PE 170 Mindfulness: Bridging Your Mental and Physical Health
Increase your understanding of mindfulness and meditation techniques through regular weekly practice. Students will connect mindfulness skills to physical movement (i.e. walking, stretching and other intentional movement). Students will identify at least 2 skills that they will continue to practice to support their well-being and identify an intention/goal for utilizing those skills. This class is based on the curriculum developed by the Mindfulness Institute of Emerging Adults and includes connection activities, lecture/debrief at the beginning of each class, mindfulness mini skills, meditation and physical movement activities.
PE 170 may not be repeated for additional PE activity credit. Students interested in further exploration of mindfulness should consider registering for PE 334, which is offered for academic credit.
