The foundation of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is the cultivation of mindfulness - clear, non-judgmental attention to the present moment - with regard to the experience of body, feelings, emotions, and mind. Inspired by the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn, this 4-week class will introduce mindfulness practices such as the body scan, sitting and walking meditation, and mindful movement, which have been proven to reduce medical symptoms and psychological stress while enhancing health and well-being.

Janet Solyntjes, MA, CYT completed a professional training with Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli in 2002 and has offered MBSR programs in Canada and the US for the past eight years. She is a senior teacher in the Shambhala-Buddhist tradition.
