Mindfulness Room @ PS 288 The Shirley Tanyhill School

The Mindfulness Room @ PS 288 Room 329D is a new project at The Shirley Tanyhill School in Coney Island. The Mindfulness Room aims to provide scholars a space at school that is safe and peaceful, allowing mental relaxation and self-reflection to help ease the transition between home life and school culture.

The Mindfulness Room is unlike any other classroom at school. It is spacious and welcoming with neutral colors and yoga mats. Most of all, it is clutter free - no desks and chairs! This room is designed to be calming, with its unique custom created storage cabinet just for yoga mats, attractive soft round seating area, 3 large flat screens that provide visual guidance for mindfulness and mental/emotional/social well-being practices.
