Mindfulness Programs
Research-Based Mindfulness Education for
Schools and Communities
We partner with schools and organizations throughout Bergen County to bring research-based mindfulness programming that supports student attention, emotional regulation, and social-emotional learning — with a primary focus on elementary schools (K–5).
Programming is grounded in Mindful Schools K–12 methodology and research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison's Center for Healthy Minds.
For Schools:
In-School Mindfulness Programming
Schools are increasingly recognizing mindfulness as an essential tool for supporting student wellbeing and academic success. We currently partner with Palisades Country Day School in Closter, providing weekly programming and professional development for staff, and have taught early childhood mindfulness in the Ridgewood Public Schools.
We work primarily with elementary schools (K–5), as well as preschools and secondary schools, to integrate mindfulness practices into the school day.
Program formats:
Weekly classroom sessions (20–30 minutes)
Short-term introductory units (4–6 weeks)
Semester or year-long programming
After-school enrichment options
Teacher professional development
Parent education workshops
Programs are tailored to your school's schedule, goals, and student needs — and can be integrated into specials, enrichment time, morning meetings, or as dedicated mindfulness periods.
What a Session Looks Like
Each session returns to the same anchoring sequence, while the themes and practices deepen over time.
Mindful Bodies — settle and arrive
Breath Practice — the breath as an anchor
Core Practice — attention, emotion, or kindness focus
Reflection — connecting the practice to daily life
The consistency is what makes it work. Predictable structure is how the skill builds.
All programming is non-religious, inclusive, and trauma-informed — suitable for all students regardless of background, with practices that always feel safe and optional.
Find the right program for your needs:
Beyond school-day programming, we offer mindfulness workshops for educators, corporate teams, and community organizations.
For Educators: Professional development that supports teacher wellbeing and provides tools for integrating mindfulness into classrooms.
For Organizations: Workplace wellness programs designed to enhance focus, reduce stress, and foster more positive work environments.
For Community Groups: Workshops at wellness centers, yoga studios, parent groups, and community organizations.
Beyond the School Day
What people are saying…

Today... my son gushed and said you were the mindfulness teacher, and how much he loved class. I couldn’t believe how much he opened up and was engaged.

Kevin held an 8 week Mindfulness course for my 2's, 3's and Pre-K 4's classes at the Infant Toddler Development Center. The children responded with enthusiasm and excitement, and it was amazing to witness the calmness that took over in the classroom. Kevin's approach and presentation of breathing techniques helped guide the children toward practicing mindfulness and meditation. Many parents commented that their children were coming home teaching breathing exercises to their families!

This was a treat to experience. When our children learn to “lean in” to mindfulness, they can learn to quiet their minds, practice better focus, and enjoy a more calm demeanor.
