Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction

Offered at Duke since 1998, the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program teaches practical skills for managing stress through mindfulness, deep relaxation, and gentle movement. Participants gain greater awareness of how they respond to daily stressors and learn techniques to approach challenges with increased clarity and resilience.

The MBSR program consists of 10 sessions: nine weekly sessions, each 2.5 hours long, and one all-day intensive, the Day of Mindfulness. The learning in your weekly class sessions is supported by written material and audio tracks with guided meditations. Access to these materials is included in the course fee.
