The 8-week MBSR program is an evidence based program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn that changes one's relationship with stress. Students describe it as a life changing experience.

Requirements for admission into the MBSR program:
Because it is a life changing program, it needs a big commitment from the students and one must understand the requirements before signing up for it.
Each class builds on the previous class. If you miss one class but are doing the assigned home practices and following the summary emails sent after each class, it is possible to make up. If you are going to miss 3 or more classes, you may not get enough out of the course and it is best to wait for a future schedule.
