Joann Lutz MSW LICSW E-RYT has been training mental health professionals internationally for 10 years, as well as offering a certification program in the model she developed called ‘Nervous-System Informed, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga’ (NITYA). The book describes and explores this model, which is a synthesis of polyvagal theory, classic yoga, somatic psychotherapy, and neuroscience research, organized around the eight stages of classic yoga practice. Primarily intended for mental health professionals and yoga therapists and teachers, Trauma Healing in the Yoga Zone should also be of interest to professionals in allied professions, as well as to individuals interested in yoga and healing.
