What can I expect during the course?
Mindfulness in Motion (MIM) is an eight-week mindfulness-based intervention, where you will learn tools to combat burnout while increasing your resiliency and overall quality of life.
These tools include:
- Learning to use your body to be focused in the present moment.
- Learning what causes stress and how to reframe it.
- Learning to integrate at least three to four mindfulness techniques into their professional and personal lives.
MIM combines evidence-based content, community discussion, and mindfulness activities, such as reflection, gentle yoga, breathing exercises and relaxing music.
Both the 60- and 30-minute virtual sessions are based on the science of mindfulness and are designed to fit into your busy schedule, making self-care more accessible than ever.
A workbook, or virtual handouts, are provided along with mobile app practices to reinforce how to apply the content at home and work.

- Session 1: Introduction to Mindfulness
- Session 2: Mindful Sleep
- Session 3: Vision of Self, Supported by the Breath
- Session 4: Mindful Eating and Yoga
- Session 5: Movement Through Balance
