Course Overview

In this self paced exploration, we will explore ways to keep our energy balanced and in harmony so you can burn brightly and not burn out. We will explore this through the lens of yoga therapy with 10 sessions of about 25-30 minutes designed to be a short, effective break in your day. 


You will have the opportunity to explore any burnout you may be experiencing and reflect on how to change it. 

If you are an educator, you can connect this to social, emotional learning and create a lesson plan. Earn 15 hours of Yoga Alliance and IAYT credit. For an additional fee, college credit and CE hours may be availalbe.
