How Sayeeda Alam Used Yoga and Ayurvedic Principles to Heal from CFS | Episode 6

Calm Your Nervous System

At one point, I was so sick of being asked if I’d tried yoga that I got a sticker for my mobility scooter that said “Yes, I have tried yoga. No, it didn’t work”. If I had known then that some types of yoga aren’t even physical, maybe I might not have got it! Today’s guest is my friend Sayeeda Alam, who is a dedicated yoga teacher and Ayurvedic lifestyle advisor passionate about holistic well-being. She considers herself 95% healed from CFS and believes in the power of offering tailored practices to others looking to find balance in body and mind.

If this episode inspires you to take up a form of yoga, especially a non-physical one, I’d love to hear from you. My Instagram is linked on the show notes for this episode and my DMs are always open!

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• Why Sayeeda found yoga essential to recovery and different types of yoga you can try too
• How trauma can affect you physically, not just mentally
• Why accepting your chronic illness is so important in healing from it
• The changes Sayeeda made to her lifestyle that she feels helped her
