This essential handbook addresses the growing need for yoga teachers to be informed and responsive to trauma issues, as well as to know how postures, breathing, and meditation can affect the body. It focuses on the relationship of trauma to the teaching of yoga, laying a strong foundation in cultivating trust and building authentic relationships with students safely and confidently.

Yoga teachers will benefit from a range of yoga practices for self-regulation, self-determination, and autonomy, as well as guidance on polyvagal theory, communication, setting boundaries, and self-care for yoga teachers. It also includes recovery protocols for trauma reactions during lectures and how to cultivate a trauma-sensitive teaching environment.

Written by an internationally recognized author duo, it is a universal resource for yoga teachers wishing to empower themselves and their clients from every demographic and in all settings.
