“It’s almost as though meditation was designed for kids.”

“They just ‘get it’ – there is this elasticity and freedom in their minds which allows them to be present in the moment and free from any external thoughts or pressures. By introducing meditation and mindfulness at an early age, not only can we build on this and help nurture their mind development, but we are also making meditation simple and accessible."

– Andy Puddicombe, Co-founder of Headspace

“Their participation and eagerness surpassed my expectations.”

"I am a teacher of students with learning differences in LAUSD. It was fascinating to see the engagement of my students; those who needed the most emotional support seemed to take to it like fish to water. Their participation and eagerness surpassed my expectations. I began to incorporate weekly meditations into our routines, and have continued ever since."

– Kerry, Middle School Teacher, LAUSD
