Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
It is OK to miss a class if you must. Please let your teacher know. After the class that you missed, your teacher can give you a call to check in about what you missed. It is best not to miss the first class, as we go over important guidelines and introductions.
Attending an MBSR Orientation is required so that you can learn about the 8-week course, meet the teacher, and determine whether the course seems right for you. If the orientation dates do not work for you, please contact the instructor.
Which course you take depends on your preference. If you live in the Pittsburgh area, consider taking the In Person course. If you live far from Pittsburgh, or if you want the convenience of attending from your home, you might prefer the online course. Please be aware that we sometimes must cancel a class due to low enrollment.
Generally, we offer our MBSR courses in the spring (e.g., February through April) and in the fall (e.g., September through November).
