Way Opens Wellness in Yardley is pleased to announce that it will host the popular stress relief program, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), online via Zoom on Thursday evenings beginning April 30 and running through June 18, with a one-day retreat on Saturday, June 6.
This classic 8-week training in meditation and mindful movement was created over 40 years ago by well-known author and researcher Jon Kabat-Zinn, and is taught around the world in hospitals, clinics, prisons, schools, and anywhere people wish to learn how to eliminate the toxic effects of stressful living. MBSR participants learn to understand, through direct experience, how to mindfully cope with pain, illness, loss, and the everyday challenge of being alive.
