Burnout is a syndrome of chronic unmitigated stress mostly studied as a workplace phenomenon, but can occur within any situation that creates exhaustion, negative mood, and reduced effectiveness. Since 2020, workplace surveys report more than half of employees are experiencing burnout leading to challenges with physical and mental health and reduced performance.

Yoga, breath work, and mindfulness practices can be potent tools to help alleviate and prevent the onset and progression of Burnout Syndrome.
