About UF Mindfulness
UF Mindfulness aimed to co-create mindful academic culture. Mindfulness meditation is an ancient life practice and has been rediscovered to tame anxious minds and help relax stressed people in modern society. Evidence-based mindfulness research has shown the effects of mindfulness and mind-body practices (e.g. , yoga, tai chi, body scans, whole body breathing) to reduce stress and depression, enhance emotion regulation, well-being, and mental and physical health. Join the journey and explore what mindfulness may offer to you.

Vision
Co-create a mindful UF campus culture.
The UF Mindfulness team aims to infuse mindfulness practices in courses and curricula at UF; offer workshops, short courses, retreats, and trainings in mindfulness and mind-body practices; enhance collaborative mindfulness research; and serve as a catalyst sparking mindful moments to bring forth health and well-being.
Story
The UF Mindfulness Program was launched with funding by the UF Creative Campus Program (May 2015). Since then our team has expanded, we are engaged in collaborative networking and teaching of mindfulness across campus, and have formed three pillars focused on Teaching & Practice, Research, and Student Development.
​
UF Mindfulness is a self-funded program.

Community
We are passionate to co-create mindfulness for the whole UF community—undergraduate and graduate students, Post-Docs, faculty members, researchers, staff, and administrators.
​
We are also a catalyst to build compassionate, safe, and empowering communities contributing to the greater good.
