For any new subscribers to Slow Living in the Big City, welcome! The Reset is one of the offerings that paid subscribers receive from me each month, as well as full access to my growing archive of all posts, yoga classes and meditations. To receive all this, upgrade to monthly (this works out to £1.50 a week) or yearly membership (£1 a week). Free subscribers currently receive two posts per month. Thank you so much for being here.

“Burnout is often, though not always related to work… It’s a gradual process and you might not even realise burnout is happening until you’re at a very low point.”

- Extract from my book, Rest + Calm

This month’s practice is Restorative Yoga for Burnout.

Using one prop set-up and featuring two poses, this restful practice is inspired by the burnout sequence from my book.

If you don’t want to do this on the floor, in the video I offer suggestions for doing this practice from your bed.

Suggested props:

  • 2 pillows and 1-2 cushions (or a yoga bolster and 1-2 blocks)

  • Access to a sofa / chair or similar

  • A blanket

  • An eye cover

Here’s your Restorative Yoga for Burnout practice (18mins):
