Lawyers and Yoga: Good Moves….

One of the more positive developments is how many people are devotees of yoga.  I was interested to see a D.C. Bar advertisement for “Cultivating Contentment with Yoga:  Living and Lawyering Series.”   At the same time I was amused when I read that following the yoga session there would be an “active discussion on the presented topic.”  Lawyers…. we can’t stop talking can we?

I’m happy to report that at my own law school, a couple of years ago our dean (yes, Dean Gildin — he’s a devotee!) added yoga to our on-campus opportunities. Students, faculty, staff and even family members are welcome. A great way to help all of us strive for balance, at every age.  In fair weather the sessions are on the lawn; when it gets cold or wet everyone moves into our courtroom. 

Sadly, however, neither the D.C. Bar nor our law school gives educational “credits” for the sessions.  Remember, virtue is its own reward.
