Mindfulness for Workplace Stress: How Does It Compare With HRV Biofeedback? A Randomized Trial

About This Episode

Can mindfulness practice help employees manage workplace stress, and how does it compare with HRV biofeedback? This episode of www.YogaInsightPod.com explores a randomized controlled trial by Amelie Edith Brinkmann and colleagues from the University of Tuebingen, ARCIM Institute for Academic Research in Complementary and Integrative Medicine, Harvard Medical School, and University Hospital Tuebingen. The study found meaningful within-group increases in mindfulness and self-compassion, although the mindfulness intervention did not significantly outperform HRV biofeedback or the wait-list control in reducing overall workplace stress.
