Mindfulness

In April 2019, “Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and New York City Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza announced the launch of a pilot program to bring the practice of mindfulness, meditation and yoga to East Brooklyn schools, and eventually, to institutions across the borough”.

“Mindfulness is the process of paying attention to the present moment in an accepting, nonjudgmental way, a practice one can develop through meditation, breathing techniques and other exercises like yoga.”
