Yoga in its most traditional form has never just been about the body, however in the West we have become used to associating yoga with the practice of asana (postures) and its physical benefits. Original texts and teachings from thousand’s of years ago make minimal reference to asana but are focused on yoga as a way of living, letting go of judgements, attachments and negative thought patterns to bring stillness and peace to the mind. Today, with the additional benefit of scientific evidence around the neurobiology of trauma, stress, and the psychotherapeutic benefits of yoga the collective voice of specialists, authors, researchers and therapists is coming together to strengthen our understanding.
