I watched the first 2 videos.  The first one on compassion fatigue and the 2nd one on self care.  Both were wonderful as the first one really delved into the topic of why compassion fatigue is affecting teachers.  She went on to talk about the trauma that the students are dealing with that impact the teachers as well.  She went on to question why compassion fatigue is not taught in colleges as a majority of those affected are the new, female teachers in their first 5 years of teaching.  Honestly, I see teaching becoming much harder and I feel bad for my daughter who is a first year teacher.  There is so much required in teaching but the students are coming to school with a lot of issues which affects the teacher's teaching and the student's learning. 
The second video on self care really spoke to me as that is what prompted my yoga journey a year ago in February.  It was great listening to another teacher and the path that led her to yoga and the importance of self care, be it journaling, meditating, drinking water, exercising, breathing or yoga.  All things that I've been slowly incorporating into my life/routine over the last 11 months.
