Exploring our Emotions with Calm and Focus by Emily Yisa on Sunday afternoons
Available spots
Service Description
Join us on a journey to understand and practice mindfulness as a tool for managing stress and enhancing well-being. This course covers everything from the basics of what stress and mindfulness are, to engaging activities that demonstrate their benefits. Participants will experience guided breathing exercises, grounding techniques, chair yoga, mindful coloring, and more, to find what works best for them. Each class features interactive discussions, video insights, and breakout activities to deepen understanding and connection. We’ll explore how music and sounds can influence our emotions and help us relax, culminating in a celebratory session where students revisit their favorite mindfulness practices. Embrace relaxation, focus, and fun in a supportive, engaging environment!
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
