What commitment does the MBSR Course demand?
The MBSR Course does require a significant commitment to your own health and to us.
If you register you will be asked to attend all the classes for the 8 weeks and to practice daily home assignments for about 45 minutes each day.
Do I need any special materials?
A Yoga mat is required for the Mindful Yoga exercises. Loose clothing is advised, as from the first evening the Course involves stretching exercises.
How do I Apply for the Course?
You can send an email to us at mindfulbalance.geneva@gmail.com. If you decide to pursue the Course, you fill in and return to the same email address an ApplicationForm which can be downloaded on this site. A brief meeting is then set up with the Instructors, usually at the end of the Orientation Session, to clarify any issues and allow any last questions. The final decision on participation in the Course rests with the Instructors.
How much does the Course cost?
It costs 520 CHF for the 8 weeks and the All Day Session – 9 sessions involving about 28 hours of training. This includes the Practice audio materials and the Course Handouts. The Course Costs are payable up to the end of the second week of the Course.
There is no possibility for a refund after Week 2 of the Course
What is the Orientation Session?
