“Thoughts are real, but they are not necessarily true.”

In this course, you will learn over the course of 8 weeks how our thoughts, bodily sensations and emotions influence our stress level, our happiness - our whole being.
By understanding the connections and with continuous mindfulness training, we can learn to take back control of our lives.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an approach that incorporates mindfulness to assist people struggling with life’s difficulties, demands, stresses and physical or mental illnesses.

Great for beginner and advanced meditators alike, this course is designed to help you:
- Respond rather than react to stress
- Change habitual reactivity patterns
- Cultivate self-awareness
- Learn the most established secular mindfulness program

Developed by Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn in the late 1970s in the UMass medical school to help patients with chronic pain, with many elements of Buddhist traditions, the purely secular program and other mindfulness-based interventions like MBCT, have now been adopted into schools, prisons, hospitals, veterans’ centres, and other environments. These programs have been implemented in many other fields, such as; healthy ageing, pain management, depression relapse prevention, children with special needs, drug addiction and intervention during the perinatal period.

The MBSR course is an eight-week workshop taught by a certified trainer.
The first 1 hours session is for orientation and to get to know each other.
It is then followed by 8 sessions of one and a half hour.
You’ll also receive handouts your teacher is available via email throughout the course.

“I have been training with Ian for only seven months but I have seen significant improvements in my strength and flexibility. Even in group training, he is able to customize the workout to fit my needs and abilities. I highly recommend Ian as a personal trainer.” - Neang, Para Triathlete

"I trained with Ian for over 3 years on a weekly basis at the YMCA. Unlike a lot of personal trainers he has an ability to assess structural imbalance in the body (weak core, right vs left imbalance etc) and design a program that addresses those issues, which overall led to an ability to continue exercising injury free and gain strength and functional mobility specific to my sports. Ian kept things interesting and varied and pushed me beyond where I could go on my own. I can highly recommend him for keeping you fit, well and strong!" - Alan Johnson

“I’ve been training with Ian for 6 years. The coaching system that we have in place is a good combination of group and one on one training. It allows for attention to individual needs and weaknesses, which is always good but so is the group setting. It spices up the experience and helps motivate one to stay in shape. Among the things training has helped me with is a measurable improvement on my shoulder limitations.” – Norm, Triathlete
