Registration required)

This event is brought to you by the IE Athletic Center, the IE Center for Health, Well-Being & Happiness and 3Metros.

Data suggests that modern-day workers are under a lot of pressure and stress. During this conversation, we will talk about psychological factors that contribute to career stress such as the different definitions of success, the input from social media, and the myth of having it all. We will also examine how the science of positive psychology can be applied to our work lives to mitigate some of effects of present-day demands. Finally, we will discuss meaning and overall well-being at work as well as practical tools to manage our professional lives positively.

The March Equinox is also International Happiness Day (March 20th) and marks the end of the Winter and beginning of the Spring. To celebrate this transition period and the end of IE Happiness Week, we are inviting all our IE Community members, from seasoned to beginner yogis, to engage in this ancient practice and welcome change and new energy!

ALL Levels welcome!
