Author talks ‘Healing Trauma With Yoga’ book, free classes
If you’ve experienced any sort of trauma in your life, you might be able to heal your wounds with yoga.
Beth Shaw, Author, “Healing Trauma with Yoga,” shares how trauma victims can go from surviving to thriving with mind-body techniques.
“Healing Trauma With Yoga, is sold at Barnes & Noble, Books–A-Million, independent bookstores, online and wherever books are sold.”
As our world grows smaller through technology, we can grow more distant and alone. Tragedy seems to present itself as pervasive and overwhelming, however armed with the many tools of yoga, we discover resiliency and hope.
Trauma is an emotional response to an event like an
accident, school shooting, and violation of oneself, war, or natural disaster.
Trauma is a subjective experience and represents a threat to personal safety
physically, emotionally, or mentally. Trauma activates our Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS), which is necessary and important
as a survival response. Trauma becomes a problem when it is chronic or so
severe in perception that the SNS is never turned back off. When the
sympathetic nervous system is continually activated, it rewires the nervous system
and physical changes take place in the brain and the endocrine system that make
healing more challenging. Chronic activation can turn into Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a condition that can cause
serious physical and mental illness. Whether or not a trauma becomes a chronic
stress seems to be related to the intensity and severity of the incident and
also to past trauma exposure. This book will explore these changes and just how
trauma gets stored in the body as well as offer a trauma sensitive format of
YOGAFIT as a body based program for healing.
