Online 8-Week (MBSR) Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course


Increase Resiliency. Reduce Stress. Transform Your Life.

This 8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction online course teaches the principles and practice of mindfulness, leading to increased focus, self & situational awareness, and emotional regulation, while decreasing stress, improving well-being, and heightening effectiveness in all aspects of life.

Note: Inseus will be offering two MBSR programs starting January 2020. If you prefer a live experience, learn more about our in-person Winter MBSR course in Chicago.

The MBSR curriculum was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center over 30 years ago, and Harvard research shows that eight weeks of MBSR training rewires your neural networks, reduces cortisol levels, improves cognition, memory & executive function, and results in extensive physiological benefits, creating a healthier, more resilient, productive and peaceful you.

This course’s experiential sessions teach the principles of MBSR through mixed modalities, including several types of mindfulness meditation, awareness-building activities, group inquiry and discussion, readings, and mindful movement.

Over the course of our virtual MBSR program, you will acquire a toolkit for integrating mindfulness into your daily life in a variety of ways, including becoming a mindful, compassionate leader. You’ll also learn about the neuroscience and scientific evidence behind mindfulness, stress reactivity and stress response cycles. The benefits include:

  • Reduced stress

  • Improved ability to shift your relationship to the stressors in life

  • Increased attentional control and focus

  • Enhanced productivity

  • Improved sleep patterns

  • Reduced anxiety

  • Increased ability to manage your emotions

  • Increased awareness—self and situational—to enhance your effectiveness and ability to lead strategically in life

  • Enhanced communication, active listening and collaboration skills

  • Improved relationships in your life

Additionally, this online course qualifies you to proceed with MBSR Teacher Certification.

An intensive, experiential exploration of mindfulness, this MBSR course is especially recommended for those in high-pressure careers, anyone facing a significant life-changing event, care-takers or those struggling with chronic illness, or anyone seeking a more purpose-driven life.
