Introduction to Mindfulness Workshop in NYC | Mindful Stress Relief

This three‑part experiential workshop introduces Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), a practice developed by Jon Kabat‑Zinn to cultivate non‑judgmental, present‑moment awareness through meditation, gentle movement, breathwork, and mindful exploration of the senses. Each 90‑minute session stands alone, but attending all three will deepen your understanding.

Sessions include a look at the history and principles of MBSR, group discussions, breakout conversations, and shared mindfulness practices. We’ll explore somatic practices, gentle movement, and mindfully engaging the senses to help you find ease, equanimity, and a deeper connection with yourself. All levels are welcome!
