Abstract
This scoping review aimed to explore and analyze the benefits of Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TSY) and Trauma-Informed Yoga (TIY) as interventions for people with mental health issues related to occupational therapy’s (OT) scope of practice. PRISMA-ScR guidelines resulted in twenty-five articles. Findings suggest TSY/TIY can have positive impacts on client outcomes, such as improved self-regulation and awareness, increased self-care, and overall enhanced quality of life. There is limited research, however what is current, is a promising complimentary intervention in addressing mental health disorders. Higher level evidence is needed to support TSY/TIY in OT as an appropriate and cost-effective intervention.
