Two Tranquil Teachers Podcast

Teaching is one of the most stressful professions — and stress affects both teachers and students more than we realize.

In this episode, we explore the science of stress and the science of mindfulness, and three powerful tools anyone can use in seconds to balance uneasiness: 1) Breathing, 2) Visualization, 3) Measuring bar.

In this first episode of our mindfulness series, Betina and Stacy introduce the foundation of their signature professional development course: 7 Proven Techniques to Include Mindfulness in the Classroom.

Presented at Adult Education state and national conferences, this workshop helps educators understand the science of stress and learn simple techniques to support emotional regulation, focus, and well-being in learning environments.

Today we begin with the most powerful and accessible tool we have:

• Why teaching is one of the most stressful professions

• How stress impacts the brain and learning

• The connection between breathing and the nervous system

• The Measuring Bar technique for observing stress levels

• A simple breathing visualization for emotional regulation

• Why mindfulness helps both teachers and students perform better

• How mindfulness is a technique for everyone.

“We can’t always change what’s happening around us… but we can change what happens within us.”

In the next episodes of this series we’ll explore additional mindfulness techniques including:

• Deep Listening • Speaking with Intention • Grounding Practices
