About the Class
- Class Level: Beginner
- Age Requirement: 18 and older
- Average Class Size: 10
What You'll Learn
The well-researched MBSR program consists of eight weekly sessions (about 2.5 hours per session) as well as an all-day retreat, and is taught by an approved facilitator in a group setting.
Mindfulness techniques taught in the program include formal and informal practices of observing our body, breath and thoughts, as well as gentle stretching movements. The MBSR learning process also includes group discussions and some didactic teaching about stress, all of which are exceptionally important to the participant's learning in the program.
Mindfulness in the MBSR program is taught in a safe environment emphasizing self-care and the cultivation of moment-to-moment awareness, a non-striving attitude, non-judgmental acceptance, as well as self-compassion.
The MBSR program is designed to encourage active participation and commitment to practice, and so participants are required to follow up on the home practice assigned to them each week.
Fee Includes
Teaching fee, learning materials, audio recordings
