Description
Uncover fearlessness through yoga’s methods and disciplines with this guide. This book offers a medically-proven approach to help students and clients uncover their own radiance that is hidden by fear and anxiety.
Yoga offers a readily-accessible system for courageous living, and this book explains how to use simple and quick yoga therapy methods for accessing the vagus nerve, resulting in instant relief from symptoms of fear, including depression, anxiety and rage. It offers asana, pranayama and dhyana exercises that help to eliminate ‘worry chatter’, directly affecting the amygdala, the part of the brain responsible for fearful thoughts. Addressing many components of fear, the book explains when fear is useful and when it is not, and teaches how to reprogram responses to uncertain circumstances so that they can be dealt with in a healthy way.

I think if you are interested in vagal tone, yoga or fear and anxiety you will love this easy to read book. A great teacher and yoga therapist, Beth speaks easily on these topics.

Great companion to taking Beth’s course, Yoga Therapy for Fear. Packed full of information to help establish function in the vagus nerve and calm the nervous system!!

Beth Spindler has a wonderful way of engaging the reader in so many topics, by both example and metaphors that really help you to think through powerful movement and breath work, but also in understanding key concepts in yoga philosophy. Lots of terms she uses are topics a beginner yoga teacher, or one currently going after RYT would find useful at any level.
Another thing that I appreciate about her style is how inclusive it is – we can’t always accommodate everyone, but being mindful of things we take for granted, and our roles as guides to help people heal and tune into their own bodies and breath is so key.
Excellent book! Was called to this for both the philosophy and healing techniques to help balance my mood. You will be armed with theory, science and practices to get yourself going. 11/10 – reading again!
