University meditation teacher is spreading mindfulness to students across UK

Ross Edwards, a university meditation teacher, double-certified teacher and long-time meditator, has released a free eight-week online meditation programme called Mindfulness for Students.

Ross was inspired to create the course after working with university staff and learning that students struggled to get the wellbeing advice and support that they sought.

First-rate scientific research has shown that meditation brings a range of benefits for mental health, is effective against anxiety, depression and chronic pain, and influences our body and brain in remarkable ways.

“Many universities are being forced to cut staff, and as a result many students don’t have access to specific, actionable advice that helps them improve their lives and wellbeing. I thought I’d use my expertise and online presence to contribute what I can.”

The course is delivered through 19 videos and 9 audios, and totals over 60 audios, videos and articles. Students learn eight fundamental mindfulness techniques, the latest science on meditation, how to bring meditation into daily life, and much more.

Ross is a double-certified meditation teacher with nearly a decade of meditation experience. He leads public classes, weekly classes for university staff, and online classes.
