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 conductive 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. Lara 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.

The Essential Guide for Trauma Sensitive Yoga is a comprehensive resource for teachers to understand the complex nuances of trauma and the subtle and overt ways it can present itself in our students. As teachers, we have a responsibility to serve the whole person and that includes sensitizing ourselves to the various ways that trauma lives uniquely in each body, how it influences the mind and perceptions and can affect one’s health and emotional wellness. Lara Land deftly provides the necessary guidance, insights, and best practices so that facilitators can support their students on their journey toward healing with more mindfulness, awareness, and skill. This excellent resource should be required reading in any teacher training course.

Lara Land has created a one of a kind “how-to” resource as it relates to the field of trauma-informed yoga. This book equips aspiring trauma-informed yoga teachers with incredible tools to feel confident in their teaching and their ability to hold a safe container for those who have experienced trauma. The most comprehensive guide on sequences, case studies, nervous system tools, inquiries, and most importantly how we show up with care, compassion, and nuance. I am in awe of this book and grateful for the skillful and centered guidance it provides to all healing professionals passionate about integrating this modality and lens into the scope of their work.
