with Acharya Dr. Maureen Hall
March 27 - May 15, 2018
This 8 week, 9 session, MBSR course is based on systematic and intensive training in mindfulness meditation and mindful Hatha yoga and their applications to everyday life. Course consists of 8 two-hour weekly classes and one full day retreat.
The MBSR curriculum focuses on the experiential cultivation of both formal and informal mindfulness practices as a foundation for the cultivation of positive health behaviors and psychological and emotional resilience. These practices can be effectively used on a daily basis for the remainder of one’s life. The approach supports the learning, strengthening and integration of a range of mindfulness-based self-regulatory skills while developing and refining inherent internal resources. A primary aim of the program is to cultivate ways of learning and being which can be utilized far beyond the completion of the program.
