A colleague and friend of MSBA’s Lisa Caplan, from JLAP in Indianapolis, is offering a virtual free weekly yoga class for lawyers and staff on Thursdays at 6:00pm for 45 minutes of gentle movement, focused on breath control, and postures to restore your body and soul. No yoga experience necessary; this practice is more meditative than physical. For optimal experience you will need a yoga mat (or towel or blanket), 2 yoga blocks (or books or rolled up towels), a bolster (or firm pillow), and a blanket.
