Practitioner’s Retreat to Cultivate Self-Compassion, Address Burnout + Enhance Patient Self-Care Through Therapeutic Yoga

“If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete”

~Buddha

Learning self-care principles can help cultivate self-compassion, prevent practitioner burnout, promote longevity and vitality in work-life balance. Learn how to empower your patients with self-care techniques resulting in enhanced quality of care, and help create overall balanced health and well being both for yourself and your patients.

You will learn a variety of techniques and practical tips to immediately integrate into your daily routine at your workplace and at home. You will participate in yoga practices including meditation and mindfulness techniques, pranayama (breath practices), asana (physical poses), and other movement integrated with yoga philosophy to address components of self-care and compassion that can help inspire you on your path to restore balance, vitality, peace, and reconnection to your authentic self and purpose.
