Mindfulness in Education

Mindfulness in Education A Duke/UNC-Chapel Hill collaborative research study on the effects of yoga and mindfulness in K-12 e (CIS), and Y.O.G.A for Youth NC.

This project brings together an interdisciplinary team of Duke and UNC-CH faculty and students with local organizations and schools for a multi-year research study. We are housed under the Bass Connections program at Duke: https://bassconnections.duke.edu/

We aim to analyze the effects of regular yoga and meditation practice on middle school students’ physical, emotional, and social health outcom

es through both qualitative and quantitative measures. We have two community-partners in our research- Communities in Schools of Orange County, Inc. CIS is a non-profit that provides afterschool programming in all seven middle schools and the alternative high schools in Orange County, NC, which aims to “surround students with a community of support, empower them to stay in school and achieve in life.” Y.O.G.A for Youth is one of the oldest non-profit youth yoga organizations in the United States, which seeks to provide underserved youth with tools of self discovery that foster hope, discipline and respect for self, others and community.
