Yoga Therapy for Fear: Treating Anxiety, Depression and Rage with the Vagus Nerve and Other Techniques

Good resource for anyone teaching Yoga interested in the psych side of teaching.

Absolutely worthy to read , very interesting, a good help for teaching or your own practice

I was fortunate to have completed yoga teacher training with Beth back in 2014, so when I heard she had a book coming out I decided to order it right away. This book contains techniques I learned in her training as well as new methods. The techniques include a little of everything: movements, breath work, kriyas, passages, etc! I love that there are illustrations and descriptions and that I now have them in the convenient package of this book. These techniques can be used as medicine; and it’s all rather safe medicine with little to no side effects or danger (as always there are precautions). As a high vata fear tendency person with secondary kapha tendencies ( my self diagnosis) I plan to use the practices for my own healing. I’m also excited to share some of them with my clients. In fact I just shared a chair version of thoppakarunam with a client with dementia and her words afterwards were “ that was calming.” I’ve done a quick read through of the whole book and now I plan to slowly study and try out each part. I can’t wait!

Great companion to taking Beth's course, Yoga Therapy for Fear. Packed full of information to help establish function in the vagus nerve and calm the nervous system!!

I think if you are interested in vagal tone, yoga or fear and anxiety you will love this easy to read book. A great teacher and yoga therapist, Beth speaks easily on these topics.
