Abstract: Being a woman in STEM seems like an upward trek from the very beginning, with our biggest enemy often being ourselves. This journey, however, is riddled with numerous opportunities if we know where to look. I will discuss my adventure through the halls of academia and some techniques to tackle the difficulties that often plague younger women in the sciences, especially impostor syndrome, as well as some opportunities and support structures that early career women are often unaware of.
This event is for USC faculty, students, staff, and alumni.

Yoga with USC WiSE Alumna: Kathleen Sand
Wed, Oct 28, 2020 @ 05:30 PM - 06:30 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
Instructor:
Kathleen Sand
Ph.D., Biomechanics, USC, 2004
Current: Senior Regional Director of Operations, CorePower Yoga
Kathleen (Kat) will guide you through a 60-minute all-levels, vinyasa yoga class. Vinyasa is a Sanskrit word, meaning "to place in a special way", or "to move with intention." Overtime, Vinyasa has grown to describe a style of yoga that can also be described as "flow" or "breath to movement." We will begin class with a few seated breathing exercises to connect with body and breath, and transition into a full-body yoga practice, ending with a bit of seated meditation. Kat's intention is to provide the time and space to connect you to your breath and your body; connect with friends and colleagues, either in-person or virtually; provide 60-minutes of decision-free time to focus solely on you; and to have fun as we explore layers of accessibility to achieve your personalized yoga practice.
