The M-Body Training is based on the foundations of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, the golden standard of mindfulness research-based programs in the world. The M-Body Training was created to make the essential teachings of MBSR accessible to time-constrained adults who work with or care for children. 

In this training, participants will be introduced to mindfulness through topics including the impact of the brain’s default mode, perception, stress and mindfulness practice on educators and students. Participants will be invited to experience a variety of brief focused-attention practices and will receive a weekly email with home practice suggestions, supplemental learning materials and resources for moving forward.

The many benefits of mindfulness practice range from reducing stress, burnout and anxiety, to increasing sleep quality, pain management and quality of relationships. For educators, practicing mindfulness has also been shown to improve resilience, classroom culture, connection with students and student behavior.
