Course teacher
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an evidence-based program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn that integrates mindfulness, meditation, and movement to promote inner balance and resilience. It effectively alleviates chronic pain, improves medical symptoms, and helps manage anxiety and depression, enhancing participants' quality of life. Mindfulness encourages us to engage with the present moment, breaking free from past and future distractions. Practicing in a group setting fosters awareness and motivation, supported by friends and skilled teachers. The teachings provide a valuable framework for our experiences, making the journey more effective when shared with others.
Participants in the MBSR class should attend all weekly 2.5-hour sessions over the 8-week program to maximize benefits. Active involvement in experiential learning exercises is essential for developing emotional regulation and stress management skills. Engaging respectfully with instructors and fellow participants fosters a supportive environment. Completing the introductory session will clarify course structure and expectations, while maintaining a personal mindfulness practice outside of class will enhance learning. Participants are encouraged to reach out to the instructor or course coordinator with any questions or concerns.

COURSE TEACHER
Hi! I’m Trina.
I am so happy that you are here to visit! I’m eager to share with you the tools that have worked for me and for many of my students who practice mindfulness. I’ve taught mindfulness workshops, classes and retreats for the past 10 years in a variety of settings, from public sectors in prison and educational institutions, to spiritual and non-profit centers. I would love to show you how to deepen your capacity of awareness to take on all the challenges of day to day life with a greater sense of stability and ease, and perhaps, maybe even with joy.
I look forward to the possibility of working with you!
