About this product
Product Information
Survivors of trauma-whether abuse, accidents, or war-can end up profoundly wounded, betrayed by their bodies that failed to get them to safety and that are a source of pain. In order to fully heal from trauma, a connection must be made with oneself, including one's body. The trauma-sensitive yoga described in this book moves beyond traditional talk therapies that focus on the mind, by bringing the body actively into the healing process. This allows trauma survivors to cultivate a more positive relationship to their body through gentle breath, mindfulness, and movement practices. Overcoming Trauma through Yoga is a book for survivors, clinicians, and yoga instructors who are interested in mind/body healing. It introduces trauma-sensitive yoga, a modified approach to yoga developed in collaboration between yoga teachers and clinicians at the Trauma Center at Justice Resource Institute, led by yoga teacher David Emerson, along with medical doctor Bessel van der Kolk. The book begins with an in-depth description of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including a description of how trauma is held in the body and the need for body-based treatment. It offers a brief history of yoga, describes various styles of yoga commonly found in Western practice, and identifies four key themes of trauma-sensitive yoga. Chair-based exercises are described that can be incorporated into individual or group therapy, targeting specific treatment goals, and modifications are offered for mat-based yoga classes. Each exercise includes trauma-sensitive language to introduce the practice, as well as photographs to illustrate the poses. The practices have been offered to a wide range of individuals and groups, including men and women, teens, returning veterans, and others. Rounded out by valuable quotes and case stories, the book presents mindfulness, breathing, and yoga exercises that can be used by home practitioners, yoga teachers, and therapists as a way to cultivate awareness, tolerance, and an increased acceptance of the self.

"Trauma-related conditions are complex disorders involving dysregulation of the mind, body and the mind/body interface. Although yoga is a mind/body practice known to have significant therapeutic benefit, yoga for healthy individuals is not the same as yoga therapy for patients, which must take patient limitations into account. The trauma-sensitive yoga developed by the authors through practical/clinical experience, and described carefully, practically and systematically in this book, incorporates the best that yoga has to offer with what will benefit trauma patients safely and comfortably." -Sat Bir Khalsa, PhD, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Director of Research for the Kundalini Research Institute "In this landmark book the authors offer survivors a gentle, step-by-stepmindfulyoga that is tailored for their specific needshellip;. This well conceived book is a tremendous resource for therapists and yoga teachers. By engaging the wisdom of their bodies, it is a great companion and guide to those taking the journey of recovery from trauma to wholeness.Yoga and Traumais a gift for those taking the herors"s journey of recovery and vibrancy." -From the Foreword by Peter A. Levine, Ph.D., author of the bestsellingWaking the Tiger: Healing Trauma, "The book sets out to facilitate the creation of healing environments. Clinicians will learn basic yoga skills that can be implemented within individual therapy sessions. Yoga teachers will find thoughtful advice on how to make assists that won't trigger internal defenses. And trauma survivors will receive edict-free encouragement for using yoga as a tool for self-discovery. Thoughtful and thorough, Overcoming Trauma through Yoga brings a spirit of optimism to the process of healing past wounds and reclaiming body and mind." -Rolf Sovik, PsyD, Yoga International Magazine "Trauma-related conditions are complex disorders involving dysregulation of the mind, body and the mind/body interface.

Yoga and Trauma is a gift for those taking the hero's journey of recovery and vibrancy." -From the Foreword by Peter A. Levine, Ph.D., author of the bestselling Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma "At last, an engaging, accessible, theoretically grounded guide for the safe and effective use of yoga to heal from trauma! With a rich understanding of both the practice of yoga and the legacy of trauma, the authors skillfully weave together theory, research, mindfulness, case vignettes, yoga instruction, and more into a clear and compelling argument for reclaiming the body through their 'trauma-sensitive' modified yoga. Innovative and practical, this book is an indispensable resource for traumatized individuals, yoga teachers, clinicians, and anyone else who is looking to rediscover the natural intelligence of the body." -Pat Ogden, PhD, founder of the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute and author of Trauma and the Body: A Sensorimotor Approach to Psychotherapy "If you have suffered trauma or are a yoga teacher looking for ways to expand your class offerings, Overcoming Trauma Through Yoga stands alone in providing a complete program developed by clinical experience especially designed to address the needs of trauma survivors& [The book] offers survivors a mindful approach to healing through calm, step-by-step yoga tailored to their specific requirements in order to engage and awaken the wisdom of their own bodies& a superb book&this gem deserves a place on the bookshelf." - Yoga Flavored Life "Authors Emerson and Hopper demonstrate how to deliberately and systematically intervene in the body's alarm systems, and the yoga-based approaches they present in Overcoming Trauma Through Yoga use a series of postures and breathing techniques to rebuild a sense of connection to the self. & Overcoming Trauma Through Yoga is highly recommended for trauma clients, therapists, and yoga teachers who want to work together toward complete recovery." - New York Journal of Books
