Title: Trauma Healing in the Yoga Zone
Description: This book goes beyond trauma-sensitive yoga, to describe an original model of nervous-system informed, trauma-sensitive yoga (NITYA), incorporating classical yoga, somatic psychotherapy, and neuroscience research into an integrated model of practice.
Written for mental health professionals, yoga therapists and yoga teachers, referencing empirical data, it clarifies the principles which underlie the effectiveness of yoga for regulating the autonomic nervous system. The book offers guidance to the practitioner in the choice of posture, breathing practice, stage of relaxation, and form of meditation to use with each client.  It includes scripts of carefully selected chair yoga postures and breathing practices, and a trauma-sensitive version of yoga nidra.
