59. Breathing Life into Education: The Power of Breathwork in Reducing Stress & Teacher Burnout with Dr. Katie Raher [Summer Self-Care Series]

47 minutes

Ready to learn the Ins and Outs of Using Your Summer to release stress and finally make this coming school year burnout free? Then take a breath.

No seriously. Breathwork is one of the number one easy (and free) ways that you can use your body's natural systems to work with you instead of against you. Just because we're talking about it today, I bet you'll start noticing your own breath. Most teachers and people in general spend most of their day in shallow breath without realizing it. This breathing prompts the sympathetic response – emotions you feel when you're stressed. But it's not just about breathing, right? Our bodies do that on their own. It's about breathing with intention.

Using Breathwork to Reduce Stress & Teacher Burnout

In this episode, I get to interview one of my good friends, Dr. Katie Raher, and she shares her journey from teacher to psychologist through multiple breakdowns and burnout, which lead her to becoming who she is today, a certified trauma-informed breathwork facilitator. She shares with us what breathwork is, the science behind how it works, and how you can start using it as a tool to transform your burnout recovery this summer.

Dr. Katie Raher is the Founder and CEO of Constant Love and Learning, an award-winning teacher turned School Psychologist, a Certified Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator, and a Kimochis Certified Trainer. She creates wholehearted experiences of healing, connection, and learning that help educators transform their inner and outer worlds, one breath, one feeling, one moment, one relationship at a time. She is also one of 20+ amazing teacher experts, who is presenting at the third annual Summer Self-Care Conference for Teachers.HEAD OVER TO THE SHOW NOTES: teachingmindbodyandsoul.com/episode59
