Yoga and Resilience | Free Book
Yoga and Resilience is part of a larger series put out by the Yoga
Service Council in collaboration with the Omega Institute. To date,
there have been three texts published: Best Practices for Yoga in
Schools, Best Practices for Yoga with Veterans, and Best Practices
for Yoga in the Criminal Justice System. This body of work takes a
unique and groundbreaking approach of co-creation, calling on a
diverse array of leading experts in the fields of trauma and yoga,
to collaborate and distill best practices that will inform the
fields of mental health, trauma-informed yoga, yoga service, and
yoga more generally. Contributors and authors met during two
symposia and engaged in an ongoing collaborative process resulting
in the current text.

Serves as a resource to survivors, yoga teachers and practitioners,
yoga service providers, trauma practitioners, and agency
administrators among others.
Presents a foundational understanding of sexual trauma and
illuminates current best practices for integrating trauma-informed
yoga and mindfulness practices into work with persons and systems
