Yoga can aid healing for survivors of complex interpersonal trauma, a condition with symptoms beyond standard PTSD. In a qualitative study using transcendental phenomenology, five participants shared their yoga experiences through narrative interviews. Themes emerged including transformation, holistic benefits from different yoga styles, community and relationships, and trauma healing. These findings support incorporating yoga as a therapeutic intervention in clinical social work practice.
