Summary:
"Presenting ways in which restorative yoga can contribute to healing emotional wounds, this book invites yoga teachers and therapists to consider the psychological impact of ethnic and race-based stress and trauma. The book describes how race-based traumatic stress differs from PTSD and why a more targeted approach to treatment is necessary, as well as its triggers. It also considers the implications of an increasingly diverse and global yoga community, as well as the importance of creating conscious communities that support connection by discussing yoga of inclusion. By providing a therapeutic structure to help communities of color process traumatic experiences, Restorative Yoga for Ethnic and Race Based Stress and Trauma offers its readers valuable tools for working together with their clients to develop effective coping strategies"-- Provided by publisher.
