“…Six of these qualitative studies employed the use of semi-structured interviews, two studies used structured interviews, and one used an online survey. The other three studies had a mixed-methods design [ 23 , 24 , 25 ], one of which involved semi-structured interviews, and the other involved in-person questionnaires. Seven of the studies were observational in nature, and four provided qualitative analysis of larger randomised controlled trials by interviewing or surveying participants who were in the yoga intervention group as opposed to the control group.…”

“…Eight studies explored the impact that trauma-sensitive yoga (TSY) has on healing psychological trauma [ 15 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 23 , 25 ]. Two studies used non-TSY yoga interventions, with one looking specifically at Ashtanga yoga [ 24 ] and the other at Kundalini yoga [ 16 ], and one study did not specify the style of yoga used [ 22 ].…”

“…One finding seen across many of the studies was that participants reported increased self-compassion since starting their yoga practice [ 15 , 16 , 18 , 22 , 23 ]. Participants in studies by West et al [ 15 ] and Gulden et al [ 22 ] found that the emphasis on moving away from self-judgement helped transform their perceptions of themselves off the mat.…”

“…Participants across several studies found that the yoga practice allowed them to develop more effective coping tools and mechanisms [ 16 , 17 , 23 , 24 ]. Studies by Braun et al [ 23 ] and Rhodes [ 17 ] found that participants were inclined to use the yoga postures and breathing exercises as coping mechanisms when their stress and trauma triggers arose in their day-to-day lives.…”

“…A few of the papers in the review touched on the effect that the physical aspect of the yoga practice had on participants [ 20 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. In a study by LaChiusa [ 24 ], participants commented on how certain parts of the body hold on to memories and strong emotions, such as fear, anxiety, and anger.…”

The evidence regarding the benefits of yoga for treating psychological trauma is well-established; however, there is a paucity of qualitative reviews exploring this topic. The purpose of this rapid review is to gain a deeper understanding of the impact that yoga can have on people with a history of psychological trauma and to reveal barriers and facilitators to the uptake of yoga in this cohort, from a qualitative perspective. The Ovid(EMBASE), Ovid(MEDLINE), PsycINFO, PubMed, and SPORTDiscus databases were searched using key terms. The systematic search generated 148 records, and 11 peer-reviewed articles met the inclusion criteria. The following main impacts of yoga on participants were identified: feeling an increased sense of self-compassion; feeling more centred; developing their coping skills; having a better mind–body relationship; and improving their relationships with others. The main barriers were also identified: concerns initiating yoga; time and motivational issues; and the costs and location of classes. The main facilitator was the feeling of safety generated in the trauma-informed yoga classes. This review suggests that yoga offers great potential in the field of trauma recovery. Despite this, more high-quality research with rigorous methodologies is called for to allow this field to advance.

Purpose of review Patients, providers, and trainees should understand the current types of asynchronous technologies that can be used to enhance the delivery and accessibility of mental health care. Asynchronous telepsychiatry (ATP) removes the need for real time communication between the clinician and patient, which improves efficiency and enables quality specialty care. ATP can be applied as distinct consultative and supervisory models in clinician-to-clinician , clinician-to-patient , and patient-to-mobile health settings. Recent findings This review is based on research literature and the authors’ clinical and medical training, using experiences with asynchronous telepsychiatry from before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Our studies demonstrate that ATP provides positive outcomes in the clinician-to-patient model with demonstrated feasibility, outcomes and patient satisfaction. One author’s medical education experience in the Philippines during COVID-19 highlights the potential to utilize asynchronous technology in areas with limitations to online learning. We emphasize the need to teach media skills literacy around mental health to students, coaches, therapists, and clinicians when advocating for mental well-being. Several studies have demonstrated the feasibility of incorporating asynchronous e-tools such as self-guided multimedia and artificial intelligence for data collection at the clinician-to-clinician and patient-to-mobile health level. In addition, we offer fresh perspectives on recent trends in asynchronous telehealth in wellness, applying concepts such as “tele-exercise” and “tele-yoga.” Summary Asynchronous technologies continue to be integrated into mental health care services and research. Future research must ensure that the design and the usability of this technology puts the patient and provider first.
