"Mindful yoga gave me practical tools that were easy and manageable. I noticed a huge difference in my classroom whenever I start the period with a short mindfulness practice. Students are more tuned-in, engaged, and focused. I highly recommend".
OUR CORE VALUES
Accessibility and Celebrating Diversity
Our aim is to give educators the experience and tools they need to bring mindful yoga to their own classrooms. Our program is developed by a registered yoga instructor who worked as a secondary science educator in the NYC public school system for over ten years. Because of our experience, we believe that educators know their students best and are the most meaningful mentors to model and facilitate mindful yoga practices in their own classrooms.

Nourishing Self and Community
We are better when we are together. During our trainings we offer a number of empathy and equity practices in order to foster self compassion as well as a sense of community and belonging. These practices are meant to be brought to educators classrooms in order to foster a safe and inclusive learning environment that promote acceptance, vulnerability, learning from one's from mistakes and encouraging the process of continual growth.

Mind and Body are Connected
The body and mind are connected. When we experience tension in the mind it manifests on our body as tension and vice versa. We practice mindfulness by using the body and breath as a anchor for our awareness. By practicing just a few minutes of mindfulness consistently throughout our day, we and creating new neural pathways in our brain that allow new ways for dealing with conflict, stress, impulsive urges, and tension.
