An orange coffee mug with a tea bag in it and a potted plant sit on a wooden table next to a sheet of paper. There is a brick wall in the background.

This four-week mindfulness practice gives your staff a simple breathing or grounding technique to focus on each week.

Why try it

The start of a school year brings a lot of energy and a lot of demands all at once. This practice gives staff a small, repeatable way to stay centered through the transition. Each week introduces one technique with a clear focus, so the habit builds naturally over the month without asking much of anyone.
