Community Schools

You already have SEL. We help make it usable.

Yoga Mouth partners with Community Schools to provide experiential mindfulness, movement, SEL, family engagement and professional development for students, staff and families, designed to complement existing BCPS structures, not create another system to manage.

Built to fit Community Schools

One partnership. Multiple school priorities.

BCPS Community Schools use research-based strategies across six interconnected areas. Yoga Mouth programming can support multiple Community School priorities through a single partnership.

  • Student Wellness
  • Social-Emotional Learning
  • School Climate
  • Behavior + Engagement
  • Belonging
  • Family Engagement
  • Expanded Learning Opportunities
  • Disability Inclusion
  • Staff Professional Development
  • Community Partnerships
  • MTSS Tier 1 + Tier 2 Supports
Culture of belonging, safety + care

Students practise:

  • emotional and physical awareness
  • self-regulation
  • healthy boundaries
  • relationship skills
  • conflict and repair
  • compassion and accountability
  • mindfulness and stress-management strategies
  • connection with trusted adults and peers

Our goal is to create spaces where students feel safe enough to participate, connected enough to belong, and supported enough to practise difficult skills.

Supporting BCPS MTSS

Tier 1 and Tier 2, intentionally non-clinical.

BCPS defines Tier 1 SEL around students' ability to understand and manage emotions, develop empathy, establish positive relationships and make responsible decisions. Yoga Mouth makes those concepts experiential.

Tier 1

Universal prevention + skill building

Community-building, mindful SEL, movement, meditation and shared regulation skills for broad student populations.

Tier 2

Targeted small-group practice

Additional practice in regulation, relationships, engagement and restorative skills for students who need more repetitions.

Disability-inclusive

Yinjas Across the Spectrum

Adapted mindful SEL and movement for students with disabilities and higher support needs, maintaining meaningful participation, challenge, connection and belonging.

School climate + behaviour

We don't replace your behaviour system.

We help students and adults develop the skills needed to use it.

Yoga Mouth supports Schoolwide Positive Behavior Plan priorities through a relationship-centred approach that combines clear expectations, strong boundaries, mindful awareness, restorative accountability and repeated opportunities to practise regulation.

Collaborative partnership

Every Community School is different.

Programming can be adapted around:

  • Community School needs assessments
  • School Progress Plan priorities
  • existing SEL initiatives
  • student populations
  • disability and accessibility needs
  • family-engagement goals
  • school climate priorities
  • available schedules and funding
  • existing community partnerships

We collaborate with Community School Facilitators, administrators, educators, families and school teams to identify where Yoga Mouth can add capacity without duplicating work already happening.

You identify the needs.
We help build the experience.
