Through Mindfulness in Schools classes, students practice cultivate the 5 cornerstones of intentional awareness:  Presence, Attention, Focus, Empathy & Reflection.

Through experiential classroom exercises involving breathing, listening, sensing, relaxing and paying attention, students have the opportunity to begin to understand how their thoughts, emotions and behaviors influence their experience and success at school, at home and in their community. 

With skills of self-understanding and self-comforting, students can build greater mental, physical, social, emotional and behavioral intelligence, which can improve participation, performance and enjoyment everyday.

Mindfulness training is soundly based in the most current developments in neuroscience and psychology. Many schools, hospitals, businesses, veteran programs, recovery centers, and correctional facilities are integrating science-based Mindfulness training into wellness programs to help adults and children learn to better manage stress, anxiety and mental health challenges and to achieve greater quality of life.
