Wuf Shanti is such a wonderful way to spread messages of peace and mindfulness and help children learn yoga and positive messaging at a young age! I highly recommend! We need more Wuf Shantis in the world today!! ~Alex Dawson
I’m a teacher, and I love the Wuf Shanti message. The young kids love it because it’s fun, and the music and books are great. They learn communication, mindfulness, and social emotional learning. For the older kids, there’s no dog costume, and it’s about mental and physical health and wellness, and helps them deal with stress, depression, and anxiety. It is so important right now with everything going on in the world. I’m looking forward to the mindful kids peace summit in February. I fully endorse the Wuf Shanti curriculum for children, tweens, and teens. It has exceptional educational value, and would be an asset to any school. ~Erin Manly Lahey
So good for health, wellness, peace, and positivity. Great for kids and teens everywhere! ~Lillian Lazo
Wuf Shanti is the perfect tool for today’s youth. As a mom and step-mom to five children, I know how difficult raising kids can be. Wuf Shanti brings about a positive message and is also a fun way for kids to learn about mindfulness. The message that is shared is one of inclusion and positivity, which is perfect for all ages! I also think it would be great if teachers started implementing Wuf Shanti’s mindfulness message in their lesson plans. Good job on the Wuf Shanti TV Show! ~Lissette Rozenblat (Mommy Warrior)
As a psychologist and a parent, I’m always for more mindfulness for kids, and Wuf Shanti teaches mindfulness techniques at an early age in such a fun, accessible way! I would advocate for children to join Wuf Shanti to learn mindfulness techniques at an early age. This will help them problem-solve as they become teens and to become peaceful, content, and well-functioning adults. I believe most parents are looking for ways to impact our children’s future in a positive way and hopefully impact the world. No program could hit the mark more than Wuf Shanti. With its promotion of health, wellness, & happiness in the next generation, and encouraging peace and positivity, Wuf Shanti would be extremely beneficial for children and teens everywhere. Parents, Schools, and Mental Health practitioners will truly appreciate Wuf Shanti. ~Dr. Christopher Willard
Wuf Shanti is educational, entertaining, and refreshingly loving and peaceful in its message. I love the music, the graphics, the video, and the character. It’s like a ray of sunshine! Put a little love and joy in your life. Adults and children will enjoy these uplifting, educational videos and books. Teach your children health and wellness, to be kind people, and to live with a positive attitude. The books have beautiful vibrant illustrations and is written in rhyming prose. It not only teaches children a “mindful state of mind”, but also introduces them to rhyming, new vocabulary, and appropriate behavioral responses in a variety of situations. It is wonderful for both entertainment and education. Parents, educators, and therapists can effectively use this program with children and the kids will love it! Beautiful uplifting endeavor for all ages! Full of hope, peace, and love!~Dr. Gail Robin Zelko
We love Wuf Shanti and the message that all kids are the same, regardless of race, religion, ability. Keep them coming Wuf! We need more educational programs like this one to benefit the next generation. In an age of increasing complexity and stress, the Wuf Shanti early learning program is a useful educational/entertainment tool for children 3-10 to learn coping skills. I believe that mindfulness, movement, and meditation, as well as breathing exercises and positive thinking, have the potential to help the healing process. My kids love the adorable character, videos, music, games, app, and books. They learn about kindness, diversity, inclusion, communication, gratitude, and social emotional learning in a fun and interesting way. ~Supna Shah, WeGo-Kids, Raising EI, Parenting TV

Thanks for sharing and for all the important work you do teaching kids about yoga, mindfulness, kindness and gratitude! ~Jennifer Smith Miller – Confident Parents, Confident Kids
My kids adore Wuf Shanti! It is about mental and physical health and wellness, and learning at a young age how to deal with emotions so they can grow up less depressed and anxious. Which is something as a nation our children are missing.When children learn these skills at an early age, the skills become second nature and the kids can grow up to deal with emotions or illness in a productive way and grow into adults that contribute positively to society. I cannot say enough good things about Wuf Shanti and I fully endorse the Wuf Shanti curriculum for children. It has exceptional educational value in teaching the morals and values we all want our children to develop to be happy, healthy human beings. Love this and everything it stands for!! We need more positive messages/shows like this for our youth, especially now!!! Looking forward to the kids playing with this app which teaches them such valuable lessons !! We love Wuf ~Kathryn Robinson

A great idea, teach children yoga at an early age, great for their minds, spirits and bodies. ~Liora Davis
Our son loves Wuf Shanti!! It’s never too early or too late to teach your children about yoga and mindfulness! Please like and subscribe to Wuf’s YouTube page and Facebook!! The Wuf Shanti app and videos have been rated best for kids and for good reason. Great life and health lessons. ~Linda Clayton
Wuf Shanti was created by a now 13 year old to influence other kids to help make a difference in this world. Wuf Shanti was recently picked up by PBS as a test with the hope of becoming a national series. Wuf will reach the next generation of kids and show them how to use yoga, meditation, and mindfulness tools to deal with their emotions, stay positive, help the healing process, spread kindness, and live in gratitude. Way to go Adam! You are doing amazing things to make this world a better place. If you’re not following Wuf Shanti, what are you waiting for? ~Melissa Blum

This is so cool. Adam, aka Wuf Shanti interviewed me a few years ago, and I’ve been watching and supporting ever since. My daughter loves it, and I just love kids learning yoga from kids. ~Terri Cooper-Smith, 305Yoga, Connected Coalition
Loving everything about this. Download it today… it’s free brainfood and soul-food for your kids!! ~Ruthi Davis, Superfly Supermom Blog
This website was recently introduced to me thanks to Ruthi Davis. It’s called Wuf Shanti and is amazing. I know it’s for kids, however, it just broke down the chakras and after being on it for ten minutes I learned so much information and discovered simple tricks to share with my children. The website has everything from videos, gallery’s, activities, resources etc. I really wish our school system would teach more about living in gratitude, looking on the bright side of life, health, wellness and how to be happy. Maybe then we would have less depressed and anxious people walking around because we would all be a little more mindful of one another. This is pretty awesome. ~Holly Davidson
I think it’s a great idea to incorporate yoga into school days. The kids sit so much and are constantly concentrating and taking tests that taking a “mental” break to breathe and stretch is a nice way to reset for the next activity. ~Larisa Gross
Great concept for getting kids into physical activity no matter their limitations and supporting one another. Having a program like this on TV is wonderful for the kids to follow along! Good for their health, mind and body! ~Samantha Galui
“The light in me that honors the light in you”. What an honor to see how Wuf Shanti can help to make this world a better place. Bravo. Sending you gratitude! Thank you for spreading kindness and acceptance. 🙂 What a wonderful concept and show for kids! Positive thinking is healing! ~Kathryn Guylay

Wuf Shanti’s early learning program is a fun way for young kids to learn coping skills. Learning about things like mindfulness, inclusion, and kindness is so important at a young age. My daughter loves the dog character, videos, music, games, app, and books. ~Cheryl Himmel
I’m a pediatrician and a parent, and I endorse Wuf Shanti, a wonderful educational wellness program for kids. Wuf Shanti promotes health and wellness in children. The program espouses great values and strives to teach the next generation to think positively and be kind to others. Parents with children, teachers, health care practitioners, and children themselves will appreciate the curriculum as it is fun and can help kids cope with whatever life throws their way, whether it is stress, anxiety, or illness. Research has shown that mindfulness techniques can help with the healing process, as well as to help children learn to deal with emotions in a productive manner. ~Dr. Robin Leader-Landau
As a yoga devotee myself for over 30 years, I am personally aware of the myriad of mental, physical and emotional benefits it imparts, and I recommend it to my clients as part of an overall treatment protocol to relieve anxiety, depression, stress and to increase mental clarity and emotional awareness in one’s daily life. I was immediately charmed when I learned that Wuf Shanti was the vision of a young boy, that he had the awareness to create a tool for all the world’s children and their families, as a path to heal the planet. I cannot imagine a finer program to support, endorse and disseminate to children everywhere. In an age of increasing complexity and stress, what a useful educational/entertainment tool this would be to share as a lifelong coping mechanism and global outlook. I believe in the following quote, as I have dedicated my professional life to helping persons of all ages live fulfilling, healthy lives……….Wuf Shanti can be a partner to those of us in the counseling professions. “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken adults.” F. Douglass. I can only hope you will include this amazing show in future programming.~Alexis Castorri, M.S.
As a parent, I would advocate for children to join Wuf Shanti to learn mindfulness techniques at an early age. This will help them problem-solve as they become teens and to become peaceful, content, and well-functioning adults. ~Adam Lieberman
I believe most parents are looking for ways to impact our children’s future in a positive way and hopefully impact the world. No program could hit the mark more than Wuf Shanti. ~Anat Lieberman
A wonderful message for everyone, kids and parents alike, teaching the value of kindness, patience, love! Love it! Beth Fierro
What a great show for kids and adults! I love the mantra Think well to be well! I tell my son that all the time. We need to teach our kids how to deal with difficult situations and to love each other even if they are different from us. This is a great start for them. ~Arunima Roy Yadaav
With its promotion of health, wellness, & happiness in the next generation, and encouraging peace and positivity, Wuf Shanti would be extremely beneficial for children and teens everywhere. Parents, Schools, and Mental Health practitioners will truly appreciate Wuf Shanti. ~Phoebe Haupt
Kind Words About Adam
WOW, this kid right here is going to change the world. I am proud to have been his teacher and can’t wait to see what he has in store for us!

Thank you for creating Wuf Shanti and for helping us share our mission, Adam! We really appreciated your questions and the conversation. Keep being a light – you’re doing amazing things. ~Sofia Monroe
This kiddo rocks and comes from great stock! What 14 year old that you know is a certified yoga teacher, has created a business Wuf Shanti all about mindfulness (that goes to hospitals to cheer kids up), has Wuf Shanti on channel 2, and is consistently getting national press while helping others? Pretty amazing. ~Jen Kimball
So proud of Adam for creating Wuf Shanti and programs that teach mindfulness, meditation, acceptance, gratitude, diversity, and promote healing in a way this world so needs. Check out their website, app, books and videos on YouTube. Wuf Shanti has such a positive influence and I am so proud of the impact you are having individually, in homes, schools, communities and now globally. There is no limit to where you and Wuf Shanti can go. ~Dr. Lisa Sirotta-Weiner
Over the past 2 months I’ve had the unique, extraordinary pleasure of having an ongoing conversation with Adam Avin. Adam is changing the world. There is no better way to put it. He’s the creator of the Wuf Shanti Children’s Wellness Foundation, founder the Kids Association for Mindfulness in Education, and co-founder of the upcoming Mindful Kids Peace Summit. He spreads love, insight, and hope to his fellow tweens and teens by teaching them meditation, yoga, and mindfulness techniques via his alter ego, Wuf Shanti (the world’s coolest yogi dog character). Please read my story on Adam on @goop today– and support this amazing, optimistic, precocious young man. And be sure to check out the #MindfulKidsPeaceSummit – a five-day online mindfulness program Feb 11-15 that will introduce concepts of positive psychology, mental health, and #wellbeing to kids. It’s free, it’s global, and it’s vital. ~Stacey Lindsay, goop Magazine
Kind Words About the Mindful Kids Peace Summit (MKPS)
*This is anonymous feedback from our surveys. Whoever you are, we thank you!
Adam has done an incredibly important and inspiring thing: creating a summit chalk-full of information that’s representing the voices of youth, and including them, rather than only have adults “talk at” teens. This was a very noble idea, and for someone so young to execute it and have so many rich conversations to promote awareness around mindfulness and wellness practices was a joy to behold.
It is very beneficial for the students. Mindfulness is something new and the event was like a training. It was wonderful learning for me and my students.
I really enjoyed the MKPS as the speakers gave good insights in how they bring mindfulness to children and young adults. I would recommend taking part in it every year.
This Summit was amazing, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in mindfulness.
I think the MKPS was brilliantly done especially since it was the first one ever produced. It’s a tool that is very much needed around the world in today’s society. “Mindfulness” is a subject that should be added to every school curriculum. Children of all ages need to learn to communicate better. They need to learn how to deal with their emotions. The MKPS teaches them how to cope and express their feelings. It teaches them about diversity, inclusion, and antibullying. It even teaches them breathing techniques. The MKPS should be mandatory in all schools around the world!
Kids encouraging kids to be mindful, to be kind, to be optimistic, and idealistic – and engaging adult experts in discussions about how and why – is a remarkable achievement.
I believe that the peace summit was a great experience for my middle school students. Some of the key concepts are ones that the kids could relate to.
I thoroughly enjoyed the event. I was interested in the speakers and the resources they provided. A fantastic varied collection of people from different subject areas.
It was a valuable summit for both educators who teach mindfulness and for students as well. Great speakers and topics!
I am very grateful that you have put together this summit. I am definitely joining again next year if it’s happening!
The MKPS was not only beneficial for me students, but also made a profound impact on me. I was able to gain insight on new techniques that I can incorporate in my classroom as well as an individual.
I loved the MKPS event because there were so many bite sized takeaways that I can implement into my work. As the mindfulness coach in a public school district, I find that online events are usually geared towards elementary aged students, which is crucial; however, I thought more was needed for tweens and teens, and you provided that with your speakers and your two thoughtful hosts. Thank you!
This was an amazing experience. The ability to share what you’ve learned to help others is always a blessing. Joining so many other like minded industry professionals is such an honor. I loved it, and recommend educators get onboard with sharing the content with their students and parents.
Every exposure to hearing the benefits of peace education helps teachers and educators pull all of the necessary components into their brain as far as having an awareness and preparation for incorporating strategies for helping students build resilience into the school day. The MKPS helped me form essential strategies for beginning to build a stronger curriculum for peace and mindfulness in my classroom.
I liked that the interviews were done by a person who is about the same age as my students… it helped them relate to the interviews and their content better. My students enjoyed hearing the celebrities speak about themselves and give advice. I enjoyed the parts that I was able to watch, unfortunately I was unable to view all the videos I wanted to watch. I like that there were some resources that I can use in the future (handouts, videos, etc.).
Bravo to Adam and Helen!!!!! It takes a lot of work and to-ing and fro-ing to pull a great summit together. You did! Thank you.
First, I loved that a bright teen was able to play such an important part. As you asked questions and mindfully listened to answers, I knew how important mindfulness is in your life.
The recovering from trauma interview(s) were incredibly impactful. Adam did a wonderful job interviewing the many guests!
Enjoyed the interviews with Dan Siegel, Bob Roth, Hazel Ferrer, to name a few. Also found Adam’s questions very interesting for a young teen. Helen did an excellent job with her interviews and kept the discussions relevant!
Short clips with people who use mindfulness, the tween/teen or student aspect, encouraging nonviolence, speakers that spoke authentically. Most of all being led by Adam. He is such an inspiration and special thanks to his parents for all they do to support this worthwhile effort.
Kind Words from the MKPS Experts

Thank you, Adam, so much for the work you’re doing. ~Alexandra Penn, Champions Against Bullying
I am so inspired by you! Thank you for leading us all and creating MKPS. You are living your life with a deep passion and purpose, and you are a model for both adults and teens. My own 14 year old daughter is benefitting from your work and is so impressed with what you are doing. I particularly enjoyed or interview. You were so present, articulate, authentic, and easy to talk with. Please continue to do this work. You have our full support at the Greater Good Science Center. ~ Amy Eva, Greater Good Science Center
An inspiring teen has put together the awesome MKPS for teens, their teachers, and parents. Some credit goes to Adam (for creating KAME), his enthusiasm and passion for this. I wanted to support him. In the broader sense, I wanted to do it to bring these tools to kids and preferably in skillful high quality meaningful ways. Adam’s generation is really proving that you have the passion and energy and resilience to make a difference, whether it’s with this or gun control or a lot of different movements that are happening, so to be able to support his passionate voice in making a difference, I think is really important. ~Dr. Amy Saltzman, Still Quiet Place
Good luck, and fantastic work you’re doing in the world. Thanks for doing that. ~Andrew Jordan Nance, Mindful Author
Thank you so much for doing this work. It’s really powerful and inspiring to see someone your age taking the mantel and taking the lead and offering these to other students because that’s how change is going to occur so thank you so much for this opportunity and I hope you have lots of success too. ~Argos Gonzalez, Little Flower Yoga and Mindful Schools
You’re great, and you’re a great leader. You are leading the way, and in 10 years meditation will be everywhere, and you will have played a key role in making that happen, so I congratulate you. ~Bob Roth, the David Lynch Foundation

You’re doing a good job in the community. Everyone who’s listening to this, listen to my man Adam. He’s knocking it out of the park. He’s being very generous for the things he’s doing for these kids right now. I had no one like him to teach me about things like yoga, meditation, and things of that nature. I didn’t even know that stuff existed as a kid. Adam keep doing what you’re doing, we love you. ~Joe Lockett, the Joe Lockett Show
Congratulations to you Adam, your family, Helen, for putting this all together. Very impressive, well done. We can see what a range of speakers you have. It’s a very powerful opportunity for teachers and young people to hear from lots of different voices. ~Kevin Hawkins, Mindwell-Education
I think things like what you’re doing, Wuf Shanti, peer to peer is how our students learn the best. So when students like you take the initiative, we need to take advantage of programs like this, and make sure that our students well-being is where it needs to be. ~Laurie Rich Levinson, Broward County School Board
I haven’t met many young people quite like Adam. The MKPS has his fingerprints all over it, which speaks to his dedication and compassion for people- especially in his generation. I’m proud to be part of such a special event for kids, created by a remarkable kid. Adam, you’re segways are awesome, you know what you’re doing.~ Maureik Robinson, Inner Explorer
That’s [Wuf Shanti] an amazing story that you translated all that experience into this organized platform and to really reach out to those different locations beyond the borders of the US that speaks volumes to your reaching dreams and that’s what it’s all about, having that sense, that confidence, not everyone has that platform, congratulations, kudos. ~ Dr. Regina Washington, Centerlink
I totally respect what you created here. I think it’s great.~Dr. Rick Hanson, Mindful Author
You both are doing this, it’s amazing, one of the reasons that attracted me to it is someone, a young folk, doing his thing, putting this together and that’s what I like to see, empowering young people and putting them in positions of power. It’s never the adults that make the right changes. It’s the young people that push for the change that’s necessary.~Dr. Sam Himmelstein, Psychologist
Adam, thank you for being an inspiring young leader! It was a lot of fun talking to you. You give me hope for the future of our world. ~Dr. Dzung Vo, Pediatrician
Adam, it was a delight getting to know you, Wuf Shanti, and KAME (through our Psychology Today interview). I know that you are aware of how much Wuf’s philosophy contributes to others, and to your own well being. Packing these insights for the world and tirelessly promoting them has put you on a special path. I look forward to seeing where it leads you, and the creative ways you will negotiate the mountains and vallys along the way. ~Laura Martossi, Psychology Today
Adam is an amazing young man with so much knowledge at such a young age. His focus and interest in helping children cope and learn about mindfulness is a huge blessing in this world. I felt Adam’s amazing energy and vibration throughout the summit. Thank you Adam for shining your beautiful light on this world. ~Sue DeCaro, Parent Coach

MKPS – By kids for kids. Very impressed with the young ones going for what they believe in. In Belgium, they are currently making a stand for climate, and here, it’s all about peace. If you are dealing with 11-17 year-olds, this might be for you! ~Nancy Batens
This is a fantastic program for your middle and high school kids, led by a teen who is already changing the world for the better! ~Laura Bakosh, Inner Explorer
Not only does focusing on mental health, mindfulness, and wellness have a positive effect, but schools, parents, and educators all over the country should know that focusing on these topics has an amazing side effect of improving academic achievement and increasing standardized test scores. It’s a win-win, no doubt! ~Michelle Goldberg
Wuf Shanti is an amazing young man from the US who is highly respected for his mental health work with children and young people. Yes, they are talking about children in the US but the problems are no different to the UK. Our services are stretched so if we can implement prevention strategies at school level and build resilience at an early age, this is a positive step. ~Graceful Minds Children’s Yoga
So cool to see Maroon 5 recommend MKPS. If you have tweens or teens and want them to learn to live in wellness, and peace and positivity, check out this online event! ~Center for Mindful Living
Lily and I are in love with Wuf Shanti and their mission – Mental health education and acceptance. And, when Maroon 5 openly supports the cause, even better!!! #MKPS ~Cassie Dixon

MKPS – created by a 14 year old! We need more young people like this! ~Lori Casey
I’m so touched by the mission and vision of MKPS that I wanted to personally share with my community. It came about because a 14 year old wanted to help kids live heathier and happier lives. This should be in every school. Imagine what our world would be like! Wow! Such an inspiration! ~Jenny Ngo, Global Quantum Healing
Love this teenager who created a peace summit to change the world. ~Brad Meltzer, Best Selling Author
