KIN 1110 - Exploring Mindbody Movement

Credits: 3

Students will be introduced to various mind-body movements and techniques. Students will learn and understand the history of these practices as they relate to different cultures, beliefs, and practices, as well as the current scientific research to support the use of these techniques in health and wellness. Students will be taught the fundamental terms and movements for the different mind-body patterns or the use of freeform pattern movement. Regular participation in these types of movements is associated with improved muscular strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, as well as improving mental health. By the end of the course, through class and personal exploration, the student will determine and develop a personalized mind-body flow movement.
