Content : By design, traditional fitness classes focus on the PHYSICAL dimension of wellness. This new course will take an inside/out approach, and encourage student growth through balance in social-emotional, spiritual, mental, as well as physical well being. Students will explore the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. This course will be based on the premise that effective change starts from the inside out. Students will develop and nurture an integrated definition of health and wellness through interactive exercises, stories, reflection, engaging video segments, and “teach to learn” strategies.
The course is grounded in the foundational concept of principle-centered living and includes an exploration of individual perceptions, experiences, and knowledge. Students will work to develop habits of mind, body, and spirit along with the processes, thoughts, and behaviors that affect the results they achieve. . Students will be offered a framework to balance their commitment to fitness along with their studies, their social lives, and other priorities that are important to living well.
Particulars: One weekend intensive seminar will be required (Friday evening, Saturday). The 10-hour weekend intensive will incorporate The 7 Habits of Highly Effective CollegeStudents content including interactive exercises based on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey.
