I cannot sit still for very long, can I still take an MBSR class?

Yes. Mindfulness is not about sitting still or moving slowly. Mindfulness and MBSR are about bring attention to this moment whether it is fidgety or still. Participants will engage in many different forms of mindfulness practices which include sitting, lying down, standing, and moving. Participants are encouraged to take care of themselves. If you need to leave the room and walk a bit and then come back, that is an option. The class may also be a good place to explore the edges of our boundaries with this and to notice what it is like to stay with this and notice if it perhaps changes over time.
