Yoga for Trauma Recovery:
Trauma can have devastating effects on the body and the brain and can cause emotional disorders, obesity, heart disease, anxiety and depression.
Practicing Yoga is a very simple yet powerful antidote to heal this damage.
By combining breathwork, mindfulness and gentle movement, Yoga can provide a profound and effective tool for healing from, and coping with, trauma.
Trauma survivors may become trapped in a feed-back loop from the emotional past and find it difficult to escape from what triggers those negative thought patterns.
These patterns govern words, behaviors, relationships and physical health.
The mindful and meditative elements of Yoga teaches survivors how to center the mind through breath-work and gentle movements to bring them out of the emotional past and into the present moment. This clears the mind and counteracts the traumatic "echo".
