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:

  1. Learning to use your body to be focused in the present moment.
  2. Learning what causes stress and how to reframe it.
  3. 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
