Dr. Tushar D. Bhagat is a professionally trained and deeply respected Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) facilitator with a rare blend of scientific rigor and contemplative depth. With over 15 years of experience as a cancer researcher and medical school faculty member, Dr. Bhagat brings the credibility of a seasoned academic and the insight of a lifelong meditation practitioner to his mindfulness teachings. 

For more than 30 years, Dr. Bhagat has been rooted in the Vipassana meditation tradition as taught by S.N. Goenka. He has furthered his contemplative studies at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, and continues to engage with the Thich Nhat Hanh Zen Plum Village community and the Brahma Kumaris tradition. His mindfulness teaching is both universal and inclusive, bridging ancient wisdom with modern science. 

Dr. Bhagat is a certified MBSR teacher, trained through the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and Brown University, and serves as a teacher trainer with Mindful Northwest.

Raised in India, Dr. Bhagat was introduced to yoga and meditation by his parents. His upbringing, paired with decades of practice and teaching, forms the foundation of his compassionate and integrative approach. 

Today, Dr. Bhagat is devoted to sharing evidence-based mindfulness tools that help people flourish—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. His programs are known for their warmth, integrity, and ability to create real transformation in the lives of participants navigating stress, burnout, and life transitions and live life with greater clarity and meaning.
