Summary:
"People are turning to
yoga
for its stress-reducing practice and transformative philosophy. But for those who have a
trauma
history, the practice can be triggering. 'The
Essential
Guide
to
Trauma
Sensitive
Yoga
' offers an inclusive approach to
yoga
for teachers and students of
all
ages and abilities, especially those who have experienced
trauma
. Some of the themes covered include:
How
do the impacts of
trauma
show up in
yoga
spaces
; Suggested language for shifting power to the practitioner;
How
to
create
an environment conducive to healing;
How
to practice or teach poses in a way that includes
all
; And much more. This book is beautifully illustrated with 260 photos of poses and sequences, modeled by
trauma
survivors who share stories of
how
yoga
helps them heal. Land works with people of
all
ages, from young children to seniors, who are coping with a range of traumas including physical, emotional and sexual abuse, homelessness, genocide, and incarceration. She is a passionate advocate for making the benefits of
yoga
and mindfulness available to
all
