We’re creating school cultures where students feel calm, focused, and ready to learn.
At Movement & Mindfulness, we partner with schools to bring mindfulness-based tools to students and educators — during the school day, in the classroom, and with your goals in mind.
The Problem:
Students at all grade levels are more distracted and deregulated than ever — 70% of teachers have reported a decline in student attention since the pandemic.
Teachers are working harder than ever to meet the needs of their students — but they shouldn’t have to do it alone.
The Details: What’s Included
The Solution: A Partnership with Movement & Mindfulness
Movement & Mindfulness offers simple, effective practices that help students strengthen focus, regulate emotions, and build essential social-emotional skills — all without adding to teachers’ already full plates.
We believe that teaching movement-based mindfulness practices is part of the solution to improve student’s focus, self-regulation, and emotional resilience. Mindfulness helps reduce perceived stress, improve sustained attention, and support management of difficult emotions.
