One of the primary focus of our organization is to introduce mindfulness and holistic wellness to economically disadvantaged school-aged children. A multidisciplinary team of physicians, school teachers, and yoga instructors helped Peaceful Planet create the 5M Program.
The 5M program consists of
After School Program
Utilizing the tenets of the 5M Program we created the After School Program. We are thankful to Hope Wills, M Ed, RYT 200, for helping us create the after school yoga curriculum, framework which allows delivery of the After School Program. Our goal is to make this program, which fosters holistic wellness, available to economically disadvantaged school-aged children who would otherwise not encounter or have limited access to this type of program.
NOTE: The Program can also be incorporated during the school day in short bites.
Mindfulness in the Classroom, a Video Series
Debuted in Fall of 2019 and utilized by Kipp Connect Elementary School and High School in 2020 during the pandemic. This series consists videos on the topics of Mindful Breathing, Mindful Movement, Mindful Stillness, and Mindful Eating. These videos are specifically designed to be used in a classroom setting, and as such, no specific space or equipment is needed. This is a freely available source for your school.
