First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested an 8-week mind-body program called Mindfulness in Motion (MIM) in 37 university dance students. The course taught stress reduction, mindfulness, and gentle yoga to help students handle physical and emotional pressures. Researchers measured changes in stress, burnout, resilience, and muscle discomfort. The goal was to see if adding this course to the dance curriculum improves student well-being.
