Bérengère Marie Moore
Founder & Educator
I am an Ontario certified teacher, as well as a yoga and mindfulness instructor with extensive experience in pedagogy, wellness and social-emotional learning. After over 20 years teaching in K–6 classrooms and leading yoga & mindfulness programs for children and educators, I founded The Zen Corner to support well-being in schools and communities in meaningful, lasting ways.
Yoga and mindfulness have been part of my life for over 2 decades. These practices have helped me manage stress, find balance and cultivate a calmer, more intentional way of living. Over the years, I’ve also witnessed firsthand the transformative benefits these practices can bring to children and educators alike.
In today’s busy, high-pressure world, students and staff are navigating increased stress and constant demands. Through my classroom experience and the many workshops I’ve led, I have seen how mindful movement, breathwork and socio-emotional learning can improve focus and attention and enhance emotional regulation. These practices also help reduce anxiety and stress, strengthen resilience and foster a greater sense of connection and well-being.
I'm excited that you're here, and look forward to serving you!
