Our mental health and wellness are fundamental to our well-being and ability to show up for ourselves and others. Please enjoy live 15 minute meditations on Monday evenings at 5:00 PM PT with Harpreet Sangha to create a safe space for members of the legal community to show up for ourselves — no matter what the semester, work, or life may bring forth.
Harpreet Sangha is our meditation instructor that trained in Rishikesh, India and is a certified yoga teacher who has been practicing meditation and yoga since childhood. Harpreet has been teaching yoga in person for over 15 years and during the pandemic has been leading meditation, pranayama (breath control) and mindfulness sessions online. Harpreet's area of expertise includes ancient yogic scriptures, and he shares knowledge and philosophy from original Sanskrit texts. Over the course of his studies, he has practiced and learned extensively from many Himalayan masters — true mystics—whose knowledge and insight Harpreet is eager to share with others. His focus has been to understand the ancient wisdom in Vedic scriptures from a practical standpoint and share this knowledge with others to help everyone achieve a balanced, happy and peaceful state of mind.The Institute for Well-Being in Law is another great resources that is committed to creating a culture shift in the legal community to center health and well-being. They believe professional success includes living more fulfilling, balanced, and joyful lives. Here is the link to their Resource Guides, including a Law Student Well-Being Resource Guide. Below are two law review articles that were enlightening regarding the necessary shift needed in the legal community to center our well-being and served as the inspiration for this initiative.
