What the Program Is About

For over four decades, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) has been the gold-standard, evidence-based program for reducing stress and cultivating resilience. Developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, MBSR has helped people worldwide improve focus, strengthen presence, and live with greater ease.

As a Qualified MBSR Instructor trained at Brown University, I’ll guide you through this immersive 8-week journey. The program combines mindfulness meditation, gentle yoga, and group inquiry—helping you meet stress with steadiness, clarity, and compassion.

We’ll explore:

  • Mindfulness of the Body
    Through breath awareness, yoga, and mindful movement, you’ll learn to ground yourself in your body. This helps release patterns of tension and builds a steadier connection to the present moment.

  • Mindfulness of the Mind
    Instead of being carried away by thoughts and emotions, you’ll practice noticing them with curiosity and balance. Over time, this creates the space to respond with clarity rather than react out of habit.

  • Mindfulness in Life
    Mindfulness isn’t just something you practice in meditation—it’s a way of living. You’ll bring awareness and compassion into your daily routines, work, and relationships, so mindfulness becomes woven into every part of your life.
