Thanks Frontline Yoga for bringing this to our attention. This is why I’ve trained in yoga for trauma and mental health!
Bessel Van Der Kolk is one of the world's leading trauma experts. In his book, Childhood Trauma Leads to Brains Wired for Fear, he writes:
“We just did a study on yoga for people with PTSD. We found that yoga was more effective than any medicine that people have studied up to now. That doesn't mean that yoga cures it, but yoga makes a substantial difference in the right direction.”
Many studies have shown the effectiveness of yoga on trauma and PTSD, and yoga is even more effective when taught with a trauma-aware focus. This is why all of our teachers are trained with trauma awareness and can deliver expert classed to our frontline workers.
See you on the mat 😉
