how it started

Emily Hunt started Busy Being in 2017 to offer a natural alternative to support mental health for children.

Growing up, Emily struggled with ADHD, OCD, and Tourettes. It wasn't until she discovered yoga and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a young adult that her symptoms subsided. Yoga, meditation, mindfulness, social-emotional learning provided natural avenues to mental health. Upon graduating from the University of Dayton, she went on to study yoga for children. For years she taught classes to help children harness natural focus and peace and developed a method that works. She has taught hundreds of school teachers, therapists, counselors, mental health professionals, parents and peace-lovers how to effectively teach the practice of yoga and mindfulness to children.


Today, Busy Being has developed into a program that offers an original K-12 curriculum, a growing staff of dedicated teachers, original songs, professional development and more. "The Being Project," the K-12 Social Emotional Learning Curriculum, is a proactive solution to support the mental health of young people. Our lessons are guided by our staff locally in Cincinnati, or implemented by your staff through our professional development courses.


Our mission is to provide Cincinnati and beyond with more peaceful and supported classrooms.

how it's going

With public schools across the country seeking Social Emotional Learning (SEL) support for their students and staff, "The Being Project" offers hands-on, yoga-based SEL classes and workbooks for students and professional development for staff.

As a proactive measure to support the mental health of young people, students are guided through mindfulness activities, discussions, journal prompts and interactive activities through our data-driven curriculum for K-2, 3-5, Middle School & High School.

"The Being Project" team meets at Cincinnati Public School, Riverview East Academy, twice weekly to meditate in our Calm Room with teachers before students arrive.


Students and staff decompress in the Calm Room and receive 30 minutes of Social-Emotional Learning each week.
