The Origins of MBSR
A Proven Path to Mindfulness and Well-Being
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a pioneering program developed in 1979 by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Over the decades, it has become one of the world’s most recognised and respected mindfulness programs, helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain through the power of mindfulness.
MBSR combines mindfulness meditation, body awareness, gentle yoga, and practical tools to explore patterns of thought, feeling, and behaviour. At its core, mindfulness is the non-judgemental acceptance and open-hearted exploration of present-moment experiences—whether physical sensations, emotions, or mental states. This intentional awareness allows individuals to respond to life’s challenges with clarity, calm, and choice, rather than react automatically.
The MBSR curriculum not only equips participants with lifelong skills to navigate stress but also fosters a deeper sense of presence, self-compassion, and balance in everyday life. Whether in workshops or flexible sessions, this program offers a practical, transformative path to greater well-being.
