Yoga Therapy

for Stress, Burnout and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Aimed at yoga therapists, yoga teachers, healthcare professionals, and people with fatigue, this detailed book presents unique ways to harness energy for fatigue conditions such as Long Covid, burnout, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and stress, with the help of yoga therapy.

The book discusses how modern-day living exacerbates stress, burnout and chronic fatigue conditions, and how healing can be approached from a yogic perspective. ‘Yoga for Stress, Burnout and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome’ offers many solutions that yoga provides including step-by-step guidance to gentle movement, breathing and meditation.

Accessible and containing easy-to-follow instructions, this book shares profound ancient teachings that have the power to help alleviate the source and symptoms of fatigue.

Breathe, Rest, Recover

Yoga therapy for recovery from Long Covid and fatigue

Conventional yoga practice may not be suitable for the needs or ability of people with Long Covid symptoms or profound fatigue such as ME/CFS.

This practice-based resource offers practical yoga tools to help anyone with these conditions, and is also an essential guide for yoga therapists and health professionals. Written with psychotherapist Nadyne McKie, each chapter offers scripted practices to bring about healing.

Themes include a trauma-informed approach to stress, breathing techniques, how to rest, making a kind connection to the body, pacing vs moving, the five pranas, and working with the chakras to increase energy.

'Breathe, Rest, Recover’ is an important resource for anyone looking to practice yoga in a way that doesn’t exacerbate pre-existing symptoms and conditions.

Book testimonials

  • "‘I suffered from complete burnout a few years ago, and spent a few months in bed unable to do anything much. I wish I’d had Fiona’s book back then. I’m fully on board with her recommendations for mindful gentle healing, and I hope this book helps you to re-energise and recover."

    TONY WRIGHTON, SKY SPORTS PRESENTER, AUTHOR AND HOST OF ZESTOLOGY PODCAST

  • "‘Fiona writes with humility, wisdom, and much common sense about how yoga can help these conditions, which are so prevalent. A carefully laid out and thorough guide, covering theory and a broad range of practices, this should be an essential component of any yoga teacher’s toolkit – but is also totally accessible to non-teachers."

    ELIZABETH STANLEY, DIRECTOR OF YOGA CAMPUS

  • "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."

Book testimonials

  • "This book is filled with not only Fiona’s phenomenal depth of knowledge but also her wisdom. Both her experience with CFS and her understanding of yoga as a therapeutic practise offer great information and potential for healing for those working with people with ME/CFS and also for those who are suffering with it."

    JYOTI JO MANUEL, FOUNDER OF SPECIAL YOGA

  • " 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

  • "‘This is a highly engaging and vital text for yoga therapists, health professionals... and those seeking their own healing strategies for stress, burnout and ME/CFS. Fiona deftly weaves together the most current scientific theories and understanding of ME/CFS with yogic philosophical perceptions... This approach could be easily applied by yoga therapists to any health condition. Her reflections on ill health and healing should inspire all of us to consider how we live in the modern world, what health actually means, and how to gently find our way back to greater wellness in a mode that is personally meaningful."
