Summary

This study tests whether adding an 8-week online mindfulness program, called Mindfulness in Motion, to usual care helps people with high blood pressure improve their blood pressure, weight, stress, sleep, and well-being. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the mindfulness program plus usual care or usual care alone. Over 12 months, they will complete short questionnaires about stress, sleep, and resilience.
