It can't be emphasized enough that for those who have recently experienced a traumatic event, have been acutely triggered, are prone to flashbacks or frequent extreme disassociation, or someone with an active eating disorder or body dysmorphia, yogic practice is best done under the guidance and cradle of a mental or physical healthcare practitioner or treatment facility, or at least with their approval and with someone specifically trained to offer such sequences, like Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitators or Certified Yoga Therapists with a co-speciality in Trauma-Informed Clinical Psychology or related field. As disassociation can be a defense mechanism, please do not engage in the practices suggested here if you feel you need this defense to function right now, and reserve this for work with a therapist or other professional qualified to hold this experience with you
