Individual Instruction in MBSR

Consists of at least eight individual sessions of instruction with one of our instructors. Each session is one hour long and participants are exposed to the same teaching points as in the clinic but will bear more responsibility for their own practice, as time will not allow as much opportunity for shared experience or the benefits of learning within a group setting.
