The Koru Mindfulness program was developed over the course of a decade by psychiatrists Holly Rogers, MD, and Margaret Maytan, MD, to bring the benefits of mindfulness to the college students they worked with at Duke University’s student counseling center. Koru Basic is an introduction to mindfulness and meditation, taught as a weekly, 75-minute class over four weeks. Koru Mindfulness is an evidence-based curriculum specifically designed for teaching mindfulness, meditation, and stress management to college students and other young adults. Although Koru was developed for “emerging adults,” the specific mindfulness and meditation practices in the curriculum are applicable to all age groups. Everyone enrolled in course will receive both the Koru Mindfulness app and a free copy of the required book.
