About the course

This course offers a well-rounded and in-depth experiential understanding of how it feels to move and live from a burnt-out, ‘tired but wired’ exhausted state. It will explore how to teach holding space for the habit patterns – samskaras– of pushing, doing, over-doing, striving etc to be seen clearly in a non-judgemental environment so that they become less and less binding. Crucially we will explore how to encourage students’ agency and development of their tuning inward, so they can begin to hear the body’s whispers of ‘enough’. Grounding, mindful and somatic work will be offered to help promote healing, conserve and restore energy and transform unhelpful habits of the body/mind system.

Live online sessions + pre-recorded content + manual

The course content will help raise awareness of the ways in which burnout and fatigue play out in a modern-day human both physically and psychologically. For teachers, it will also provide tools to help students in your regular classes increase their own awareness and explore their practice in a more nourishing and supportive way.
