Vayu for education

A regulation practice that fits between classes.

Teaching staff, professional staff and students. Two minutes before a lecture, before an exam, or after a difficult meeting with a parent. Vayu runs on the phone everyone already has, and you can deploy it to a department, a faculty, or the whole campus.

A wellbeing tool for stress and focus. Not counselling, and not a substitute for your student support service.

Two audiences, one deployment

Staff and students have different days and different stressors. The protocol differs, the deployment doesn't.

Staff
Between the bell and the next room
Two minutes in the gap between classes, without leaving the room.
A downshift after a difficult conversation with a student or a parent.
Sunday evening and end-of-term protocols, when the load is heaviest and support is thinnest.
Students
Before the exam, and the night before it
A pre-exam protocol they can run in the corridor outside the hall.
A sleep-onset session for the week before assessment.
A private mood record that belongs to the student, visible to nobody at the institution.
Where the line sits

Vayu is a stress and relaxation practice. It is not counselling, not therapy, and not a mental health service. A student who needs support should be routed to your service, and we ask that the app is introduced alongside that route rather than in place of it. We will write the referral wording with your wellbeing lead before launch.

Ways to work together

Bring Vayu to your institution

Most institutions start with staff in one department, then extend to students the term after.

Start here

One-department pilot

Up to 25 staff for a term, free. We run onboarding in an existing staff meeting and report at the end of the pilot.

Free, no credit card
Core program

Term protocol

Built around the academic calendar: term start, assessment weeks, results, and the run-up to breaks. Intensity moves with the year rather than sitting flat.

Per seat, $4–8 / month
Students

Campus-wide student access

Codes issued through the student portal or by your wellbeing service. Redemption counts only. No student's usage or data reaches the institution.

Volume pricing, per year
Governance

Safeguarding and privacy review

Where under-18s are in scope the questions change. We will sit with your safeguarding, DPO and IT leads and answer the review before you commit.

Before contract, no fee
Adoption

Champions in each faculty

A few volunteers per faculty get early access and a short briefing to run with colleagues. Adoption travels through people, not all-staff email.

Included with the program
Procurement

Existing wellbeing budget

Fund it from a staff wellbeing fund, a student experience budget, or an existing benefits platform, so it does not need a new line mid-year.

Invoiced annually or per seat

What the first term looks like

Week 0
Setup.

Seats provisioned, protocol drafted with your wellbeing lead, referral wording agreed, comms pack handed over.

Week 1
Launch.

Ten minutes in an existing staff meeting, champions briefed, first sessions running that day.

Mid-term
Tune.

Timings moved to where participation landed, and assessment-week protocols switched on.

Term end
Report.

Participation, engagement and aggregate recovery trends, with a recommendation on whether to extend to students.

A staff briefing or campus setting

Start with one department.

Thirty minutes with you and a wellbeing lead. We look at the academic calendar, draft the protocol, agree the referral wording, and set what the first term should report back.
