Hello All!
Several of you have reached out asking for suggestions of additional reading material on subjects of yoga, social justice, restorative justice, & trauma. Here is a link to the collective recommendations of the PYP community. This list is ever growing, so if you have books not included on this lest you'd like to share with the cohort, please reply within this thread to add these resources. Please note this link is set up for PYP's community site bookstore. While you are welcome to purchase selections this way, please feel free to use this list as a resource and continue to support your local libraries or independent booksellers.
Here are some resources that I've read or had conversations about. Hope you find something that speaks to you.
