MINDFULNESS THROUGH MOVEMENT, INC

Mindfulness through Movement (MTM) is a Philadelphia-based organization committed to nurturing the wellness of children in underserved communities. MTM offers school-based mindfulness and yoga programs to at-risk youth in urban Philadelphia. Its mission is to offer kids tools to help them face life with a goal of cultivating steady minds and bodies to improve lives and communities. MTM is based on the belief that in order to learn in the school setting, children need to be able to clear their minds of all those things out of their control. Students learn simple breath and movement practices, an important set of self-empowerment tools, to help them manage the stress of living in an urban setting so that they can relax more and open their minds to learn. MTM is a 501(c) 3 non-profit corporation established to offer mindfulness and yoga programs to youth in urban Philadelphia.
