Saratoga Stress Reduction Program Fall Session - Saturdays - 09/13/2014

An eight-week stress reduction and pain Saratoga Stress Reduction Program

The Saratoga Stress Reduction Program is an eight-week stress reduction and pain management course taught by Dr. Selma Nemer, Caroline Russell Smith, and Pierre Zimmerman. Our program is grounded in both practice and science. Students learn multiple forms of mindfulness meditation as well as the latest neuroscience findings about the impact of mindfulness on the brain and our ability to heal. As our students discover they can experience a deeper sense of peace in the midst of a fast-paced, demanding and stressful life, they learn to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease. While the program is very personal and therapeutic, it is also solidly practical and offers concrete approaches to dealing with physical and emotional distress. This course is based on the program created by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. We have offered this program since 2005 and have over 1000 graduates. The majority of our participants use their health insurance to help cover program costs. To register or for more information, contact Dr. Selma Nemer at (518) 581-3180 ext. 307.
