Enrollment on Coursera is now open for the free class, which uses scientifically backed methods and teaches practical advice on how to live a purposeful, satisfying, and enjoyable life. It'll now be taught in an expanded version, filmed in the home of Professor Laurie Santos, PhD, as part of a series on the science of well-being.

This is the latest in a recent growing trend of making wellness practices more accessible by bringing them into the home at discounted (or free!) costs. Armed with the online course, your guided meditation practice, and at-home barre workouts, this could be your most mindful spring ever.
