The sessions 

The one-hour sessions are facilitated by the Danish Center for Mindfulness and take place on Zoom. During the sessions, an MBSR (mindfulness-based stress reduction) and yoga facilitator guides you through different techniques and exercises that will help you reduce your stress, increase your motivation, concentration, and awareness, boost your resilience and improve your overall wellbeing during these challenging times.  

Practicalities:

• The morning and afternoon meetings alternate every week 
• You receive the link before the event 
• You are welcome to attend all the sessions or just some of them
• You work on your wellbeing at your own pace
• You do not need special training or skills to participate
• You receive additional resources after the sessions 
• Accompanying partners/spouses are welcome to attend
• We aim at offering physical sessions, once it is possible to do so 
  
  

The Facilitator

The participants learn different practices from the MBSR (mindfulness-based stress reduction) and yoga facilitator, Camilla Marcinkowski, from the Danish Center for Mindfulness at AU Health.

Camilla, is an international teacher who has lived and studied in North America for many years and now teaching mindfulness and mental-training to businesses, athletes, students and the general public in Denmark.

The UIC has partnered with the Danish Center for Mindfulness to create this offer at AU. This is a research centre at the Institute of Clinical Medicine at Aarhus University carrying out research and education of teachers in mindfulness-based applications for many different people and patient groups.
