Between midterms and the upcoming election, there’s no shortage of stress. Take time for yourself this weekend by visiting a farmers market, participating in some online yoga and attending a virtual art lecture.

Friday

Saturday

Gentle Yoga for Terrible Times

If you’re looking for a break from the stress of midterms, you can find some solace in evening online yoga. Taught through Zoom from Los Angeles, this free yoga class has a mission to be “accessible and inclusive for everyone” and merely help people unwind from the chaos of the year. Classes consistently sell out, according to its website, so be sure to register sooner rather than later. No experience is necessary to attend.

9 to 10 p.m. EDT. Register on Eventbrite to receive a Zoom invitation link via email 30 minutes before the class begins.

Sunday

Rembrandt in the Mirror

Learn more about art while you’re stuck at home with an online class. This online lecture, led by John Walsh, the former director of the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, will examine the works and career of esteemed Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn. The lecture will center around the several self portraits Rembrandt created, as well as his motives for their creation.

Rembrandt in the Mirror will run from 5 to 6:30 p.m. EDT. Register on Eventbrite to receive an invite to this virtual lecture.
