What does your meditation and/or breathwork practice look like?
Every morning before my class, I make it a point to do yoga. This helps me stretch and move my body, making my morning routine easier and improving my mobility throughout the day. To enhance my focus, I practice breathing techniques in a cold shower, which also makes me more sensitive to the cold.

Share one creative way to build a community around Open on your campus.
From my observations on campus, many individuals feel hesitant to express their opinions or participate in certain communities due to a fear of judgement and ostracization. Some campus groups require new students to complete tedious tasks before considering them full members, while others struggle to balance extracurricular activities with their academic workload. To combat these negative experiences, I envision creating a welcoming environment free from judgement and unnecessary burdens. This community would prioritize open conversations and equal status among all members, with a focus on creating enjoyable experiences rather than padding resumes.
