Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Programs

Foundations (on-site classes)

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a method of using meditation and yoga to cultivate awareness and reduce stress. It is based on the ancient practice of mindfulness, which is about waking up, being fully alive, and being present for the richness of each moment of our lives. Within this awakening, we gain access to our deepest inner resources for living, healing, and coping with stress.

Foundations (distance learning program)

Duke Integrative Medicine’s MBSR program presents The Mindful Way to Reduce Stress: A Distance Learning Program, where participants “meet” with their instructor and class once a week via telephone conference, from wherever they may be. This program is designed to deliver those same teachings and opportunity for group learning of the on-site Foundations program to those who are unable to visit our facility on a weekly basis, for reasons of scheduling difficulties, distance, or physical limitations.

Graduate Programs

These programs are designed to offer alumni an opportunity to focus more deeply on particular topics introduced in the Foundations program.

Continuation Classes

We are aware that it can be difficult to find the time, motivation and support to continue what has been learned after a Foundations or Graduate class is over, so we offer alumni several opportunities to maintain their mindfulness practice.
