8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course, Warsaw

About the event

8-Week MBSR Course in English – January–March 2026 Saska Kępa, Warsaw I’m excited to announce the new edition of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course starting 17th January 2026 at a beautiful & grounding space of Dobrostan studio in Saska Kępa. This is a rare chance to join a certified MBSR programme in English in Warsaw — offered only twice a year. What is MBSR? Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an evidence-based program blending meditation, body awareness, breathwork, and mindful yoga. Over 8 weeks you will learn how to: - Reduce stress and anxiety - Calm your nervous system - Improve focus, sleep, and emotional balance - Navigate challenges with more clarity and resilience - Be more present and cultivate inner peace - Understand how your body and brain handle — and can reduce — stress. MBSR courses have been offered worldwide for over 40 years, following strict standards that ensure a consistently high-quality, transformative experience. I’m honoured to be a fully certified mindfulness teacher trained to deliver this program. Is MBSR for me? This course is for you if you: - Seek practical tools to navigate everyday stress and the challenges of an unpredictable world, from global issues like pandemics and inflation to personal uncertainties. - Are eager to enhance your mental health and boost your overall sense of well-being and resilience. - Feel overwhelmed by the constant demands of life and want to find a way to feel more grounded and in control. - Desire to break free from negative thought patterns and cultivate a mindset that fosters resilience and inner peace. - Aspire to live a more joyful, balanced, and fulfilling life. No previous mindfulness experience is required - just a willingness to commit and learn! Benefits of regular mindfulness practice: - Reduce stress and anxiety, both mentally and physically - Calm and soothe the nervous system - Lift mood and reduce negative emotions - Improve focus, productivity, and clarity - Boost self-esteem and overall well-being - Enhance sleep quality and energy levels - Cultivate greater appreciation and presence in everyday life Is MBSR therapy? No, MBSR is not a form of therapy, and I’m not a certified therapist or psychologist. However, mindfulness is believed to act like a missing puzzle piece for many people — a gentle, healing approach that supports greater self-awareness and emotional clarity. Many therapists also integrate mindfulness into their work because it helps clients regulate emotions, understand themselves more deeply, and navigate challenges with more ease. ✨ Course Details: 📅 17th January – 7th March 2026 Weekly Saturday sessions + Mindful Silent Day Location: Dobrostan, ul.
