Indeed, trauma is stored in the body and the brain and must be treated as such. Designed with both mental health clinicians and clients in mind, Trauma-Informed Yoga offers forty-seven short, simple practices that regulate the autonomic nervous system, calm the racing mind, and center those of us living chaotic twenty-first century lives.

What you're experiencing is your internal family system—and learning to understand and work with your inner family members (or parts) is the key to helping you move from inner chaos to clarity, calm, and confidence. 👉 The Internal Family Systems Workbook is a trauma-informed guide designed for beginners who want to...
