APA Webinar ~ Understanding Ayurvedic Perspective on Burnout

Saturday March 14th from 10am to 11am GMT

Online

Burnout is increasingly recognised as a biopsychosocial condition marked by cognitive fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and physiological depletion. Ayurveda interprets this state through a distinct pathophysiological lens. Chronic stress, irregular routines and persistent mental load aggravate Vata, diminish the regulatory clarity of Pitta, and erode Ojas, the body’s core reserve of resilience. This lecture presents an academic overview of burnout through Ayurvedic theory, describing how dysregulated Vata disrupts stability, how impaired Pitta weakens decision-making and metabolic coherence, and how Ojas depletion manifests as reduced immunity and recovery capacity. The session offers structured, evidence-informed guidelines on dietary rhythm, behavioural routines, restorative practices and the disciplined method of tapas as a pathway to rebuild resilience.
