Required reading for Yoga and Trauma workshop. Loved how it broke down ways to utilize information as a therapist, a yoga teacher, and as a student. Well-rounded and timely.

I guess I do yoga now or whatever. Honestly though, you can skip this book and just read The Body Keeps the Score again

Brief, almost poetic introduction to trauma-sensitive yoga. Practical and insightful.

This was a quality resource for yoga therapeutics and stress physiology in general. I appreciated hearing more about how the Trauma Center Yoga Program had adapted to students and survivors over time. Since my training was very alignment-based and I deeply care about the physical integrity of students in postures, I often encourage use of props, specifically straps, blocks, etc. However, it didn't not occur to me until I read this book that straps, specifically, could trigger a stress / emotional response in a student with a traumatic past. I believe it is a positive thing for an instructor to reflect and consider how to make the experience (more) beneficial and therapeutic for each student.

An excellent practical review of how incorporating yoga into the therapeutic process can impact trauma survivors. For survivors, clinicians and yoga teachers alike.
