Vivi and Headspace Collaborate to Bring Mindfulness to K-12 Classrooms

V Vivi, a leading classroom communication and collaboration platform developed solely for education, launched an exciting new and unique relationship with Headspace, a global pioneer in mindfulness and meditation, with the objective of enhancing social-emotional wellness for all students.

The collaboration will provide all Vivi users with easy and effective mindfulness and meditation routines designed by Headspace for use in K-12 schools.

Speaking to the media, Simon Holland, co-founder of Vivi.io and a key driver of the partnership, expressed his excitement to collaborate with Headspace to provide teachers and students with easy access to resources needed to build mindfulness skills, to help them focus, recharge, and get the most out of every lesson.

…by delivering access to mindfulness and meditation practices designed specifically for K-12, we hope we can play a role in reducing stress and anxiety in the classroom and further improving emotional health and wellness for all students and teachers…

Adding further, he said, ““By delivering access to mindfulness and meditation practices designed specifically for K-12, we hope we can play a role in reducing stress and anxiety in the classroom and further improving emotional health and wellness for all students and teachers.”

Research found that 30 days of Headspace reduced stress by 32%, eight weeks of Headspace reduced anxiety symptoms by 19%, and Headspace increased attention by 14%. Until recently, it has been difficult for instructors to gain insights into their pupils' social and emotional needs and help them in the present. By integrating Vivi's emoji-based polling functionality with Headspace's mindfulness exercises, teachers may provide a quick, confidential, whole-class check-in to get a temperature read on how students are feeling about the day or lesson, and then offer focused aid to those students in need.
