This is a general overview and discussion of the benefits of movement practices like yoga and meditative practices as taught in my MBSR training.  We will touch on research and publications that will help us understand how these practice an be appropriately applied for folks with trauma-related challenges.  One resource is the excellent book my Psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk,  The Body Keeps the Score.  He writes about how we recover from trauma.  He notes that movement practice like in the trainings here are very healing when we are exposed to trauma.   Here’s an interview with him:  Bessel van der Kolk
