For those who can afford it and whose schedules allow, a live MBSR course may be a better option than a self-paced course such as the Palouse Mindfulness course because a regular live MBSR course increases the odds that a student will finish what they have begun.
All courses listed below are taught by qualified MBSR instructors and most are in the $500 range, but the first provider on the list, Imagine, is in a class by itself. Like the others on this list, Imagine's classes are high-quality, yet their instructors teach without pay in order to make mindfulness more widely available, and the only cost to participants is a $50 registration fee. Imagine is able to do this thanks to the generosity of those who make a donation at the end of the class. As you might expect, their classes fill very quickly.
