"In Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery, Dr. Arielle Schwartz
blends the insights learned through modern science with the
intuitive, ancient wisdom of traditional practices. As an
acupuncturist and yoga teacher trainer, I have witnessed yoga
practice be transformative for thousands of students, teachers, and
clinicians alike. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Schwartz for so
beautifully articulating the importance, versatility, and meaning
of yoga practices in healing, and for showing us how to anchor
these practices in compassion and sustainable growth." --Tiffany
Cruikshank, LAc, MAOM, E-RYT, founder of Yoga Medicine(R)
"This excellent resource on trauma therapeutics fits well as a
training text for schools or a personal journal and activity
roadmap to wellness. It is scholarly, science-backed, and packed
with apt definitions of our current understanding of
neuropsychology. But what I love most about Arielle's way of
addressing trauma is that she doesn't see the process as grim, but
as an inviting, warm, and curious adventure that we undertake with
every part of our humanness. She cleverly reframes classic movement
and breath and offers new somatic/embodiment work. Arielle
eliminates any rigidity around looking within, so even meditation
seems more approachable. This is clearly a labor of love, and
applying the wisdom of this book gives us a glimpse of smarana,
remembering who we are." --Beth Spindler, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500, yoga
therapist, teacher, and author of Yoga Therapy for Fear: Treating
Anxiety, Depression and Rage with the Vagus Nerve and Other
Techniques
"Arielle masterfully bridges her well-developed model of
therapeutic yoga with polyvagal theory. In doing so, she has
creatively found paths to support the recovery of her readers as
they share, through the powerful and insightful tools embedded in
yoga, a journey of re-embodiment, co-regulation, healing, and
discovery." --Stephen W. Porges, PhD, distinguished university
scientist and founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research
Consortium, Kinsey Institute, Indiana University Bloomington;
professor of psychiatry, University of North Carolina at Chapel
