Our trained teachers began seeing positive changes after four months of implementation. Overall, the teachers were happier, the students were becoming more capable, and they were building a stronger community of learners. In addition, there was a huge decrease in behavior problems, which led to an increase in learning time.

— Dawn, kindergarten M.Y. Time Teacher

We know about the benefits of mindfulness and movement as it supports social and emotional health in children. Miss Karen provided inservice instruction for our teachers and her passion for doing so was very evident. Her training provided us with the chance to see how movement/mindfulness for adults differs from delivering these skills to children. We were fortunate to secure her for our summer program and further develop our understanding of these techniques as a classroom integration.

My daughter has anxiety and directly benefited academically and socially from the mindful movement that Karen led in her classroom morning routine. The movement and mindfulness that Karen taught the students helped my daughter learn to ease her anxieties and gave her the tools to cope with stressful situations. From Karen and the daily lessons, my daughter has gained confidence, coping skills, and has learned how to calm her mind when it is full of worry. Years have passed and she is still using those tools!

I loved this training! I loved the balance of listening, moving, and chatting. I especially liked that the instructor’s guide provides things that an administrator can do to foster a school-wide culture based on social and emotional learning. This program gives kids tools to know themselves, know their mind/body connection and self regulate!

— Amy, M.Y. Time Instructor

Karen Tripolitis provides a child-centered, engaging, and developmentally appropriate approach to mindful movement for children of all ages. The children enjoy practicing with her while developing their balance, coordination, and focus. Karen's calm and gentle approach encourages even the most reluctant participant to take a breath and give it a try. In a world where we are always on the go, Mindful Roots Children provides us with an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and have fun doing it.

I liked that you reminded us to keep it simple and to only add the pieces of the program as you become comfortable. I loved how you wove in your own experiences as a teacher - you get this world which makes you very authentic!
