Knoxville, TN, November 15, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Four times a year, The Mindful Center Knoxville will be offering the 8 Week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program, modeled after Dr. Jon Kabat Zinn’s MBSR program at the UMASS Medical School Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Healthcare, and Society.
