A new book by Fiona Agombar, Yoga Therapy for Stress, Burnout and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, was published by Singing Dragon in November 2020. The book is aimed at yoga teachers but anyone who has severe fatigue or stress will find this book has invaluable suggestions for healing fatigue.

Yoga Therapy for Stress, Burnout and Chronic Fatigue presents unique ways to harness energy for fatigue conditions such as exhaustion, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and stress with the help of yoga therapy. Split into four parts, the book discusses how modern-day living exacerbates stress and how it manifests itself, how healing can be approached from a yogic perspective, the solutions that yoga provides, as well as step-by-step guidance to different yoga practices developed by the author – such as breathing and meditation – that help with these issues. Accessible and containing easy-to-follow instructions, Yoga Therapy for Stress, Burnout and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome shares ancient teachings from the East that have the power to help alleviate the growing source and symptoms of fatigue.

The book has received some kind endorsements from notable figures in the yoga community and beyond:

‘This exceptionally well-presented work of heart is a companion that tackles the debilitating challenges of so many human beings’ daily lives.  Fiona’s experience and research are woven within her heartfelt support and practical guidance. This important new work intelligently reveals yoga’s therapeutic wisdom with great clarity, talking to you as you are. A book for right now.’ – Simon Low, Founder of The Yoga Academy

‘I loved this book. I work as a yoga therapist with lots of different groups of people with differing chronic diseases, including CFS, MS and Parkinson’s. Fiona has clearly explained the impact of stress on the body, both physically and mentally. We all live in a stressful world and the impact is felt by all. This book would be useful for all yoga teachers and for those who have an interest in how to help the effects of stress and resulting fatigue using yoga, not just those working with students with CFS.’ – Dr Tamsin Betts, Yoga Therapist and former GP

In Beat Fatigue with Yoga the DVD, Fiona teaches a 25-minute routine suitable for people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. There are additional yoga routines with Sue Delf. The first ten minutes features gentle stretching, proper yoga breathing and relaxation techniques to increase energy. The next 15-minute section is a remedial section suitable for anyone who wants a gentle yoga session.
