Our research during the past decade on how stress and emotions impact learning and performance has led to the development of easy-to-teach learning programs that improve attitudes, behaviors, learning cycles, and test scores.

Freeze-Framer®
Improves attention, performance, attitudes, and behaviors.

The Inside Story
Grades 7-12—Improves mental, emotional, and physical health.

TestEdge™

The Resilient Educator
Survival and Success in Today's Schools. In-service training for teachers and staff. Stop the negative impact of stress—mentally, emotionally, and physically.


In January, the Congress of the United States awarded HeartMath $1,000,000 to implement a national demonstration of its successful TestEdge™ Learning Program. According to Congressman Ralph Regula: "The program developed by the Institute of HeartMath to reduce test-related anxiety shows great potential for helping students achieve success."

The Resilient Educator™
Survival and Success in Today's Schools

In my 22 years of teaching, these were the most beneficial workshops I have ever attended.  Most workshops are dreaded, but these were really helpful and I learned something I can apply in my classes.

The Resilient Educator is designed to help educators stay in their peak performance mode longer and experience the fulfillment in education—why they went into the profession in the first place.

The four-hour in-service training teaches scientifically-validated tools and strategies proven to stop the negative impact of stress—mentally, emotionally, and physically.



Here is what this program can do for you and your staff:
  • Reduce Emotional Stress
  • Increase Vitality and Well Being
  • Improve Psychological Health
  • Improve Physical Health
  • Increase Interpersonal Sensitivity
  • Increase Empathy
  • Improve Job Satisfaction

Prior to the training, 34% of the participants said that they felt exhausted. Three months after the training that number had dropped to only 11%. Those who said they felt like quitting their job dropped from 21% to 14% during the same three-month period. Click here to view the full report.

                                           Why it Works -- The Science of HeartMath

    HeartMath's powerful outcomes and organizational benefits arose from more than 12 years of in-depth scientific research into the physiology of learning and high performance, both for the individual and the organization. Our key discoveries:

  • High performance results from a balanced integration of mental, emotional and physiological factors.

  • Emotional stress is the prime disabler of high performance. Stress reduction is key to increased health and performance, but relaxation alone is not enough.

  • The heart is immediately affected by emotional change, and in turn, profoundly affects cognitive function, i.e., mental clarity, strategic thinking, decision-making, and communication skills.

  • This heart-brain link can be managed by the individual, resulting in dramatic leaps in performance, productivity, and vitality.
