Gail is a psychologist, yoga educator, and author of two companion books that center restorative yoga as a potent healing modality for ethnic and race-based trauma. These books are incredible and have taught me so much, which is why I wanted to share them with you. Here are a few things I learned from the books and this conversation with Gail:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>An understanding of what race-based trauma is, both from an historical perspective and from lived experience. </li><li>How people who have experienced race-based trauma often feel like it's their fault (and how this is so often reinforced by society)</li><li>The ways that restorative yoga works for race-based trauma: You are working with the nervous system&nbsp;<em>not&nbsp;</em>the traumatic event, which teaches you how to recognize relaxation, immobilize without fear, and supports feeling safe in stillness without&nbsp;hypervigilance.</li><li>The benefits of understanding your nervous system and attempting to discern the difference between triggers and actual threats</li></ul><p><br></p><p>When we attempt to learn about racism and race-based trauma, we can (hopefully) make our yoga spaces more welcoming and inclusive! Thank you for listening and go to the shownotes for Gail's books: yogalandpodcast.com/episode336</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Andrea Ferretti"}
