Safe Space: Trauma-Sensitive Yoga

This book provides an in-depth exploration of Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, blending theory and practice to help you create safer, more supportive environments—not just for those experiencing trauma-related symptoms and conditions but for anyone who may benefit from this approach. Primarily aimed at yoga teachers, this book is also an invaluable resource for therapists, healthcare professionals, and yoga practitioners interested in understanding trauma and facilitating trauma-sensitive, safe spaces. Inside, you will find essential information about trauma, the neurobiology of stress and defence mechanisms alongside practical insights for integrating Trauma-Sensitive Yoga principles into any style of yoga or therapeutic environment.

Learn to recognise signs of dysregulation, apply nervous system regulation techniques from yoga, mindfulness, and somatic therapy, and adapt tools such as asana, pranayama, and meditation to align with Trauma-Sensitive Yoga principles. Whether you teach general yoga classes or work with vulnerable groups, this book offers practical tools and guidance to help you facilitate healing and support your students’ well-being, while also maintaining clear professional boundaries.

The book is available in three formats: Kindle e-book, Paperback and Hardcover
