Overcoming Trauma through Yoga: Reclaiming Your Body - David Emerson (2011)
Though the reason for buying this book will vary greatly, I think the message is the same for everyone. I got this book because I felt my miscarriage last year was a trauma. Something I hadn't really "gotten over". I felt like my body betrayed me and I really wanted something to help me work through it. I expected some "tips and tricks", but instead I got a great discussion on understanding my body, and, that my healing must come from within myself as well as physically. I am not a yogi, I have watched a few videos and stumbled around my living room but this book was a great read even for a beginner like me. It was easy to follow the instruction and simple exercises. I am certain that this book has been a great addition to my recovery. (AV)
