| Abstract: |
Academic Advisors are crucial in supporting students' academic journeys. It is important for academic advisors to understand how to manage stress before they engage in academic advising. In this workshop, we will learn about the body's stress response and understand how breathing techniques rooted in the yoga tradition and studied by modern science can help us regulate long- and short-term stress. We will learn and practice simple and effective techniques that participants can incorporate into their daily lives.
