About mindfulness

Mindfulness is a practice of being aware of yourself, your body and your surroundings in the present moment.

While it is routed in Buddhism, as a spiritual practice, it is also used as a form of treatment in clinical psychology to help treat patients with chronic anxiety and stress. 

By learning to incorporate principles of mindfulness in your fitness through meditation and yoga, or in your diet through mindful eating, you can improve how you manage academic stress.

Register for a mindfulness workshop, in meditation or mindful eating, and you will learn practical skills to enhance your relaxation outside of class and focus in class.
