Reclaiming the Body
"Learning to listen deeply to the body is key. Trauma survivors often ignore their body’s cues when sensations and emotions become overwhelming, and instead push through the experience without paying attention to what’s really going on. Trauma-sensitive teachers remind students to listen to their own needs and their own bodies, to move away from reacting to external expectations, and toward internal listening and guidance. Trauma leaves people powerless, so developing the ability to consciously decide when to stop or when to go deeper into a pose is an essential part of the healing process." https://kripalu.org/resources/yoga-and-trauma-reclaiming-body
