Philosopy & Methodology

Mindful Monkeys believes that all children are capable of learning the skills to self-regulate and self-control while remaining curious, silly, and playful.

 

Our science-based approach incorporates self-regulating techniques for parents, educators, and children, resulting in more positive connections and healthier relationships.  Mindful Monkeys has created a safe, fun, and flexible environment to offset the pressures and stressful routines that our children and teens may be facing in today’s world.

Services For Schools

To cultivate a positive climate at schools,  the Mindful Monkeys Method has developed age-appropriate yoga movement classes and other programs such as: 

Social-Emotional Learning and Mindfulness skills from prek-12, helping students find their place in the world and getting them started on the path of a lifetime of emotional wellbeing.

What school teachers think

"I was fortunate enough to have Monika teach my 8th-grade class. She explained to my students how to take care of their social-emotional health using simple strategies and memorable activities. 

Her ability to connect with my students was impressive, quickly gaining their trust and interest. 

The student feedback that I received following her visit included relief (how they could self-regulate during stress), and excitement about their new understanding of their 8th-grade brain (or developmental brain). 

The tools she shared with us became an important part of my teaching, as I was able to integrate her strategies into our daily routine seamlessly."
