Mindfulness & Wellbeing for teachers and its use in teaching

Increasing workloads, emotional pressure and constant change leave many educators feeling mentally exhausted and physically drained. Sustainable wellbeing has become an essential professional competence.

This immersive Erasmus+ teacher training course on the island of Mallorca offers a practical and evidence-informed approach to mindfulness, stress management and emotional resilience. Over five inspiring days, you will learn scientifically grounded techniques that can be integrated into everyday school life, helping you respond to challenges with greater clarity, composure and confidence.

Set in the beautiful coastal town of Alcúdia, the programme combines professional learning with the restorative atmosphere of the Mediterranean. Through guided mindfulness practices, reflective exercises, gentle movement and collaborative learning, you will develop practical strategies that support both your own wellbeing and a healthier learning environment for your students.

Whether you are an experienced educator, a school leader or an education professional seeking renewed balance, this course provides a valuable opportunity to invest in yourself while earning recognised Erasmus+ professional development.

About Alexandra

I guide teachers in reconnecting with themselves.

Many teachers dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to their students every day—often putting their own needs aside in the process.

In my retreats, I aim to create a space where you can leave your daily routine behind for a few days. It is a place where peace, mindfulness, and personal growth can flourish, allowing you to recharge and find new energy for your professional and personal life.

As a certified mindfulness trainer, meditation teacher, and systemic coach, I have spent years helping people reduce stress, gain inner clarity, and create lasting changes in their daily lives.

Why I work specifically with teachers

Teaching is one of the most demanding professions there is. High levels of responsibility, the need for constant presence, time pressure, and emotional strain characterize the daily lives of many teachers.

That is precisely why this group is so close to my heart. I want to support teachers in prioritizing their own health and well-being just as much as that of their students.

It is not about becoming even more high-performing; rather, it is about teaching and living with greater serenity, joy, and self-care in the long run.

Why mindfulness?

To me, mindfulness is far more than just meditation.

It helps us pause, become more aware of our own needs, and act with greater clarity and composure, even in challenging situations.

The methods I teach are practical for everyday life, scientifically grounded, and designed to be integrated into a busy school schedule.

Why Mallorca?

Mallorca offers the ideal setting to step back from the daily grind.

The Mediterranean climate, the natural surroundings, and the profound tranquility of many locations create an environment where relaxation often comes more easily than at home.

This setting does not replace personal change—it supports it. That is why I combine the island’s inspiring atmosphere with a clearly structured, professional course program, ensuring that the retreat experience has a lasting impact even after you return to your everyday life.

"My goal is to share  a fantastic week with you — filled with insights and tools that will support you in your daily school life long after the retreat ends."
