Be Aware of the Space Between

The u GO I GO program includes a no-cost online seminar called "MIND THE GAP" designed to get you moving again.


Michael, a seasoned yoga and meditation instructor, came up with the catchy term "Mind The Gap" to assist people remember the practice of mindfulness in their daily lives. The space between contemplation and action; the pause between inspiration and expiration; the time it takes to breathe in and let go.


In these classes, students will learn how to breathe and relax more deeply, two basic but powerful tools for coping with stress, despair, and other negative emotions. There are simple guided visualization exercises and comforting advice for calming the mind in a risk-free setting.


A participant's camera status is optional; whatever works and is comfortable is what's required. If you have any questions or comments after each session, feel free to write Michael and he will respond within 24 hours.


Participating in a session calls for little more than finding some peace and quiet. Enrollment is open throughout the academic year.
