Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) has long been considered the gold standard in stress reduction practices due to its documented success rate. Since 1979, more than 600 studies demonstrate the efficacy of combining mindfulness practice with gentle yoga and breath-based meditation to create this powerful evidence-based program.
