Kids' Skills in Action


Book Description

"Ever wanted to be a 'fly on the wall' in the consulting rooms of a range of skilled therapists, psychologists and social workers from around the world? Following 'Kids' Skills' (Ben Furman's book outlining his 15-step method for working with children) comes this collection of true stories and conversations between skilled professionals and the children and families with whom they work. At the heart of Furman's method is a simply yet profound reframing of children's problems as skills yet to be learned. The power of his method also rests in his playful approach to working alongside children so that they themselves are their own best teachers, and so that a network of supporters are drawn into the excitement and celebration of the skill as it unfolds within the child's world."--Publisher.

Skill in Action


Book Description

Transform your yoga practice into a force for creating social change with this concise, eloquent manual of social justice tools and skills. Skill in Action asks you to explore the deeply transformational practice of yoga as a way to become an agent of social change and work toward a just world. Through yoga practices and philosophy, this book explores liberation for ourselves and others, while asking us to engage in our own agency—whether that manifests as activism, volunteer work, or changing our relationships with others and ourselves. To provide a strong foundation to begin this work, Michelle Cassandra Johnson clearly defines power and privilege, oppression, liberation, and suffering, and invites you to make changes in your life that promote equality and freedom for all. This revised and expanded edition offers journaling practices and prompts in each chapter; includes more material on how power and privilege inform the yoga industry; explains how to integrate justice into teaching the eight limbs of yoga; and offers ways to support people as they move through their resistance and discomfort in the face of injustice. This edition also offers a fuller look at how the yamas and niyamas—the ethical precepts of yoga—can be studied in order to create a more just world, and it offers more support for yoga teachers seeking to radicalize their yoga.
