The Faculty Guide to a Balanced and Harmonious Career

This book provides a yogic framework for college educators to take inventory of areas of imbalance in their professional life and work toward more sustainable and meaningful career alignment. Drawing from chakra theory at the heart of yoga philosophy, DiPietro takes readers through the seven major chakras, explaining their functions and common patterns of imbalance—with particular attention to patterns reinforced by academia—and offers 130+ tools and strategies for realignment. Readers will learn how to ground themselves in nurturing habits, set and stand by professional boundaries, speak their truth even in charged situations, and build a legacy they can be proud of. Written to be a helpful, trusted guidebook, this text features prompts for reflection, call-out boxes for each chakra, and downloadable worksheets to synthesize thoughts and ideas into an action plan.
