DESCRIPTION:
Traumatic events are more than a narrative or singular event in a person's life; the body remembers traumatic events and can experience them over and over, even after many years have passed. The book also shows teachers how to detect when certain postures trigger anxiety, and offers ways to support healing in general yoga classes.Drawing on her experience as both trauma therapist and yoga teacher, the author focuses on the body-mind connection and presents asanas and breathing exercises that can help traumatised patients re-engage and take control of their bodies.. This book shows how trauma-sensitive yoga can be used in individual therapy and in groups to overcome trauma, by calming the nervous system and helping people to come out of dissociative states
Not only does it help us understand why the body does not always feel safe during yoga practice but it provides new resources for healing that are accessible to therapists, yoga teachers and practitioners alike. -- Jeltje Gordon-Lennox, psychotherapist, traumatology specialist, and author .
