Our Research-Based Approach
Mindful Prana's curriculum is built on scientific evidence from developmental psychology, neuroscience, and educational research.
The Science of Mindfulness for Children
Research has shown that regular mindfulness practice can physically change brain structures in ways that improve attention, emotional regulation, and resilience to stress. For children, whose brains are still developing, these benefits can be even more profound and lasting.
Studies from leading institutions have demonstrated that mindfulness programs for children can lead to:
- Enhanced executive functioning and cognitive control
- Reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress
- Improved social skills and peer relationships
- Greater academic achievement and classroom behavior
Our Program Evaluation
We continuously evaluate the effectiveness of our programs through:
- Pre and post assessments of key behavioral indicators
- Parent and teacher feedback surveys
- Longitudinal studies with partner schools
- Qualitative interviews with children and families
