PED 1902Mindfulness and Meditation 2cr

This introductory course introduces the concepts, uses, benefits and misunderstandings of mindfulness and meditation when integrated into daily life. Mindfulness is defined as deliberately paying attention to what is happening around and within the body, heart, and mind. Mindfulness is awareness without criticism or judgment. This course focuses on techniques to practice mindfulness during everyday moments, utilizing meditation as a means to achieve a more readily available state of mindfulness, and to build towards peak moments when completely aware. In order to facilitate this process, movement and breath work is integrated into the course through Yin Yoga (deep stretch), Vinyasa Yoga (breath linked yoga flow postures) and Pranayama (guided breathwork). Course Fee. Students evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis.
