Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) can help you cultivate a more creative relationship with the challenges in your life, relying completely upon the capacity for awareness you already have. Among its many health benefits, MBSR lowers blood pressure and speeds the healing process. Recent studies even suggest that meditation practice may offset changes in the brain caused by aging. It is a clinically proven method for diminishing stress and its side effects.
Most people completing MBSR courses report lasting benefits, such as:
-An ability to cope more effectively with stressful situations
-Lasting decrease in physical and psychological symptoms of stress
-Reduction in pain levels and an enhanced ability to cope with chronic pain
-Greater enthusiasm for life
Course fee: $340, includes 8 evenings, Saturday session, and course materials (book, syllabus, and CDs).

Quotes from student evaluations:

“Suvanna has a helpful approach in that she is guiding us and not acting as if she has all the answers. She does share her wealth of experience in an accessible way.”
“The course and its underlying principles resonate deeply with me.”
“Loved Suvanna! Kind, warm, thoughtful, insightful, wise.”
