About this title

Synopsis

All traumas are individual. Every yoga practice is personal. In this illustrated guidebook you will find 20 yoga poses designed specifically to enhance the lives of those who live with brain injury, PTSD, and other forms of trauma. Additionally, Move Feel Think is an excellent book for anyone looking to begin a yoga practice. Undergoing any type of trauma, big or small, weakens the connection between mind and body. Individuals oftentimes experience a sense of displacement, loss of awareness, lack of purpose—along with various other intellectual deficits. A routine yoga practice can help strengthen or regain that individual's sense of identity, purpose and awareness, and, perhaps, encourage an acceptance of the lifelong changes due to a traumatic incident. Move Feel Think is novel and unique approach to healing, as it introduces the trifecta of benefits of a yoga practice: the physical benefits (Move), the emotional benefits (Feel), and the cognitive benefits (Think). Accompanying each pose is a breakdown of the physical, emotional, and cognitive benefits—along with tips and suggestions to help deepen anyone’s practice throughout. This guidebook can serve as a long-term complement to any treatment plan or lifestyle and can be practiced as little as or as often as desired.
