What to Expect from the Program
The well-researched MBSR program consists of eight weekly sessions (about 2.5 hours per session) as well as an all-day retreat, and is taught by an approved facilitator in a group setting. Class sizes are kept small (usually not more than 12-15) to maximize the effectiveness of facilitation and group learning.
Mindfulness techniques taught in the program include formal and informal practices of observing our body, breath and thoughts, as well as gentle stretching movements. The MBSR learning process also includes group discussions and some didactic teaching about stress, all of which are exceptionally important to the participant's learning in the program.
Mindfulness in the MBSR program is taught in a safe environment emphasizing self-care and the cultivation of moment-to-moment awareness, a non-striving attitude, non-judgmental acceptance, as well as self-compassion.
The MBSR program is designed to encourage active participation and commitment to practice, and so participants are required to follow up on the home practice assigned to them each week.

The Role of the Teacher
The MBSR teacher is expected to guide participants' learning of mindfulness techniques through the 8-Week MBSR program, encourage their cultivation of a different relationship towards stress, and conduct meaningful discussions and dialogues within the group to facilitate the learning process. S/he should embody the foundational attitudes of mindfulness and be able to take care of the group's safety as well as address boundaries of trust and confidentiality.
It is important to note that the MBSR teacher should not assume the role of a therapist or counsellor in the MBSR program.
