FACULTY OF EDUCATION AND SOCIETY | Lecture
Mindfulness in Physical Activity: Between Mental Health and the Natural Body
Tuesday 10 September, 11:30 - 13:00
Room D131, Orkanen, Nordenskiöldsgatan 10
Mindfulness has become a more popular concept in the fitness industry. Often connected with such activities as yoga and tai chi, mind-body activities are now also incorporated within other group fitness modalities. In this talk, Pirkko Markula will connect mindfulness to the psychological construct of self-compassion and to the principles of somatic training to explore how it operates in a socio-cultural context of fitness.

About Pirkko Markula
Pirkko Markula-Denison is a professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation at the University of Alberta, Canada. As a poststructuralist feminist researcher, she explores new materialist approaches to dance, exercise, and sport. Drawing inspiration from Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault, she investigates how to create more ethical movement practices by integrating existing knowledge without being constrained by it.
