About Mindfulness-Based Adult Education

Mindfulness has been incorporated into the K-12 curriculum with a lot of success providing students and teachers with tools that will serve them beyond the classroom and for the years to come. The use of the techniques and strategies is not limited to children and can be easily and with great success adapted for an adult student.
