Just Breathe in School
Just Breathe for Kids™ School Partnerships
Just Breathe for Kids™ brings emotional intelligence, mindful movement, and practical regulation strategies directly into the school day. Our school partnerships are designed to inspire kids how to recognize their feelings, regulate their emotions, and build lifelong EQ skills through engaging, age-appropriate experiences.
We support schools through a comprehensive approach that integrates emotional intelligence into the daily rhythm of the school community.
Our school offerings include:
• Just Breathe Class – A dedicated specials class where students learn and practice breathing, mindful movement, and emotional regulation strategies.
• Just Breathe in the Classroom – A student-led initiative where students guide simple breathing, movement and regulation practices throughout the school day.
• Just Breathe: Creating a Conscious Classroom – Professional development that equips educators with simple, effective tools they can use to support focus, regulation, and classroom culture.
Together, these programs create a consistent and sustainable approach to emotional intelligence within the school environment.
Just Breathe Class
Just Breathe for Kids is offered as a consistent, weekly class during the regular school day—just like art, music, or PE.
Students in grades K–12 participate in scheduled sessions each week as part of their school’s specials rotation or wellness programming. These classes are designed to support emotional growth, self-regulation, and overall well-being in a way that feels fun, age-appropriate, and accessible to every student.
Each session includes a thoughtful blend of:
🧘♀️ JUST MOVE: Mindful movement to build strength, awareness, and focus
🌬 JUST BREATHE: Breathing strategies to calm the body and mind
💛 JUST IMAGINE: Emotional intelligence practices to understand and express feelings
🌙 JUST BE: Guided relaxation to help students reset and recharge
Our goal is to help kids create space between what happens around them—and how they choose to respond.
Just Breathe in school isn’t a break from learning—it’s a tool for learning. When children feel safe, calm, and connected, they’re better prepared to thrive in the classroom and beyond.
Just Breathe in the Classroom
SO simple even a KID could LEAD
Just Breathe in the Classroom is a transformative, student-led mindfulness initiative. In this 10-month curriculum, students learn practical tools for emotional awareness, regulation, and focus, empowering them to not only practice these skills themselves but also lead them within their classrooms and school community.
- This student-led initiative teaches students practical social-emotional learning skills that help them cultivate calm, awareness, and self-regulation. As students build confidence with these tools, they begin leading mindfulness practices for their peers throughout the school day, week, and year.
- Following teacher led training from the Just Breathe for Kids™, students guide simple breathing, awareness, and regulation practices within their classrooms and across the school community.
- By empowering students to take an active leadership role, this curriculum fosters ownership, responsibility, and the development of essential life skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
