Course Name: PWS 10041 Mindful Movement
Description: This course uses movement-based contemplative practices to glean many of the benefits of traditional meditation, i.e., to build awareness that emerges through paying attention, on purpose, without judgment. The ultimate goal is to aid students in enhancing self-care and improving emotional and physical adaptations for healthier living. Students will learn experientially and conceptually how to develop their capacity to enhance mind-body awareness of present-moment experience. Movement based practices will include yoga, tai chi, knitting and contemplative walking.
Study abroad experiences are exciting and transformational, but they can also present challenges. Some challenges may be cultural adjustment, home sickness, academic rigor, daily stresses as well as other challenges. Meditative (mindful) movements can offer support for cultural presence, physical wellbeing, stress reduction, and reflective learning while abroad.
