Stress Reduction

8 week course starting in September
Worcester Studio
$350.00 for the eight week course

More and more studies indicate that stress negatively impacts not only our mental health but our physical health as well.  If you have stresses in your life – mental, psychological or social – then you may find Metrowest Yoga’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program beneficial.

This program is based on the internationally acclaimed program developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979 at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.

This training process brings together Mindfulness meditation and yoga and can help you develop a greater awareness of the mind-body connection, as well as the way unconscious thoughts and behaviors impact your health.  Our 8 week MBSR course is designed to help you to meet the ordinary and the extraordinary challenges of life with ease and peace of mind.
