Transform Your Life with Yoga off the Mat

Most people do yoga to feel better. Yoga increases relaxation, boosts mood, improves flexibility, and provides a calm, centered mind. Why?

In Trauma Alchemy: Transform Hardship, Stress, and Trauma into Your Best Life through Yoga, SarahBethYoga founder Sarah Beth-the YouTube yoga phenomenon with more than 1.6 million subscribers-unlocks the ancient secrets of yoga and brings them off the mat. Because yoga is more than breathing exercises, stretches, and pretzel-like poses-it's an entire practice that releases stuck emotions, recovers lost memories, revives self-confidence, and restores a sense of wholeness.

Sarah Beth's unique yoga teaching style unveils the why behind the how of yoga, and Trauma Alchemy provides a new look at an ancient art: how to transform hardship, stress, and trauma into your best life . . . all through the secrets of yoga.

Specifically, Trauma Alchemy aligns the stages of a yoga class's sequence with the inner work of trauma transformation. This book will help you:

• Heal unresolved trauma and emotional pain
• Create a safe space to address deep inner wounds
• Process past traumas with a new perspective
• Alleviate chronic tension and release stuck emotions
• Experience forgiveness of yourself and your past
• Create a relationship with, and learn how to re-parent, your inner child
• Gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of how you can do your inner work and heal through your yoga practice
• Feel more compassion for yourself and others
• Apply yoga's benefits to your daily life as you encounter new stressors and opportunities for growth

Trauma Alchemy teaches an off-the-mat yoga practice, with on-the-mat applications designed specifically to help create a safe space in your yoga journey to process the traumas and hardships that hold you back so you can transform from a life of fight or flight to one of rest and relaxation.

Whether you're an absolute beginner or an advanced yogi, the steps laid out in this book can be done by anyone willing to get a little uncomfortable so they can grow. It's worth it.
