About the Book

Restorative Yoga for Ethnic and Race-Based Stress and Trauma serves as both a clinical guide and a personal manual for wellness. Dr. Gail Parker bridges the gap between ancient yogic wisdom and modern psychological insights into ethnic-based trauma. The book provides a clear framework for understanding how "race-based stress" differs from general stress and why specialized restorative practices are necessary for true recovery. It is a call to action for the wellness community to become more inclusive and culturally informed.

What You’ll Learn / Why Read

Restorative Yoga for Ethnic and Race-Based Stress and Trauma teaches you specific poses designed to down-regulate the nervous system and promote a sense of internal safety. You will learn the "Vagal Toning" benefits of long-held, supported postures and how they specifically counteract the hyper-vigilance caused by racial microaggressions. Furthermore, the book offers guided meditations and self-reflection prompts that empower readers to process ancestral and contemporary trauma through bodily awareness. This is a vital read for those seeking a holistic, body-centered approach to social justice and self-care.
