Mindfulness has been shown to improve one's cognitive development, self-management, emotional intelligence, happiness and empathy.
UNCW's Mindfulness Living Learning Community (LLC) is a great way to meet University Studies requirements while learning how the mind-body connection facilitates peace and happiness both on and off the yoga mat.
