MBSR Course

MBSR stands for Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and is an 8-week program that can help you relax and strengthen internally.

The MBSR course consists of a combination of sitting meditation, walking meditation, yoga, and mindfulness exercises. You will learn to consciously focus your attention on the present moment and to be aware of your sensations, thoughts, and feelings.

Defined as "the attention that arises from intentional observation in the present moment and without judgment" mindfulness is your key to a more harmonious life.

The aim is to promote mindfulness and thereby reduce stress and find inner peace. Additionally, coping with difficult emotions, unpleasant physical sensations, and mindful communication will be taught.

Participating in an MBSR course might be for you if you:

Approach life calmly, energetically, and enthusiastically.
Want to develop healthy coping strategies for short-term and long-term stress.
Want to effectively manage and reduce levels of pain.
Improve concentration, build resilience, and quickly recover from challenging events.
Cultivate self-care for more balance, ease, and inner peace.
