Trauma-Informed Yoga for Survivors of Sexual Assault provides a
comprehensive overview of how to offer yoga to survivors of sexual
assault in a safe, effective, evidence-based and healing way.
Zahabiyah A. Yamasaki, programme director of Trauma Informed
Programs at UCLA and founder of Transcending Sexual Trauma through
Yoga, draws on the framework of trauma-informed care and
trauma-informed yoga programme development and curriculum, while
also weaving in personal narrative and inspiring survivor stories.
This book explores practical considerations for survivors, as well
as for yoga teachers, mental health professionals, educators, and
other healing professionals who are interested in integrating
trauma-informed yoga into the scope of their work and/or healing.
This book expands the scope and framework for healing and fills a
much-needed gap in service delivery for survivors. Yamasaki
provides holistic, trauma-informed, body-based, compassionate and
culturally affirming options for survivors as they navigate what is
oftentimes a lifelong and nonlinear process of healing.
Focusing on women's pelvic health through yoga therapy, this
evidence-based resource covers the intersections of biomechanics,
self-study through yoga philosophy, emotional resilience, pain
science and dynamic strategies for pelvic embodiment. Integrating
pedagogical frameworks that differentiate yoga therapy from pelvic
floor physical therapy, the book demonstrates how they can work
together by including somatic education and case studies. It also
covers breath patterns, mental constructs and conditioning, and
baseline body awareness - taking the practitioner through the
journey of self-assessment, building the therapeutic relationship
and ongoing embodied practice. Looking at the individual rather
than pelvic health as a sole diagnosis, Yoga Therapy for the Whole
Woman is an invaluable guide for yoga teachers, yoga therapists,
movement and fitness professionals and healthcare professionals
working with women with pelvic floor challenges.
