Click cover. "Train Your Mind to Change Your Brain" by Sharon Begley.
The is a book filled with reasons to do yoga as it celebrates the ability of the brain to rewire and to learn new tricks. We can do this at any age. It's filled with science and wonderful stories of why this all can work. A heartening book to share.
Yoga for trauma
If you are looking for so
me helpful and informed resources on issues dealing with trauma, visit the Trauma Justice Center website. It’s got information on resources, studies, and programs to help people address issues of trauma. I just completed a training on trauma-sensitive yoga and it was inspiring. Lila Press’s Yoga Makes Me Feel … was warmly received and will be part of a trauma handbook to be reviewed by this group.
Yoga helps folks with special needs
If you are looking for a way to bring calm and to build stamina for folks with special needs, watch this video and read the article just published in the Chicago Tribune: "Yoga offers benefits for people with special needs" As one of the teachers recognizes, "The beauty of yoga is that it helps you wherever you are at," said Fakroddin. Gadi Revivo, a pediatrician who specializes in rehabilitation, says that even though yoga is thousands of years old, it brings something new to his special-needs patients. Listen to the video and look through the article for a lot of good information and links to more programs.
