Sustainability Starts Within: Nurturing Positive Mental Health with SKY Breath Meditation

Thursday 14.11.2024, 18:00 - 19:30



Venue:

Lecture Hall 1180 

Speaker
Prof. Dr. Mrinalini (Nalini) Kochupillai

Breathing techniques have been a central part of the traditional knowledge of yoga. A time-tested, evidence-based breathing technique, Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) has also been found by numerous independent studies to be most effective in sustainably enhancing overall wellbeing by increasing mindfulness, the feeling of connection, work efficiency, and the ability to concentrate, while reducing stress and anxiety. In this hands-on workshop, you will get an introduction to the SKY Breath Meditation and have the opportunity to learn a few simple breathing techniques. You will also gain an understanding of the four prongs of sustainable positive mental health and how inner and outer sustainability are connected. To conclude the session there will be a short exchange on the experience, time for questions, and a short survey to gauge student interest in a weekend SKY Breath Meditation workshop.

Prof. Dr. Mrinalini (Nalini) Kochupillai is currently an adjunct faculty at the University of Vienna and was a guest professor of ethics at TU Munich from 2020-2024. She is also a certified practitioner and trainer for the Art of Living Happiness Program and the SKY Campus Happiness Program which teach the evidence-based SKY Breath Meditation. In addition to researching legal and ethical issues in emerging technologies, her current research seeks to understand whether and how stress management techniques can support ethical decision-making.
