Join Mindful Kids Miami for their Mindful Teachers Training Program (MTTP), an 8-week experiential MKM-created series. MTTP uses didactic teaching, discussion and role play to explore and embody the qualities of a mindful teacher and to learn to bring children and teens, grades Pre-K through 12th, age-appropriate mindfulness practices, games, activities and social skills based on social-emotional learning. 

The Mindful Teachers Training Program includes:

• Mindful Movement brings children into an awareness of their bodies and changing physical sensations as they move through various poses which take them out of automatic pilot; it also teaches awareness of breathing.


• Mindful Games & Activities teaches children how to pay attention and to increase focus.


• Mindful Relaxation relaxes children through guided awareness of breathing, felt sensations in the body, feelings, which helps regulate over-stimulation and teaches proper breathing.


• Kindness Practices increases compassion and empathy in children both for themselves and others; leads to increased understanding of differences as well as a sense of connection with themselves, others, and the world around them.

Mindful Kids Miami, Inc. (MKM) seeks to bring the benefits of mindfulness to children from pre-K through the 12th grade in Miami-Dade County and throughout Florida. Mindful Kids Miami helps educators, health providers and caregivers teach mindfulness skills to children and youth in schools and other settings.
