Mindfulness Training for Educators

Our school training programs help educators develop their personal practice and build a foundation in mindfulness, while equipping them with a framework to integrate insights into lesson plans. We empower educators with tools, resources, and strategies to create a ripple effect in the classroom where teachers and students alike benefit from increased engagement, self-awareness, emotion regulation, and a nurturing, focused learning environment. Join us on our mission to build a mindful education community that transforms the way we teach & learn. Thank you to our recent partners for helping us serve hundreds of youth, staff, and parents.

The reminder that we will never be perfect or do everything the "right" way is so valuable. To have a practice so you can remember to breathe when in a stressful situation, and to have the kiddos see you do that ... to model it is everything. A regular practice really helps you to remember that you have that power within you ... and you can transfer that to you kids. This is invaluable.

This is such a valuable message! As educators, we understand the importance of teaching our students to embrace and learn from their mistakes, but it can be difficult to put this into practice. Mindfulness helps us create safe spaces where we can reflect on our mistakes without judgement and make choices from a place of self-compassion. Thank you!

As an early childhood educator who supports parents and you g children…. The practice of mindfulness has been invaluable to my work. Life with young children is full of energy that requires an ability to reflect and make good choices…. To be a mirror for the young child to reflect. I love that CBI is sharing this practice with educators! Hope for the future!

We always judge ourselves, that it's no peace... be gentle w ourselves, calm and take time to hear our emotions and our body ... know that everybody make mistakes but we can do better if we are present feeling ourselves!

""It begins with me. I can not control others but what I can control is the way I respond to the things that are brining me stress. A lot of it starts with us."

"The thing is, that we're not going to be perfect, right? We're just going to make our way in the world, do our best, and our relationships matter, our choices, our words..."

Our lives are made up of many teams; both large and small, professionally, and personally. If we don’t understand ourselves and ask ourselves the hard questions, how can we expect to know where we fit in the team, and what we need from the others? If we ignore the fact that we need to stop and put our own oxygen mask on so that we can help everyone else out instead, supporting the others with no mask will only get us so far.
