What is mindfulness meditation?
Mindfulness meditation is a secular exercise where you pay attention to the present moment by focusing on breath, sound, body sensations and other focal points.

  • Improve memory
  • Improve ability to fall asleep more quickly
  • Improve focus and attention
  • Decrease emotional reactivity

Who is this for?

All UBC faculty and staff at all levels of meditating experience.

What will you learn?
In the training you will practice different forms of facilitator guided mindfulness exercises including:

  • Mindfulness meditations
  • Loving-kindness meditations
  • Gratitude practices

Aisha Tejani is a Workplace Wellbeing Associate with UBC HR and has taught mindfulness for 4 years to over 1,800 participants.
