On March 28, Stetson’s Wellness Working Group kickstarted Get Inspired!, two days of self-care and professional development, with a session of yoga. 

Benndrick Watson J.D. ’15 led the session. Watson started doing yoga while he was at Stetson, and has continued doing so ever since. 

“Yoga came into play for me right before the bar exam. It helped give me a way to relieve stress and anxiety throughout the process,” said Watson.  Watson also said that Stetson’s yoga program helped him meet some really good friends and acquaintances. Watson described yoga as “a fun and untraditional way to keep connected to people while going through the rigors and pains of legal education.”

In addition to being a yoga instructor, Watson is a litigation and entertainment law attorney and a rapper. He has his own record label and entertainment law firm.

The Get Inspired! series, which included presentations on health cooking, finances, life balance and powerful affirmations, is meant to encourage students, faculty, and staff to lead a better and healthier life.
