7 Day Burnout Recovery Retreat with Yoga, Mindfulness, And More in Knysna, South Africa
Burnout Recovery Retreat South Africa
This is one of the most popular yoga retreats offered in South Africa.
We are more stressed than ever before. In fact, stress is so prevalent, the World Health Organisation (WHO) last year added burnout as an ‘occupational phenomenon’ to its list of International Disease Classifications. Stress can make the immune system less effective, increase the risk of coronary problems like high blood pressure, and has other physical side effects like headaches, nausea, insomnia and fatigue if left untreated. This Burnout Recovery Retreat is designed to help you handle the physical, psychological, and emotional impact brought about by stress.

Program
Even things like back pain or anxiety and depression can be related to unmanaged stress. If you’re feeling at the end of your tether, a chance to do a deep emotional and mental reset might be just what you need.
Vala House's professional intervention is grounded in current research and based on an integrative biopsychosocial approach that attends to your unique well-being. You will leave the retreat with skills that will help you manage your physiological and psychological stress response, a greater insight into your individual coping patterns, options for ongoing health management and a replenished sense of optimism.
