Can There Be a Physical Cause of Stress?

Absolutely. Elevated stress levels in teachers can often be traced back to physical causes that disrupt our body's natural equilibrium, known as homeostasis. This imbalance triggers a stress response that raises your baseline stress, which may worsen over time. As additional stressors arise, such as heavy workloads or challenging student behaviours, the impact on your health and wellbeing can be severe.

It's essential to recognise that staff wellbeing in schools is not solely a mental issue; it's deeply intertwined with our physical state. Understanding this relationship empowers us to address the root issues rather than merely treating symptoms. At Balancing Class, we delve into the science behind how our bodies react to stress, equipping you with the knowledge you need to foster true wellbeing.

What Makes Balancing Class Different from Other Wellbeing Courses?

We pride ourselves on offering a distinctly science-based approach to staff wellbeing in schools, specifically designed to address the unique challenges faced in educational settings. Unlike generic wellbeing courses, our programme delves into the physiological and biological factors contributing to stress among teachers.

We aim to transform the way you think about stress management. Rather than simply teaching coping mechanisms for stressful situations, we focus on reducing your baseline stress by addressing the physical causes. Through our comprehensive course, you will learn breathing exercises that enhance your tolerance to carbon dioxide, enabling you to manage your stress more effectively.
