Stress Reduction Program

The Stress Reduction Program consists of eight weekly classes and one all-day class. There are 30 hours of direct instruction.
Morning classes meet from 9:00-11:30 am; evening classes meet from 6:00-8:30 pm.

Note: The first class is extended an additional thirty minutes and the last class is extended an additional hour.

Dates for the Summer 2013 Classes

The required all-day class for the Summer 2013 session is Saturday, August 3rd, from 8:45am - 4:30pm.

We want you to have the best opportunity to pick, in advance, the class that is your first choice. When you schedule your Orientation Session, please be prepared to choose one of the class days and times listed above.

For the sake of continuity, it is best that you attend all sessions of the class for which you have signed up. If for any reason, you are unable to attend your regularly scheduled class, we encourage you to make up the class by attending a different class that same week.

For you to fully benefit from this program, you must be willing to make a strong commitment to attend all classes and to practice daily home assignments for eight weeks.
