Mindfulness in Motion® - Youth (MIM-Y)

Mindfulness in Motion®-Youth 2.0 is a cutting-edge, comprehensive curriculum designed specifically for middle and high school students.

The curriculum is intended to help students cultivate positive character traits and life skills through the development of our Four Pillars to Empowerment®:

  1. Strong Mind®: Self-management through practicing focus and concentration

  2. Brave Heart®: Building confidence, courage, and compassion for self and others through practices of self-acceptance and overcoming challenges

  3. Wise Body®: Self-awareness through knowing the body and its signals for physical and mental/emotional health

  4. Noble Spirit®: Cultivating care and compassion for others through connection activities and shared challenges.

Flexible Implementation

MIM-Y is designed to be integrated into many aspects of school life, including physical education (PE), traditional classrooms, athletics, and beyond.

Its lessons, focused on mental health and well-being, can create a ripple effect of systemic change by positively impacting everyone from the individual student, to the classroom to the school, to families, to the district, and to the community.

*Training by members of the Live Free Mindfully team is provided to ensure implementation with confidence and integrity.

MIM-Y Sample Video >

MIM-Y includes 10 full-length, full movement videos (approx. 30 min), each of which is themed with one or more of our foundational pillars (Strong Mind®, Brave Heart®, Wise Body®, Noble Spirit®) to develop positive character traits and support mental and emotional well-being.

Additionally, the manual contains full illustrations and instructions for classroom chair or adapted movement.

Each video has four sections that include:

  1. Check-in (cultivate self-awareness)

  2. Breathing Practice (calm, energize, balance)

  3. Mindful Movement (move body to enhance learning)

  4. Calming (guided relaxation to calm and clear the mind)

Lesson Plan and Extended Activities >

Each MIM lesson video comes with a corresponding downloadable Lesson Plan that includes a video intro script, key messaging, discussion or self-reflection points, and three additional extended activities. Teachers can use the extended activities in a variety of ways, including continuing the lesson for remaining class time after video, post-curriculum completion to reinforce lessons or skills, or between lessons for student engagement and development.
