Building on the foundations of Restorative Yoga for Ethnic and
Race-Based Stress and Trauma by Gail Parker, this workbook offers a
range of self-care practices that strengthen the psychological
immune system, increase resilience, and support post-traumatic
growth. Ethnic and race-based traumatic stress is a worldwide
phenomenon. Regardless of race and ethnicity we are all impacted by
its damaging effects, from those who are wounded to those who do
the wounding. We are witnessing health care disparities based on
race and ethnicity that are causing great suffering, and also
witnessing a global awakening to the pandemic of racial violence
and its pernicious effects on all of us. Transforming Ethnic and
Race-Based Traumatic Stress with Yoga is a self-care study guide
where each chapter includes a reading for contemplation on an area
of ethnic and/or race related traumatic stress, an illustration of
a Restorative Yoga pose with instructions on how to get into it and
accompanied by positive affirmations to repeat while in the pose.
This is followed by a therapeutic journal writing instruction with
blank pages for journal entries to reinforce the affirmations and
to identify the psychological, mental, emotional, and spiritual
benefits of the posture presented.
Presenting ways in which Restorative Yoga can contribute to healing
emotional wounds, this book invites yoga teachers, therapists and
practitioners to consider the psychological impact of ethnic and
race-based stress and trauma. It aids in the process of uncovering,
examining, and healing one's own emotional wounds and offers
insight into avoiding wounding or re-wounding others. The book
describes how race-based traumatic stress differs from PTSD and why
a more targeted approach to treatment is necessary, as well as what
can trigger it. It also considers the implications of an
increasingly racially and ethnically diverse and global yoga
community, as well as the importance of creating conscious yoga
communities of support and connection, where issues of race and
ethnicity are discussed openly, non-defensively and constructively.
By providing a therapeutic structure that assists those directly
and indirectly impacted by ethnic and race-based stress and trauma,
Restorative Yoga for Ethnic and Race-Based Stress and Trauma
provides valuable tools for aiding in the processing of stressful
experiences and in trauma recovery.
