The Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course is a systematic, participant-centered education program that uses training in mindfulness meditation and gentle mindful yoga as the core of a program to guide people in the process of developing the skills of better self-care. You will participate in an introduction/overview of the course developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. It is discussed in detail in his book, Full Catastrophe Living. Our course is presented through a combination of lecture, discussion, experiential learning, and home practices.

He is a qualified MBSR instructor and certified yoga instructor having done mindfulness teacher training at Univ. of Massachusetts Medical Center. He has taught the entire MBSR program since 2015.
