Wellbeing groups and workshops
If you’re feeling stressed, would like to improve your relaxation skills or are interested in developing a meditation practice, we run wellbeing groups and workshops that may help.
Meditation and deep relaxation groups
Meditation group
Date and time: Thursdays 12pm to 1.30pm, in and out of term time.
Location: Room 6, Second floor, Leeds University Union, LS2 9JZ.
The meditation group offers you a large variety of relaxations, meditations and practices preparatory to meditation. Once you have been to a few sessions, you will have learnt which ones you can make best use of.
To attend in person, come to the room and sign the register.
The group is also live streamed over Zoom for people who cannot attend in person. Please make sure you have downloaded Zoom onto your device well before you attend.
Each week, you will receive an email with a link to the meeting page on the Student Counselling and Wellbeing Hub. This will take you straight to the online session.

The Feel Better Faster group is for you if you want to manage your feelings and thoughts with more ease.
You will be shown a set of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness techniques which, if practiced regularly, will help you deepen your capacity to relax, concentrate and manage what goes on inside of you.
This practices help the majority of people who suffer from insomnia, anxiety, stress, and depression to reduce their symptoms quite quickly.
You will achieve the best results if you work regularly on the techniques in between as well as during the sessions. We will provide free MP3 files to support your practice.
