Free Introduction to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an empirically supported 8-week course in mindful living developed in the late ’70s by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.

MBSR has been found to positively and often profoundly affect participants’ ability to reduce medical symptoms and psychological distress while learning to live life more fully.

Over forty years of research suggests the majority of people who complete the MBSR curriculum report:

• Reductions in stress and emotional reactivity
• Loosening of the grip of negative habits and thought patterns
• Improved self-compassion and self-care
• Better management of anxiety and depression
• Decreased pain and medical symptoms
• Improvements to overall well-being

If you’d like to learn more about the transformative and life-affirming Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, join Amy, a certified teacher of MBSR and certified practitioner of Advanced Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness, for a Free Introduction on Wednesday, September 10th, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Seeking Solace Yoga Studio in Overland Park.
