Foundations of Mindfulness: Wednesdays 3:30-4:45pm September 25 to November 13, 2024.
The 8 weeks of Foundations of Mindfulness are a unique, experiential opportunity for students to ground themselves in contemporary mindfulness practices. Students will learn 12 different practices that include elements of mindfulness-meditation, breathwork, silent retreat, mindful movement and guided visualization rooted in evidence-based programs like Mindfulness for Emerging Adults and iRest Yoga Nidra. The key goal of this course is to learn and embody tools that cultivate greater self-awareness, self-regulation and resilience. Students will also understand the cultural roots of various techniques and develop a customized routine for deepening their personal practice.
Pick 12 or more of the listed experiences from the Student Wellness Center and Academic Skills Center to boost your wellbeing to gain a PE/WE Credit!

You will be guided through the ancient practice of yoga nidra: a deeply restful and rejuvenating sleep-like meditation. Participants will be invited to lie down, get comfortable, and simply listen to the words of the meditation while doing absolutely nothing else. Yoga philosophy states that 30 minutes of yoga nidra practice is equivalent to 3-4 hours of sleep. Come see for yourself!
