Description

Sheena got super into how Yoga could treat her burnout. Then Zaakiyah’s friend was told to try yoga by her doctor, because of burnout. And Sheena taught her until she recovered. 

Now that Sheena has researched and written a thesis on Yoga as a Burnout treatment, Zaaki gets to pick her brain on the topic. We hope that you can find some useful insights, information and mindset shifts when it comes to treating and managing your stress, anxiety and burnout thanks to yoga’s ancient system of knowledge.
