Unwind Burnout: How Yoga Restores Your Nervous System and Promotes Healing

• Burnout is a nervous system dysregulation, not just fatigue, manifesting as restless sleep, irritability, and shallow breathing.
• Yoga, particularly restorative practices and supported postures like Supta Baddha Konasana, helps retrain the body to activate its rest-and-repair mode.
• Experts Divya Rolla (Cult) and Mihir Jog (Ayurveda practitioner) emphasize guiding breath downward and using props to calm the overstimulated nervous system.
• Breathwork (pranayama) such as Viloma, Ujjayi, Bhramari, Anulom Vilom, and Savitri helps regulate stress and signal safety to the body.
• Burnout recovery requires consistent, gentle practice rather than intensity, fostering resilience and a re-education of the nervous system.

Why It Matters: Yoga offers a gentle, consistent pathway to recover from burnout by calming the nervous system and restoring inner steadiness.
