Course Description:
With rising rates of anxiety, depression, perfectionism and burnout among college students, developing habits to build resilience and enhance well-being is critical for student success. We will examine practices such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and self-compassion, and their impact on learning, physical and mental health, and peak performance. We will analyze research on the effects of regular practice on physiology, mood, and relationships. Students will review the research and present findings on the application of these practices in alternate settings such as business, leadership, health care, and athletics. This course is highly experiential. We practice in and out of the classroom to cultivate skills over the course of the semester and engage in deep reflection around the process. |
