Mindfulness Course For Stress Reduction (MBSR) With Helen
This course synthesises ancient Eastern wisdom on mindfulness with emerging Western science on stress reduction, neuroscience & mind-body approaches. It. First developed in 1979 it is considered the gold standard in mindfulness training and has decades of scientific research to understand the benefits and teaching modalities.

It has been found to help with anxiety & depression, to help manage chronic pain & lower blood sugar levels, to improve emotional regulation; increase attention, focus & memory; and plant inner seeds of resilience, kindness & acceptance.
It is suitable for those new to meditation & experienced meditators looking to deepen their practice. This option offers the traditional 8 week MBSR course format.
