SUMMARY:In-Person: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course \nwith Tushar D. Bhagat \n\nIn-Person Course: Thursdays\, June 6th – August 1st\, 2024 | 10:00am – 12:30pm ET\nIn-Person Daylong: Saturday\, July 13th\, 2024 | 9:30am – 5:00pm ET \nPlease note this will not meet on the Thursday\, July 4th\, 2024 due to the national holiday. \n115 West 29th Street\, on the 12th Floor in New York City \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: \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. We currently don’t have any MBSR financial assistance at this time. \nPlease Note: The MBSR orientation is an integral part of the course and is a required element of the course. \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. Once you have registered\, the teacher will contact you to make these arrangements. \nFree Online Intro Session:\nThursday\, May 23rd\, 2024 | 6:30pm – 9:00pm\nFree In-Person Intro Session:\nThursday\, May 30th\, 2024 | 10:00am – 12:30pm\nFree Online Intro Session:\nThursday\, May 30th\, 2024 | 7:00pm – 8:30pm\nIn-Person Course Sessions:\nThursdays\, June 6th – August 1st\, 2024 | 10:00am – 12:30pm ET\nIn-Person Daylong Session:\nSaturday\, July 13th\, 2024 | 9:30am – 5:00pm ET \nCourse Registration:\nIf you are registering via mobile devices such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the form if it is partially obscured or cut off.\nCLICK HERE to open the registration form in a new window for an easier process.\n \nPlease contact registration@nyimc.org if you need assistance. \n
