ABOUT MBSR
Learn Evidence-Based Techniques
Developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn in the 1970s, MBSR combines secular mindfulness-based meditation, body awareness, and gentle mindful movement to help you manage daily stress and find balance and more peace and gratitude in your life.
By joining this 8 week online course you will embark on a life-long journey of self-care.
Mindfulness-Based Meditation Practices
Learn different ways of formally and informally meditating from body scanning to awareness of breath practices, and mindful eating to mindful listening practices.
Lifelong Skills
Build a lasting "muscle of mindfulness" that supports better decision-making, communication, and self-care long after the 8 weeks end.
Mindful Movement
Through gentle movements and mindful walking meditation, you will develop embodied awareness and become more familiar with signs of stress in the body.
Emotional Regulation
Learn to tune into difficult emotions and a racing mind with compassion, reducing worry, rumination, and anxiety.
