Mindfulness -Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) aims to address prolonged periods of stress which can lead to poor mental and physical health.

​

The approach incorporates different techniques including meditation, gentle yoga, and mind-body exercise. MBSR was developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn and studied since the 1970s for its impact on mental health. Studies have shown a significant decrease in anxiety, stress, depression and also enhanced the quality of life in patients with chronic diseases like cancer, hypertension, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, chronic pain, and skin disorders, after MBSR therapy.
