The THRIVE TIME framework

Cognitive and neuroscientific studies indicate that regular practice is vital for developing any skill, and mindfulness is no different (Vinogradov, Fisher, De Villers-Sidani 2012). The benefits of mindfulness are maximized when practised daily. 

Based on this evidence, we recommend mini-mindful practices throughout the day, between 5 and 10 minutes daily, and one 30-45 minute teaching session per week. 

We provide lessons that meet the SEL Ontario curriculum objectives and and we have simplified it even further by creating a consistent framework for delivering Koa lessons using the acronym THRIVE TIME.
