MBSR Anytime™ is a self-paced online program facilitated by two fully certified MBSR teachers. This program intends to offer the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program with fidelity to the original one. It also offers the opportunity for people who can not or are not ready to commit to a specific day and time to engage in the full program according to their personal schedule.
What is Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)?
Mindfulness is a capacity that we all have. It is that essential quality of open awareness that allows us to bring ourselves fully into moments of transcendent experience. Perhaps you have felt this in nature, or in music, or gazing at a newborn child. Mindfulness feels magical at those times, being fully present in mind, body and heart feels very powerful. Mindfulness can be cultivated, practiced and brought on line so that we can gain clarity, wisdom and understanding in all aspects of our daily lives. This has been long known in the wisdom traditions, with centuries of study and practice including meditation and yoga offering tools and methods for learning.
The science behind the practice of mindfulness has now been studied for decades and its value in improving wellness and relieving stress related symptoms well documented in hundreds of peer reviewed research articles. In 1979, Jon Kabat-Zinn developed a systematic intensive in person eight-week training program for mainstream use as a support for patients with chronic pain and other chronic illnesses at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, or MBSR, was soon found to help participants manage chronic pain, reduce symptoms of depression, identify and reduce anxiety symptoms, and reduce stress and its consequences. As Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) was used in other populations, it was shown to bring a wide range of benefits, including to healthy individuals seeking improvement in wellbeing and stress coping.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is a specific and structured program, taught by certified MBSR teachers who have undergone rigorous training and the certification process, as well as practice mindfulness themselves on an ongoing basis. Due to the needs of our modern society, the original in person program expanded to live online classes.
Our world has changed dramatically since 1979, the need for effective coping strategies for living well despite escalating daily stress even more pressing since then. Access to traditional MBSR programs is not possible for everyone, either because of time constraints, scheduling, location, or personal challenges.
Rossana and Irena listened to the many students who longed to benefit from the program. They wanted to bring them into their own real unscripted authentic classroom for the genuine experience and give them the gift of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. And so it is with great hope for your benefit that they present to you MBSR Anytime™.

What people say about MBSR Anytime™:
I was able to benefit, as a participant, from their collaborative live online MBSR course in 2020, during the very challenging times of the Covid-19 pandemic. This course helped me to stay focused, to strengthen my resilience and to develop my self-compassion.
ODILE, HEALTHCARE CONSULTANT, MIDFULNESS TEACHER, SWITZERLAND
Taking this program enabled me to focus on my issues and not be distracted by other things. At the end of each session, I felt fully relaxed.
Taking the program motivated me to continue to practice mindfulness, with the support of a group. I would recommend this program unequivocally.
ANDY, EYE SURGEON, USA
Over the next eight weeks we were introduced to, and practiced, many meditative techniques and exercises that filled, to overflowing, our MSBR ‘toolbox’. Our home is still dotted with smiley faces and red dots (Do a class you’ll understand).
I would recommend MSBR to everyone. Take the time to give yourself time. It’s worth it.
