Testimonial
“Having the opportunity to learn practices of self-care and self-discovery has been a life changing experience. It is a journey of week by week, day by day personal growth. The skills you practice while in the course extend to outside of class and strengthen your mind, focus, attention, and body. Wonderful class.”
Veronica Rivera, Senior Class Counselor, South Dade Senior

“You are the world expert on your life, your body, and your mind, or at least you are in the best position to become that expert if you observe carefully. Part of the adventure of meditation is to use yourself as a laboratory to find out who you are and what you are capable of doing.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn - Full Catastrophe Living.
Mindfulness is a way of learning to relate directly to whatever is unfolding in your life, moment-to-moment, with awareness, compassion, acceptance, and curiosity. This course is a secular, scientifically informed approach that operates in harmony with any belief system or spiritual background and can be practiced by people of all backgrounds. No prior experience is necessary.
Over four decades of scientific research at medical centers all over the world demonstrate that training in mindfulness can positively and profoundly affect participants’ ability to reduce medical symptoms and psychological distress while learning to live life with more enjoyment and balance.
Join Mindful Kids Miami for Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), the eight-week course developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and the University of Massachusetts Medical School’s Center for Mindfulness.
