Originally developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979, the 8-week Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course has become the gold standard evidence-based, intensive exploration of the practice of mindfulness, and what it means to practice mindfulness in your own life.

Whether you're new to mindfulness or exploring further, consider joining us for a free 45-minute session to learn about mindfulness, experience short practices to try out in your everyday life, and discover practice opportunities within an active online worldwide community.

A gentle introduction to mindfulness for accessing the deep wisdom, well-being and wholeness that reside within each of us. The course consists of 3 classes and covers 3 meditation practices: sitting, walking and body scanning.

East Coast Mindfulness offers a professional MBSR teacher training pathway that results in dual certification: you will earn certification as both an In Person and Online MBSR Teacher. All teacher training programs in the pathway are delivered live, entirely online, to a small cohort of fellow teacher trainees from across the globe. The program is delivered by a senior MBSR teacher and teacher trainer, and is designed to get you teaching as soon as possible. Additionally, teacher trainees are mentored individually while teaching their first three MBSR courses.

A monthly gathering of MBSR teachers for learning, professional development, and community building, exploring topics related to MBSR and teaching MBSR. Open to MBSR teachers who have taught at least one 8-week MBSR course and want to continue to learn, grow, and be in community with other MBSR Teachers and with MBSR Teacher Trainer Rebecca Eldridge.

East Coast Mindfulness offers opportunities for group and individual mentorship throughout the year.

A 9-session, 20.25-hour program open to MBSR teachers of all experience levels, to explore assumptions about what MBSR is and what it is not; about what “good teaching” of MBSR is and isn’t; about what it means to practice mindfulness and MBSR; about your personal and professional experience of teaching MBSR; about your personal meditation practice, and more.

A free weekly 30-minute session of teaching and meditation (with occasional sessions consisting only of meditation practice). Held every Thursday, 12:15 - 12:45PM US Eastern Time. If you can't join us live, you can always watch videos of the Worldwide Online Sit sessions on our Videos page.

A monthly gathering of graduates of 8-week Mindfulness-Based courses (such as MBSR, MBCT, MSC, and so on), for continued learning, practice and community, to explore various mindfulness topics through teachings, practice, silent reflection, and speaking & listening, under the guidance of MBSR Teacher and Teacher Trainer Rebecca Eldridge.
