mbsr- mindfulness-based stress reduction

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an intensive 8-week course designed to empower participants through meditative awareness to take an active role in the management of their health and wellness. MBSR teaches the practice of mindfulness through meditation, yoga, and ultimately through awareness brought into our everyday lives. This course is modeled on the MBSR program pioneered by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. and Saki Santorelli at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.

Currently, there are over 200 medical centers in the United States and Europe that have MBSR programs, including some of the leading integrative medical centers such as the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine, the Duke Center for Integrative Medicine, and the Jefferson-Myrna Brind Center for Integrative Medicine.
