Dr Lara Boyd reports reduced teacher burnout after 30 days’ meditation practice

What was said

"And so what we've done is we've taken teachers, we've looked at their burnout rates, their rates of depression and anxiety. They've engaged in this loving kindness intervention, meditation intervention, and they practice it on their own for 30 days. They have one class, they practice it, they come back, and we see significant change in their levels of burnout and in their brain."

Dr Lara Boyd says her team is running a study on “loving kindness” meditation for teachers. She says participants took one class, practised independently for 30 days, and her team observed changes in burnout and brain measures, while also tracking depression and anxiety.
