Inner Rhythms is on a mission to provide weekly 20-minute mindfulness sessions in every classroom in the Mountain Views Supervisory Union in VT. These mindfulness practices and tools are offered to whole classrooms in public schools as a way to create equity in rural Vermont communities where there is often limited access to mental health resources. Programming includes body-centered scientifically-backed practices including shake-it-out release exercises, breathwork, yoga/movement, and guided relaxation. 

In the 2025-26 school year, Inner Rhythms launched programming at Woodstock Elementary School, Reading Elementary School, The Prosper Valley School, Barnard Academy and Killington Elementary School. 

 Inner Rhythms  provides equitable and preventative mental health resources for classrooms and schools. 20-minute weekly programming by trained Inner Rhythms instructors provides an accessible option for students to acquire these imperative mindfulness tools without burdening teachers with additional curriculum demands. Crucially,  Inner Rhythms also offers teachers weekly yoga sessions to help manage their own stress and burnout.

 In it’s pilot year, Inner Rhythms successfully completed weekly services to half of the classrooms in Woodstock Elementary School from October through May. Teachers and students who participated in the program reported increased ability to identify emotions and feelings in their body, utilize tools to self-regulate, and connect to others. Parents reported students using Inner Rhythms practices to manage big emotions at home, self-soothe and fall asleep independently, and even help other members of their family de-escalate. This programming is not only making an impact in our schools but its rippling into our communities at large!

 Inner Rhythms is excited to start services in the entire school district with newly hired trained instructors. Services will be provided in the 5 elementary schools in the Moutain Views Supervisory Union school district including Woodstock Elementary School, Reading Elementary School, The Prosper Valley School, Barnard Academy, and Killington Elementary School. An Inner Rhythms curriculum is being developed with the goal to eventually expanded programming throughout Vermont schools.
