Virtual Programming

We are currently offering two categories of LIVE offerings - Group Exercise and Guided Meditation. 

LIVE - Group Exercise

LIVE - Guided Meditation

Rec Sports is proud to partner with The Health Promotion and Well-being Center's (The Well) Resilience Lab to offer weekly virtual, group guided meditation sessions. Each week we'll offer two 30-minute opportunities for guided practice which could include mindfulness techniques like body scans, loving-kindness meditations, progressive muscle relaxations, and guided imagery. All sessions and techniques are suitable for all levels of practice.

• Tuesdays at 12:00 PM
• Wednesdays at 2:30 PM

All LIVE (Group Exercise and Guided Meditation) program instances are available for registration on MyRecSports. Registration will remain open until the LIVE offering begins. We use Zoom as our platform for delivery. Each program instance is assigned a Zoom link. Zoom links are embedded in registration confirmations (emailed upon successful registration).

This year has been one unlike any other, and for many of us, that has led to unexpected challenges. 

That’s why we’re offering a 4-week mindfulness training course for students to learn ways to build resilience using Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) techniques. These 2-hour, interactive virtual classes will provide resources on topics such as mindfulness in the face of stress and uncertainty, how we can tune in to our thoughts and emotions through mindful practice, and how to live compassionately. 

Priority scheduling is for VCU students. Students are encouraged to sign up before Monday, October 5. After that registration will open up to VCU Faculty and Staff as well as Rec Sports Members.
