Peace and relaxation: two of the many calming feelings experienced throughout the yoga and meditation seminar held Nov. 18 in honor of International Education Week. Nirupama Shankar and Puja Verma came to Elon University from the Art of Living Foundation and taught students different yoga asanas and instructed a short period of meditation. Verma said the three main qualities of yoga are: no competition, giving 100 percent and taking it as a game and just having fun.
The students who participated included students from the meditation club as well as people who teach yoga on campus, students who needed to go to an event for global studies and people who were just curious about the culture and background of yoga and meditation.
