How Wellness Strategies Can Revolutionize Classrooms: Insights from Moattar Ali
Moattar Ali, VP of Marketing at HARO Links Builder, has spent more than a decade at the intersection of wellness, education, and high-performance team culture. Drawing from his experience implementing wellness strategies in both corporate and educational environments, Moattar has seen firsthand how simple practices can lead to profound transformations.
In one striking example, he partnered with a high school where 70% of students identified chronic stress as a barrier to academic success. The intervention? A three-part wellness program combining daily 5-minute mindfulness, biweekly guided journaling sessions, and movement breaks between classes. The results were measurable:
- Test scores rose by 28%
- Disciplinary referrals dropped by 45%
- Student satisfaction jumped from 2.3 to 4.1 (out of 5)
- Teacher stress-related absences fell by 55%
According to Moattar, “Movement-based learning revolutions transform classroom attention and academic achievement. Students who participate in short movement sessions every 90 minutes show 35% higher retention and 50% stronger problem-solving skills.”
He also emphasizes journaling as a tool for emotional regulation: “Students who journal daily are 42% more emotionally aware and develop better coping skills for stressful academic situations. It’s not just a reflection tool—it’s a strategy for building long-term resilience.”
Moattar believes that mindfulness practices have measurable cognitive benefits: “Schools that engage regularly in mindfulness training see average grade gains of 15–20% within the first semester, along with improved behavior and peer relationships.”
Through structured wellness programs, Moattar has helped transform learning spaces into supportive environments where students and teachers thrive—proving that small shifts can have large, lasting impacts.
