Learn to slow down from the busy pace of University...and life!
For July and August, in partnership with the RAWC, join us every Wednesday from 12:10 pm-12:40 pm for a weekly Meditation & Movement practice in the RAWC Dance Studio.
Guided Meditation will be paired with a physical practice to help us move our bodies into wellness including stretching, yoga, Pilates, and walking.
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!
Lower Stress. Improve Mood. Feel Better.
