- A 7-week Mindful Teacher immersion program to school staff
- A 14-week Mindful Classroom Community Training to students and teachers
- A yearlong classroom-based training, education, applied practice and integration support which ensures classroom and school-wide communities are adopting the practices as their own.
Upon completion of the training program, schools may elect to provide students on-the-mat yoga classes.
