A fun and calming class designed for kids in grades 2–5. Join anytime!

This weekly donation-based class, led by Kristi McDougall, introduces children to mindfulness through playful practices, simple breathing exercises, movement, and activities that help them build focus, resilience, and calm.

✨ Come as you are. Kids don’t need to bring anything special — just wear comfortable clothes and be ready to explore mindfulness in a fun way.

✨ Weekly but flexible. This class is ongoing and can be joined at any time. Each session stands alone, so there’s no pressure to commit to a series.

✨ Donation-based. We believe in sharing these skills early to help shape children’s lives in meaningful, lasting ways.

🧘 What is Youth Mindfulness?

For Beginners:

Mindfulness helps kids learn to slow down, breathe deeply, and notice their thoughts and feelings without judgment. In this class, practices are taught in simple, playful ways — like mindful breathing, gentle movement, and short visualizations. Kids will leave feeling calmer and more confident in handling big emotions.

For Experienced Kids (or returning students):

Each class also introduces new techniques to deepen focus and awareness. Students explore a variety of mindful tools — from breath practices to guided reflections — that help them carry mindfulness into everyday life. Returning students will continue to grow their practice, while each class still feels fresh and engaging.
