Ojas Yoga and Wellness | OUE Downtown Gallery

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an evidence-based, 8-week programme developed in 1979 by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Originally created to support patients coping with chronic pain and illness, MBSR is practised all over the world and in Singapore to help people from all walks of life manage stress and enhance well-being.Grounded in mindfulness meditation, gentle movement, and self-inquiry, the programme offers practical tools to cultivate greater awareness and resilience. Participants learn to relate differently to stress, pain, and emotional difficulty, fostering qualities like patience, non-judgment, and compassion.MBSR is secular and accessible to individuals of all backgrounds. Research shows it can reduce anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, while improving focus, emotional regulation, and overall quality of life.Over the course of eight weeks, the programme combines formal practices like sitting meditation and body scans with everyday mindfulness, helping individuals build a more balanced and intentional approach to life. <h3>Schedule &amp; Venue</h3>Ojas Yoga and WellnessOUE Downtown Gallery Studio (B1-01) 6A Shenton Way, Singapore 068815Schedule:Orientation: March, 25th(Wednesday) - 7-9 PM (Online)8 weekly classes:April 1, 8 , 15, 22, 29 &amp; May 6,13, 20 (Wednesdays) (In-Person)Full-Day Retreat (Compulsory) :May 9 (Sat) 10:30 am -6PM (In-Person) <h3>Course Fees</h3>Early Bird: $500 (Until 8th March 2026) Standard: $599As part of the course requirements, participants are required to complete a pre-course screening questionnaire.The course may be cancelled if not enough participants sign up.
