Didactic Experiment Mindfulness 2023: 

HUGS Goes Yoga

Many large German corporations have now recognized the importance of mindfulness in life and that this topic should also be integrated into everyday professional life. In a didactic experiment in the summer semester of 2023, we started our 'Leadership' course in the Master's program at MU with yoga and mindfulness on every lecture day of the blocked event. Starting the day with mindfulness and yoga makes it so much more beautiful! My thanks go to the motivated students :-) 

Due to the positive feedback from the participants we will integrate different mindfulness activities into the curriculum of the course.
