Transforming Ethnic and Race-Based Traumatic Stress with Yoga

Transforming Ethnic and Race-Based Traumatic Stress with Yoga

This is a follow-up workbook to Gail Parker's Restorative Yoga for Ethnic and Race-Based Stress and Trauma, for readers who want to delve deeper into restorative practice as a means of combatting the harmful effects of ethnic and race-based stress and trauma. It also incorporates the effects of the COVID pandemic, and the health inequalities faced by ethnic minorities.



Building on the foundations of Restorative Yoga for Ethnic and Race-Based Stress and Trauma by Gail Parker, this workbook offers a range of self-care practices that strengthen the psychological immune system, increase resilience, and support post-traumatic growth.

Ethnic and race-based traumatic stress is a worldwide phenomenon. Regardless of race and ethnicity we are all impacted by its damaging effects, from those who are wounded to those who do the wounding. We are witnessing health care disparities based on race and ethnicity that are causing great suffering, and also witnessing a global awakening to the pandemic of racial violence and its pernicious effects on all of us.

Transforming Ethnic and Race-Based Traumatic Stress with Yoga is a self-care study guide where each chapter includes a reading for contemplation on an area of ethnic and/or race related traumatic stress, an illustration of a Restorative Yoga pose with instructions on how to get into it and accompanied by positive affirmations to repeat while in the pose. This is followed by a therapeutic journal writing instruction with blank pages for journal entries to reinforce the affirmations and to identify the psychological, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits of the posture presented.
