Summary
Arielle Schwartz: Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery
One of the main characteristics of trauma is that you cannot choose what happened to you. Threatening experiences can make you feel trapped, threatened, or helpless. That's why trauma recovery involves knowing that you now have a choice. In this book you will learn about the yogic path to recovery from trauma. Although many believe that yoga is only a physical practice, it is also a philosophy of life that should guide you towards a meaningful and purposeful life. Yoga allows you to develop a sense that a new, better future is possible while accepting yourself and the world as it is. This tension between opposites becomes fertile ground in which you will sow the seeds of change. Ariel skilfully connects her well-developed model of therapeutic yoga with polyvagal theory. Using the powerful tools of yoga, she guides her students on the path to embodiment, co-regulation, healing and realization.
