Madeline Ebelini, registered yoga teacher, stress reduction educator and founder of Integrative Mindfulness, in Bonita Springs, will deliver two presentations on the internationally acclaimed Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program pioneered by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, at 5:30 p.m., June 23, and 10 a.m., June 24. In this introductory presentation, Ebelini will give an overview of the eight-week, evidence-based MBSR program that will begin in September and answer any questions.

Course participants can dramatically shift experiences of stress through time-tested and scientifically sound techniques based on mindfulness, including meditation, yoga and home practices using guided audio and video recordings; learning about the history of the MBSR program, the scientific research confirming its benefits, the neurobiology of stress and how mindfulness changes the brain for the better; and the Day of Mindfulness Retreat.

Chronic conditions exacerbated by stress include anxiety, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, recovery from cancer, insomnia, high blood pressure, diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
