Dissociative remedy?
I have heard and read that Yoga can have immense and diverse health and well being benefits. I see that you have alleviation of depression and anxiety listed as being some of the emotional/psychological benefits, and am just wondering whether or not there is currently a pool of research out there on Yoga and the benefits it can provide for people with dissociative experiences. As it seems that one of the reasons many people undertake Yoga is because of its philosophy of Mindfulness and "being in the present moment", and dissociative experiences/disorders are often quite contrary to this philosophy, I just thought this may be a helpful content suggestion for your page :)

I'd be interested to know about what the research to date shows regarding this, if you end up including it in your page!

All the best,

PTSD/Benefits
Hi! When I searched this topic in Google scholar a lot of articles regarding yoga and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) appeared. Maybe this could also be worth checking out under your practical applications? Also perhaps the recent influx of yoga could be mentioned? has it become more popular in recent years etc? Why? Also maybe discuss the benefits of yoga and how any relaxation techniques that you learn from classes can be applied to daily emotional stress? Goodluck with your chapter! --U3068359 (discuss • contribs) 01:15, 27 October 2013 (UTC)u3068359

Another resource
Hi I'm doing Transactional stress and coping, and found this book review with some interesting stress management methods. Although it doesn't have all the pages, there appears to be enought to gain some information from it. It does have a chapter on Yoga that may be useful for you, if you need it. Principles and practice of stress management PS - I think some of your information and links look relevent to my chapter. If you don't mind, I would like to link to your chapter in mine.

Fantastic chapter
Wow - I've had a quick skim and this is looking like a fantastic chapter - clearly relevant to the book theme, well presented, a mixture of theory and research etc. Love it and look forward to a closer ready. This feedback page is also an excellent demonstration of collaborative engagement, including your responses, Iluvyoga41yf3. What a wonderful contribution.

Wiki-links
How about some more wiki-links e.g., yoga. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 13:31, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

^ Yes thanks for reminding me, I was leaving that till the very end so that the writing was all done and I could make sure all the links are in the correct places :) Iluvyoga4lyf3 (discuss • contribs) 01:04, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Types of yoga
Apologies if this already covered, but I wonder if it worth discussing different types of yoga in terms of their theory/connection with emotion e.g., Satynanda vs. Hatha ... etc. Perhaps it is possible to even make brief mention with reference(s) to more detailed discussion. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 13:31, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

^ That's a great idea! I'll try and sort something out with that in mind now :) Thanks a lot James! Iluvyoga4lyf3 (discuss • contribs) 01:05, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
