Aid Yoga is an all-levels yoga class designed to teach students about stretching and relaxation poses and how to use these skills on and off the mat. Yoga is a physical practice that goes beyond teaching students how to move according to their comfort zones. This kind of workout teaches students how to regain control of their breathing, how to trust themselves, how to create a safe space, and how to cope with a stressful event. The purpose of hosting Aid Yoga at the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs (IIHA) is two fold: to provide a free, community event that benefits the mind and body of the students while also giving them tools to take with them into the humanitarian field or in life. The class structure will build onto itself and have a theme so that the more classes a student joins, the more they will advance, learn, and improve their practice. No class will be the same. Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to seeing you in class!

Join the IIHA team and GSAS for a presentation on the M.S. in Humanitarian Studies (MSHS)! Learn about the core courses, application deadlines, career outcomes, and more. Current Fordham undergraduate students who are interested in our accelerated program are also welcome to join. Any questions regarding the session can be sent to iiha@fordham.edu and rmukwana@fordham.edu. Thanks, and see […]
