North Atlantic Books Overcoming Trauma through Yoga: Reclaiming Your Body

I really appreciated reading this book. My journey to yoga has been jagged - I first tried Pilates classes, then 1:1 pilates and then other yoga classes that were too advanced and never felt right. Reading this book helped me understand many of the reasons why they weren't 'right.' One misguided teacher (of yoga) told me: you're not strong. I never went back to her or other classes. I found a yoga DVD on Amazon: Yoga for Absolute Beginners with Susan Fulton. It was just the right level, with a pleasant teacher. It may not be advertised as 'trauma-sensitive yoga' but it definitely helps. I've been doing it for a year now and feel so much stronger and more flexible. A lot of the fear I carried in my body is gone. I love this DVD and I loved reading this book. A gentle, self-caring way through life is what we all need. I hope you also feel validated reading this book.

Great book ,unfortunately I can relate to it and it made me cry during the first few chapters but that proves the connection with PTS and My choice of yoga as a tool to live my life after the tragic loss of my father . As a Yoga teacher and a human being dealing with PTS is extremely challenging and to bring it all together in one book proves the Power of Yoga . Thanks x

Great read, wont be disappointed. Great for Teachers and Students alike! Gives an insight for both

This was definitely an eye opening book. I really learnt a lot from it, and now understand why I may have struggled to maintain a regular yoga practice in the past.I think its well researched and informative, sensitively written as you would expect, given the title, and definitely worth a read.

Great read
