Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an 8-week program that teaches participants how to consciously and systematically apply mindfulness, a sustained, awake way of being, in order to connect with what is genuine, true and healing within each of us. In this program, participants work to improve the ability to face difficulties, to manage the challenges of life, and to improve the ability to be with and enjoy all that life has to offer. Modeled on the program originally developed at the University of Massachusetts Medical School’s Center for Mindfulness, MBSR training provides a proven means for helping people to reduce symptoms and discomfort associated with physical and emotional pain, and to improve a person’s ability to comfortably be with stressors and pain that cannot be eliminated. Practices of very gentle yoga and various forms of meditation will be used, during both formal practice as well as the ordinary moments in everyday life. There is a required commitment of 45-60 minutes of guided home practice each day during the program.

Margaret Fletcher is enrolled in the professional certification program in MBSR at UMass Medical School. She offers MBSR and related mindfulness training to individuals and organizations that seek to improve well-being and effectiveness in work and life. Margaret has been a teacher of mindfulness through the non-dual community White Mountain Sangha since 2008. She has a 200-hour RYT certification in Ashtanga yoga, and teaches yoga and meditation at Living Yoga Studio in Concord, NH.
