Course overview
Course description
This short meditation and mindfulness course invites you to draw inwards and learn to calm the mind and deeply relax in the comfort of your own home. If you struggle to keep your sense of equilibrium as the season changes, this mindfulness course will support you to embrace the coming winter and to savour the natural process of slowing down at this time of year. You will be guided through a range of mindful practices that progressively allow you to relax into the present moment, creating a seamless flow of relaxation. You will learn to deepen your breathing, engage in gentle mindful movements that ease tension and focus the mind, seated mindfulness meditation practice and guided Yoga Nidra which encourages you to deeply rest. You will also be encouraged to independently engage in mindful practices that support you to embrace the season during your course. Learning will take place in a supportive learning environment; you will have access to mindfulness practice resources in Canvas to support you to practice in your own time alongside your weekly classes. You may choose to progress to the next course in January: Meditation and Mindfulness to support a positive mindset.
