About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
I've watched many TED talks, and I find this one of the most inspiring yet..well done, keep up your wonderful work..
"Best not smack somebody today" 😂 love this movement
This TED talk actually made me tear up...so precious
This touched me deeply. Definitely my favorite Ted Talks. I am so excited to begin a journey of meditation and mindfulness. Beautiful. I love these guys. These are the kids that are usually forgotten. I hope a movement begins. This is awesome.
This was such an empowering TED talk. Their amazing work is building better individuals, better students, better parents, and better communities.
AMAZING...THANK YOU FOR DOING THE "WORK"! CONTINUE TO LIVE IN YOUR TRUTH, HAVE SELF-LOVE, & SELF COMPASSION...
What should be taught in classroom all over this country. #fundamentallifeskill #onebreatheatatime
One of the best TED Talks I've seen
I Love these guys! They are way better yoga teachers than I am. This is what it is all about. Great Job! Please keep it up!
Much Love and Respect to you.
This is so inspiring! I wish this would go viral!!
This is beautiful! Thank you gentlemen for investing in our youth♥️
Love the work your doing ! Pure inspiration!
You guys are awesome! You are on the right track! What the schools are teaching kids today is how to solve their problems with revenge, and violence. The very thing the the schools do to the kids is the very same thing they don't want the kids to be or do. Schools don't want kids to be vengeful and violent. But to a kids mind punishment = revenge. Being Paddled by a teacher or the principle = solve your disagreements/problems with violence. I'm wondering how do you deal with religious parents who believe yoga and meditation is evil, from the devil?
You are an inspiration! I love everything about this!
Y’all are so inspiring. We need this! I used to be a school nurse and have always thought it would
Be dope if I could teach and parents Mindfulness and yoga. I’ve been feeling a calling to get my yoga teacher training certification. Could you tell me where I can learn more about your program or some of research behind your movement?
i had to watch this for a school project but it was surprisingly really good
these guys are doing a great thing, good for them ^^
this is just amazing!!!!
These guys are absolute legends. Love it! ps. I love you
Awesome!
Thank you for this video. I discovered the power of mindfulness myself a couple years ago and would love for it to be taught in every school! I'd like to add French subtitles to this video share it in France. Could you please turn on community contributions so I can do so? Thanks a lot!
Awesome work!
Absolutely beautiful 😻 I work with children young adults all over the world 🌎 cleanse the blood 🩸 feeds the brain 🧠. Anchoring In breathing wow 😳 to the brilliant kiddo great DEMO .train the trainer is what I do
Love this video and your movement! So beautiful and wonderful to see students connecting to the bigger picture and helping others do the same. I just found you all and will refer you to every group I know of in Baltimore that you could use your help. I have been spreading mind/body and spiritual education, counseling, connection, light and energy, in Rockville, MD to help make the universal light so much stronger and brighter. I didn't even know about your group as I've been teaching students, therapists, nurses, and clients the power of love, compassion, validation, mindfulness, living with ease, and within one's authentic-energy and space. Getting out of one's head and spending time in one's heart daily when deep breathing is definitely the answer to universal peace and oneness. Deep breathing slowly, becoming aware of our awareness within, gets people more mindfully connected to themselves, others and the bigger picture to help the greater good, right? Come visit me at Marilyn, AUTHENTICALLY U! on FB. I'm on your page too and totally inspired by your group!!

This shows that anybody can benefit from meditation. You do not have to be a buddhist. You will benefit even more if you learn vipassina meditation and philosophy behind.
