Mind-Body Stress Reduction Course (8 weeks starting March 1)

Included here is all of the information you need, but if you have any questions please call (306)933-0755. 

Each session will begin at 6:30 p.m. and finish at 7:30 p.m. The sessions are all located at #109 – 294 Venture Crescent, Saskatoon. Please arrive 10 minutes early to check in. Someone will be at the front door to great you.

This course is designed to meet you wherever you are at, from no experience with MBSR to well-experienced practitioners. In each session, we’ll discuss the science behind the techniques and a brief review of the evidence, and we will focus the most on the practice of these techniques. The goal is that, by the end of the 8 weeks, you will have the opportunity to create a personal practice with new tools to help you regulate your nervous system in a way that will improve your physical, mental, and spiritual (however you define this) health.

Please wear comfortable clothing for the sessions. If you would like to take notes, pen and paper will be provided, and we ask that you please avoid having laptops or cell phones out during the sessions, which can be distracting.
