Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) First Class

January 21, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm UTC+0

$449

The MBSR program helps participants integrate mindfulness into their daily lives. Created by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979, MBSR is based on ancient contemplative practices integrated with western medical approaches. This program harnesses our inner resources and has been demonstrated to enhance emotional resilience.

MBSR has been researched for over 40 years and consistently delivers benefits associated with increased self-awareness, and attentional and emotional regulation. In addition, outcomes have included reductions in symptoms for various physical and behavioral health conditions such as:
– Stress
– Anxiety and Depression
– Chronic pain
– Hypertension

These highly participatory, practical sessions will include individual, tailored instruction in mindfulness meditation practices, as well as group discussions, gentle yoga and stretching, daily homework, and related class materials. You will also receive a link to access a MBSR portal that allows you access to all necessary handouts.
