Your mindfulness practice starts here.

A Simple Start to Mindfulness

Simple Start is a 4-week, self-paced online course that teaches you core mindfulness skills: how to reclaim your attention from autopilot, understand your emotional weather system, pause before reacting, and recognize how your presence affects everyone around you.

Each lesson includes 30-40 minutes of teaching, short audio practices, and daily "pocket practices" (30 seconds to 3 minutes) you can use immediately—while walking through doorways, waiting in traffic, or before responding to a tough email. This isn't about adding more to your plate; it's about changing how you show up for what's already there. Whether you're managing a classroom, raising kids, leading a team, or just trying to be less reactive and more intentional, these foundational practices give you tools that last.

How to notice when you're on autopilot

The Three Anchors technique for returning to the present

Why transitions are perfect moments for practice

Lesson 2: Your Weather System

How to read your emotional, mental, and physical states

Understanding the iceberg beneath your reactions

Working with (not against) your brain's negativity bias

Lesson 3: The Pause & Choice

Creating space between trigger and response

The SPACE technique for conscious decision-making

How to access your values when emotions are high

Lesson 4: Ripples & Connection

How your mindfulness affects others

Expanding awareness from ME to WE to US

Building compassion and gratitude practices

Here’s What Our Past Course Participants Have To Say

“I am so grateful I got to participate in the Foundations Training for Mindful Educators. I was able to use the tools and curriculum immediately in the yoga/mindful classes I teach at Montessori Schools in the East Valley. The format of the program was incredibly accessible. It gave a curriculum to use in a classroom, journal pages, activities, ideas, inspiration, and book recommendations. I found the live videos of teachers demonstrating how to teach the lesson to a classroom  very beneficial. I am looking forward to the Advance Training for Mindful Educators.”

-KIT W., PARENT & YOGA INSTRUCTOR @ ROOTED COMMUNITY YOGA PROJECT

“Thank you so much for the lessons and the practice. I feel like I have really evolved as an educator this year. I am grateful for the new ideas to better help my students grow to their fullest potential. Please keep me in mind for the Advanced Mentorship Training starting in August, I am very interested.”

- MAUREEN L., PRE-KINDERGARTEN TEACHER @ DESERT SUN ELEMENTARY

“Thank you so much for this class. I have learned so much and have enjoyed all the practices and time with my kids teaching them and watching them grow. I can't wait to start mindfulness earlier in the school year and see it unfold to it's full potential. Teaching in a multi-age classroom, I'm excited to see how my soon to be 2nd graders will respond and continue to carry on being mindful (same goes to my new first graders as well).”

-COURTNEY S., 1ST & 2ND GRADE TEACHER @ FOOTHILLS ELEMENTARY

“Thank you for this program. I've been wanting to take this class for awhile now and I'm so glad I had this opportunity! I find that the lessons are very appropriate and user friendly for my young students. I look forward to starting the school year with the program this next fall. There are so many great resources that I'm excited to add to my program. Also, I appreciate the focus on us as professionals to create and practice our own mindfulness practice first. Practice what we teach.”
