Description
In this book and card deck bundle, Zahabiyah A. Yamasaki, founder of Transcending Sexual Trauma through Yoga, draws on the framework of trauma-informed care and trauma-informed yoga program development and curriculum, while also weaving in personal narrative and inspiring survivor stories.
Trauma-Informed Yoga for Survivors of Sexual Assault: Practices for Healing and Teaching with Compassion explores practical considerations for survivors, as well as mental health professionals, yoga teachers, and other healing professionals who are interested in integrating trauma-informed yoga into the scope of their work and/or healing. It provides a comprehensive overview of how to offer yoga to survivors of sexual assault in a safe, effective, evidence-based, and healing way.
A powerful companion to the book as well as a stand-alone resource, the Trauma-Informed Yoga Affirmations Card Deck's beautiful, unique full-color art by Evelyn Rosario Andry illustrates poses and Zahabiyah's affirmations on each card, ideal for sharing with survivors in one-on-one or group clinical practice, yoga classes, or workshops. The cards are also essential for inspiration outside of a yoga or clinical setting.

This is the voice, these are the words, the trauma field has been waiting to hear. Yamasaki's steady, compassionate, and authentic voice offers a comprehensive guidebook for how to navigate the path to trauma healing for survivor and helper alike. The type of text we come to when we want to help others heal, but by the time we are through, we ourselves have been transformed.--Nityda Gessel, LCSW, The The Trauma-Conscious Yoga Institute
As a survivor, psychologist, and beneficiary of Zabie Yamasaki's online training program, I am excited to recommend this powerful book on embodied healing through yoga for sexual assault survivors. With clarity, compassion, and generosity of spirit, Yamasaki provides clear and practical strategies to facilitate healing and empowerment to aid survivors as they seek to reclaim their bodies and their full selves.--Dr. Thema Bryant, Psychologist and Author
Yamasaki covers entirely new ground and makes a generative contribution to the field of trauma-informed somatics. This powerful book integrates science, psychology, and skillful self-disclosure with practical tools for healing and teaching. With an anti-oppression framework and intersectional lens, this book offers a rare perspective on embodied survivorship. A must-read for anyone engaged in the process of recovering from sexual trauma or helping others to heal.--Bo Forbes, Psy.D., Somatic Educator, Advocate For Body Justice, and author of Yoga for Emotional Balance
Zabie Yamasaki has managed to write a book that is a salve of wisdom, compassion, and perspective for survivors and an invaluable resource for those supporting survivors to find their way back to their bodies again. It is a comprehensive guide grounded in a nuanced understanding of trauma, psychology, neurobiology, and cultural sensitivity. A must-have for anyone working with survivors in any capacity.--Hala Khouri, M.A., SEP, E-RYT, author of Peace from Anxiety: Get Grounded, Build Resilience
Zabie Yamasaki has written an incredible book that does so many things at the same time, and all of them marvelously.

A must-have for anyone teaching, practicing--or seeking--trauma-informed yoga today.--Susanna Barkataki, author of Embrace Yoga's Roots: Courageous Ways to Deepen Your Yoga Practice
