MBSR is the most widely researched and utilized mindfulness program in the world. This intensive eight-week training was developed at the University of Massachusetts Medical School by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979. MBSR combines mindfulness meditation, yoga, and body-awareness practices with group processing and psychoeducation about stress physiology. Students learn how to mobilize their inner resources to alleviate suffering associated with chronic pain and illness, as well as conditions such as anxiety, depression, headaches, high blood pressure, sleep disturbances, gastrointestinal problems and the stresses of everyday life.
