Learn to slow down from the busy pace of University and life!
For July and August, in partnership with the RAWC, join us every Monday from 1:10 pm -1:40 pm for a weekly Meditation & Movement practice in the Wellness Den (DV227).
Guided Meditation will be paired with a physical practice to help us move our bodies into wellness including seated yoga and stretching.
Mindfulness is about being present and in the moment. These free, drop-in classes foster an accepting, non-judgmental environment to learn and practice different forms of mindful meditation.
No prior experience with mindfulness or meditation is required! Everyone is welcome, students, staff, and faculty!
