Abstract

More and more teachers at foreign schools are becoming weary due to the high demands of study and work, which
hurts their physical and mental health. This study aims to investigate the impact of mindfulness breathing training
on the mental exhaustion of teachers in international high schools. Nine teachers from Beijing Futurecity Academy
were recruited. This group employed mindfulness breathing exercises to alleviate their mental fatigue. It turns out that
mindfulness breathing training can assist teachers at international high schools in recovering from mental exhaustion.
