The MBSR Program is conducted over a period of eight weeks.

 

The program will involve eight scheduled weekly classes for 2.5 hours and an additional Day Of Mindfulness

  • Guided instruction in mindfulness meditation practices 

  • Gentle stretching and mindful yoga 

  • Inquiry exercises to enhance awareness in everyday life 

  • Individually tailored instruction 

  • Group dialogue 

  • Daily home assignments 

  • Guided audio files for home practice and a workbook

 

The MBSR programme is a highly participatory practical course that requires commitment and willingness.

What you will learn....

 

  • Articulate the key aspects of mindfulness as it relates to stress reduction, coping with pain and illness and enhancing well-being

 

  • Differentiate MBSR from relaxation and other distraction techniques that may seem similar but are fundamentally and theoretically quite different in contending with difficulty and enhancing quality of life

 

  • Practice and apply mindfulness techniques in both personal and professional settings as a means of contending more effectively with the demands of both settings

 

  • Integrate mindfulness into social interaction with colleagues, supervisors, clients, family and friends to facilitate more effective and mindful communication

 

  • Implement brief mindfulness practices as a means of contending with acute pain, anxiety and distress.
