What is the course

What is the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programme?

A practical programme introducing mindfulness practices that can help participants notice stress responses, pay attention to the present moment and choose more considered ways to respond.

The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programme introduces guided mindfulness practices, body awareness and mindful movement. Participants explore how to observe thoughts, emotions and physical sensations with greater awareness, without assuming that stress can be eliminated or that outcomes are guaranteed.
