Looking for a mindfulness curriculum for your school that’s easy to implement, engaging for students, and aligned with social-emotional learning (SEL) goals?

At Starlight Studio, we provide school-based mindfulness and movement programs designed specifically for teachers, PE instructors, and school administrators. Our curriculum includes 20-minute yoga and introductory archery lessons that can be seamlessly integrated into your existing physical education, health, or SEL programming.

These short, structured lessons teach students tools for self-regulation, focus, and emotional well-being—while also encouraging movement, confidence, and cooperation. Whether you’re looking to enhance your classroom mindfulness practices, expand elementary or middle school PE enrichment, or introduce calm-down strategies during the school day, Starlight’s curriculum is flexible, effective, and rooted in whole-child wellness.

We also offer teacher training, so your staff can confidently lead the lessons without needing prior experience in yoga or archery.
