The investigators plan to conduct a 12-week proof-of-concept study to examine whether mindfulness based meditation (MBM) combined with a home-based exercise program is more efficacious than exercise alone on improving mobility, balance and executive function outcomes for stroke survivors. Should the results find MBM to enhance outcomes for CVA survivors, MBM could be considered more broadly for applications within physical therapy. It is a low cost and low risk intervention option. All participants in the study will benefit from receiving instruction in the home exercise routine. Half of the participants will further benefit from learning about MBM.
