"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
Hill "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
