During this week at my internship there were a ton of challenges that I anticipated before I accepted this position. While applying for my internship there was a ton of new faculty that was added to the program due to unavoidable circumstances. Having seen the highs and lows of the program I knew that there were going to be times where I would have to “think on the fly” and rely on instinct. With all this in mind one may come across a lot of stress throughout their time in an internship. The program I work with understands this and seeks to make the environment as less stressful for the faculty. One of the missions of the administration involves allowing the faculty–specifically the teaching assistants(who are college students)–to get some down time through yoga. Having the ability to practice yoga once a week for a hour and a half allows for the workday to be more peaceful. I see this opportunity as a transactional experience. Throughout the week things are intense and often stressful, but we are rewarded a stress free zone once the end of the week roles around. Cannot wait for FRI-YAY.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
