Meditation Lab for K-12 Schools: Simple Tools to Relax the Body and Settle the Mind


Listen Later

Jennifer Monness, a longtime yoga and meditation teacher, was inspired to bring mindfulness into schools when she witnessed, first hand, the extreme stress experienced by high school students. She founded The Meditation Lab and was able to convince schools to integrate her program into the school day.

Listen for her best practices for working with kids of all ages, tips on financing a school program, and why mindfulness can be such a powerful tool during this time of unprecedented uncertainty.

A special treat at the end of the podcast is an interview with three of Meditation Lab students!

Throughout her 25 years of teaching, Jennifer gained first-hand experience of the powerful impact the mindfulness practice can have on building inner resilience to navigate physical, mental, and emotional stress.

As a parent to middle school, high school, and college-age children, Jennifer understands the overwhelming pressure students feel to achieve in their lives. Mindfulness is a powerful way to relax and ease the stress of an overscheduled life.

"A consistent meditation practice can play a key role in overall mental health and well-being. By increasing one’s capacity to focus attention and manage challenging emotions, meditation helps the practitioner navigate work demands and personal challenges with a greater overall sense of ease.Jennifer Monness
