🧘♀️An 8-Week Journey into Mindfulness in New York
Reflections from the BTSAN PO MBSR Program
In the fast-paced, high-pressure rhythm of New York City, it’s not easy to find a space to slow down and breathe. In the spring of 2025, BTSAN PO proudly completed its first 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course in our Himalayan-inspired cultural space.
MBSR is a secular, evidence-based program developed at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. It’s designed to help participants return to the present moment—without judgment—and reconnect with themselves. Today, it's widely used in hospitals, schools, and wellness centers around the world.
🏔️ Why Practice at BTSAN PO?
Unlike online offerings, BTSAN PO emphasizes immersive in-person experiences. Our space is a peaceful retreat in the heart of Manhattan, designed with Himalayan aesthetics, a dedicated meditation chapel, and a serene atmosphere that supports deep, grounded practice.
The course is led by Janice Leng, a certified instructor from the Brown University Mindfulness Center. With a warm and professional teaching style, she creates a safe and supportive environment for inner exploration.
🌿 Voices from Our First Group
💬 “I honestly didn’t expect much—but I can’t believe how much has changed in 8 weeks.”
One participant, who came in with a stiff body and some resistance to breath-focused practices, found herself gradually opening up. By the end of the course, she felt more at ease in her body and could perform yoga poses she previously couldn’t. During sitting meditation, she became able to stay present with clarity.
💁🏻♂️Another shared:
“My favorite part of each session was the group sharing afterward. Listening to how others related the practice to their daily lives gave me new insights every week. I truly cherished growing together with everyone.”

🧘♀️在纽约，走进正念的八周旅程
BTSAN PO 正念减压课程回顾与分享
在快节奏、高压力的纽约生活中，找到一个属于自己的空间与节奏，并不容易。2025年春，我们在 BTSAN PO 的喜马拉雅空间中，成功开启了第一期 MBSR（正念减压）八周课程。

🌿 来自第一期学员的声音
💬 “我真的没想到，这8周居然让我变化这么多，当初完全没有太多期待！”
一位从未接触过冥想的学员回顾道，她起初身体僵硬，甚至排斥专注在呼吸上。但随着每周的练习，她慢慢放松了，身体也更加舒展，竟然能做到之前无法完成的瑜伽动作。在静坐中，她也逐渐能够保持清明，不再烦躁。
💁🏻♂️另一位学员也提到：
“我自己会特别喜欢课上正念练习完之后的分享环节。每一次听大家对练习的心得体会，都能启发我对生活中某个场景的理解。我们一起成长，让这段旅程变得特别珍贵。”
