Evidence-Based Mindfulness That Fits
Into Every Classroom
Bring daily, audio-guided mindfulness to PreK-12th Grade classrooms on one platform. 5 to 10 minute practices in English and Spanish sequenced across all 180 school days.
The programs
Intentionally designed for each age group
All four programs follow the same daily rhythm. Experience a practice from each one below.
*Available in English and Spanish
PreK to Grade 1
Early Learning
Young children’s brains are building the foundations for self-regulation, so a few minutes of daily practice helps them learn to notice their feelings, calm their bodies, and get ready to learn before those habits take hold. Each practice includes the popular Inner Explorer song.

The daily practice
What classrooms experience each day
Daily Practice is the foundation of the program. Every day, the teacher presses play on the daily practice in the classroom, and students listen and follow along. This routine cultivates consistent regulation to prepare minds for learning and give back time from managing behavior throughout the school day.
See why this works
-
180 daily practices
One practice for every day of the school year, five to ten minutes each, played in sequence.
-
Journaling inside the practice
Every practice in Elementary, Middle, and High School ends with a prompted reflection. A teacher can submit one for the class, or students can write in their own journals.
-
Feedback after every practice
Optionally, the class shares how each practice made them feel for deeper exploration of their experience.
