Yoga, Nervous System Healing & Women’s Burnout During Back-to-School Season | Rachel Lundberg


Listen Later

August may bring sharpened pencils and new routines, but for many women—teachers, moms, and caregivers—it also triggers stress, burnout, and emotional overload. In this episode of Sacred Harmony, host Aanya sits down with Rachel Lundberg, a movement and yoga therapeutics expert with over 30 years of experience, to explore how the nervous system holds the imprint of back-to-school stress, why burnout often hides in plain sight, and how yoga and mindful practices can help women reset during this demanding season. Rachel shares practical, accessible tools for nervous system regulation that women can integrate into everyday life—without adding to the pressure.

About the Guest  

Rachel Lundberg is a seasoned yoga and movement therapeutics teacher who has dedicated three decades to helping women reconnect with their bodies, rebuild calm, and recover energy when life feels overwhelming. Through her programs, Rachel teaches nervous system regulation and embodied wisdom practices to support women in navigating burnout, trauma, and life transitions with resilience and ease.

Key Takeaways  

  • Back-to-school season carries unconscious nervous system triggers rooted in childhood conditioning, which can fuel adult stress and overwhelm.

  • Burnout often shows up subtly—through sleeplessness, appetite shifts, irritability, or negative self-talk—before escalating into deeper exhaustion.

  • Hormones, trauma, and emotional labor interact to shape women’s burnout cycles, especially during transitional times.

  • The ABC Method—Awareness, Breathing, and Choice—offers a simple yet powerful framework to pause, regulate the nervous system, and reclaim agency.

  • Slow, intentional movement and self-soothing practices (like hands-on-body techniques) signal safety to the body and reduce stress chemistry.

  • Sustainable change comes from Focus, Association, and Repetition (FAR)—training the brain and nervous system to default to calm states rather than survival mode.

  • Burnout is not failure—it’s the body’s way of teaching us to pause and reset before deeper breakdowns occur.
