MBSR includes training in the nature of the mind, mindful breathing, a mindful body scan (in which you slowly move your attention from your toes to the top of your head), and yoga. Taking a class in a group is a unique live experience, but for those who don’t have access to MBSR locally, the University of Massachussetts Medical School’s Center for Mindfulness offers an online course (http://www.umassmed.edu/cfm/stress-reduction/mbsr-online/). Their website also has a registry of trained MBSR teachers globally so you can see if you are near one.
