The Mindfulness in Motion Program (MIM) is built upon decades of robust research on mindfulness teaching that reduces participants’ stress and increases their ability to remain calm.
Can something as simple as deep breathing make you calmer, more grounded and more productive? Evidence from the Mindfulness in Motion research team shows that it does.
The data-driven Mindfulness in Motion Program has supported 1200+ adults needing stress reduction while demonstrating translational research's real-world impact.
Evidence-based research benefits
Research shows participants have experienced the following benefits from practicing Mindfulness in Motion:
Study: 40% reduction in stress
Evidence from Surgical Intensive Care Unit nurses’ salivary alpha-amylase, a sympathetic nervous system activation biomarker, indicated the MIM program reduced participants’ stress by 40%.
University hospital faculty and staff significantly increased their resiliency and work engagement after participating in Mindfulness in Motion.

Study: Significant reduction in burnout, sustained a year beyond program end
The research showed that health care professionals who participated in MIM experienced a 32% reduction in burnout, with significant increases in their resiliency and work engagement.
Study: Improved sleep
In a study on cancer survivors and caretakers, MIM participants showed significant improvements in sleep quality, resiliency and perceived stress. Survivors and caregiver participants noted the importance of having a mixed group of survivors/caregivers in the group intervention.
Study: $4,300.00 annual cost savings
Mindful awareness interventions for employees produce an average of $4,300.00 annual cost savings for up to five years post-intervention.

MIM participants show significant improvements in the following areas:
- Lower perceived stress
- Improved resilience and work engagement
- Improved sleep quality
- Inflammation in overweight individuals, measured via CRP levels in the blood
- Reduced salivary alpha-amylase, a biomarker of sympathetic nervous system activation
- Associated changes in neural reactivity in older adults
- Increased sleep quality
- Improved engagement at work
- Enhanced neuroplasticity in older adults
