In this episode of The Yoga Therapy Hour, we welcome Catherine Cook Cottone, a School & Licensed Psychologist, Certified Yoga Therapist & Yoga Researcher. Catherine brings her extensive expertise in trauma-informed and responsive interventions to discuss how yoga practitioners can cultivate and strengthen their inner resources through a trauma-informed approach. We explore strategies for developing self-regulation, implementing de-escalation protocols, and adapting teaching methods for students with varying levels of trauma exposure. Catherine also shares insights on measuring the impact of trauma-informed practices, understanding neuroception, and applying polyvagal theory in yoga teaching. Additionally, Catherine introduces her new book, "Trauma-Informed and Trauma-Responsive Yoga Teaching: A Universal Practice," co-authored with Joanne Spence.
