SUMMARY:In Person: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course \nwith Jon Aaron \n\nIn-Person Course: Tuesdays\, January 23rd – March 12th\, 2024 | 6:30pm – 9:00pm ET\nIn-Person Daylong: Sunday\, February 25th\, 2024 | 9:30am – 5:00pm ET \nCourse Location: Balance Arts Center at 151 W 30th St 3rd floor\, New York\, NY \nCourse Description: \nNew York Insight offers ongoing classes in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)\, the ground-breaking and time-tested\, scientifically researched program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979 for the University of Massachusetts Medical School. This transformative course is suited for those coming to meditation for the first time or for experienced meditators who realize they have not yet integrated these practices fully into their lives. The teaching of MBSR at NY Insight is offered by seasoned MBSR teachers\, most of whom are certified by the University of Massachusetts Center for Mindfulness. All of our teachers have decades of meditation practice and study and between them have taught well over 200 cycles of this seminal 8-Week curriculum. \nWhat To Expect: \nMBSR uses meditation\, mindful yoga\, and inquiry/discussion as a way of exploring the habits of the mind to discover how these patterns of reactivity become a major cause of stress and where we could intervene to change them. MBSR helps participants learn to alter their relationship with each moment of their lives and through it derive more joy\, fulfillment\, and meaning from their lives. Classes usually have 25 – 30 participants but may be smaller. The course is experiential: by paying attention to what arises in daily and class practice\, and through exploring the challenges that arise and how these are met\, a supportive and safe container is created for students to feel connected and be inspired. Participants are supported by recorded guided meditations and are expected to practice 30-45 minutes of daily formal meditation as well as various informal practices. \nBenefits of MBSR: \nResearch over the past 38 years indicates that a majority of people who complete this program report a greater ability to cope more effectively with short and long term stressful situations; an increased ability to relax\, lasting decreases in physical and psychological symptoms; reduction in pain levels and enhanced ability to cope with chronic pain and most importantly a greater energy and enthusiasm for life. Some of the Skills People Learn in MBSR Courses: Practical coping skills to improve the ability to handle stressful situations\, Methods for being physically and mentally relaxed and at ease\, Gentle full-body conditioning exercises to strengthen the body and release muscular tension\, The ability to be increasingly aware of the interplay of mind and body in health and illness\, The ability to face change and difficult times in your life with greater ease\, Greater ability to decrease the physical\, mental and emotional effects of the societal stressors of sexism\, racism\, homophobia. \nSome of the Skills People Learn in MBSR Courses: \n\nPractical coping skills to improve the ability to handle stressful situations\nTechniques for being physically and mentally relaxed and at ease\nGentle full body conditioning exercises to strengthen the body and release muscular tension\nThe ability to be increasingly aware of the interplay of mind and body in health and illness\nThe ability to face change and difficult times in life with greater ease\nGreater ability to decrease the physical\, mental and emotional effects of the societal stressors of sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, xenophobia and gender inequity among many other challenges\n\nSliding Scale Course Fee: Sustaining $600 – Base $450 \nPlease choose your rate mindfully and be as generous as possible so that NYI can continue to offer financial assistance to those in need of other NYI offerings. It is important when considering this class to make sure your schedule allows you to attend all 8 sessions\, though if a class is missed there are usually concurrent classes which allow for make-up sessions.\nLimited financial aid and payment plans are available. Please contact registration@nyimc.org for more information. \nDisclaimer: Procedures adhere to current CDC & Still Mind Zendo’s guidelines. Changes may be applied at any time\, based on CDC guidelines.\nFor the health and safety of our staff and community\, please do not come onsite if you are feeling unwell. \nParticipants may register after the orientation for this class but must still view a recorded orientation\, complete the pre-class questionnaire and arrange a pre-class interview with the teacher.

SUMMARY:Online: Interpersonal Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:Online: Interpersonal Mindfulness\n \nwith Elaine Retholtz\n \n\nCourse: Mondays\, January 29th – March 25th\, 2024 (skip February 19th) | 9:15am – 11:45am ET\nDaylong: Sunday\, March 3rd\, 2024 | 9:30am – 5:00pm ET\n \n\n \nHave you ever noticed that even when your formal practice is going well you  can hit the skids when it’s time to communicate with others? Developing  an interpersonal mindfulness practice helps us be more fully present  with others and oneself. \nIs it possible that human relationships are one of the best fields for cultivating mindfulness? Is it possible that we can bring mindfulness to all our interpersonal communications – even those that are virtual? As we move between interacting virtually to being in person again –  whether with friends\, family\, co-workers\, or each other – can practice help us cultivate the skills that can support us in staying present within challenging conversations? \nThe  program was specifically designed for graduates of MBSR programs but is  suitable for anyone with a mindfulness practice who has experience with or is willing to experience stepping out of silent practice and applying  mindfulness in human interaction. \nNote: The  bulk of the class time will be spent reflecting and practicing in dyads (pairs)\, using the Insight Dialogue Guidelines. \nPrerequisite: A Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) class or prior meditation  experience that includes some relational practice – i.e. a willingness to bring mindfulness out of silent formal practice into shared  investigation of the human experience. \nCourse Registration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.\nCLICK HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window.\nPlease contact registration@nyimc.org if you need assistance. \n \nRegistration Fees include Teacher Support\nNew York Insight Meditation Center has streamlined the registration fee levels.
