I don't know why, but at some point when you said something about something being optional, it being my own decision, finding what works for me, doing what feels comfortable, etc, I just started crying. The practice is great but it's that constant reassurance of autonomy and safety that really does it for me

I like the way you say "you could," instead of telling us what to do. That feels very kind. ❤️

Thank you for offering this free resource to those who need help but may not be able to access it otherwise.

Just discovered this today. As someone who experienced complex trauma, and as a result repressed it and a lot of my emotions; when I started doing this yoga practice I felt extremely nauseated, even tho I have not eaten anything heavy or close to when I practiced. When I finished I had let it all out and felt such relief and I wanted to cry so much. Cheers for this! Its been helpful,.especially when you mentioned imaging that our intention is becoming true. That was very beautiful, cathartic. Thank you. ✨

Your constant reassurance of choice is important and appreciated. I love that this practice was so soft and nurturing.

I was crying from the very beginning to the very end. When you reminded me of being in control of my movements and encouraged me to make my own choises as I was in a relaxed state, you reminded me of who I was before trauma. Thank you

Thank you. I experienced release right at the beginning when you mentioned ‘autonomy’ and ‘I am safe’.

Wow. I had tears coming down half way through the practice like a cleanse! Mind boggling

You took the creepiness out of yoga. Thank you.

First time I’m practicing yoga with your channel and I absolutely love the emphasis of my own autonomy. That whilst you were seated I felt most safest in child’s pose flexing/moving following your arm practice but I moved my arms gently as though I’m almost seated. Thank you❤️

Thank you so much for providing me with the gentleness I needed today

This was beautifully put together with so much thoughtfulness I truly appreciate your work I feel so much better ❤

Thank you Hannah this short practise has been really helpful to do to calm and slow down before eating a meal, and your voice is kind and soothing.

Thank you Hannah. What a gift. Namaste.

My first time trying yogo

I just heard about the benefits of yoga for PTSD and I'm SO happy to find this. THANK YOU HANNAH

This is such a supportive practise for people with trauma. I found myself feeling even more anxious when doing traditional yoga, but this was beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this trauma informed practise ❤

Thank you! I needed a restorative practice and this one was great!

Thankyou thankyou thankyou I love the way you teach. Makes me feel very comfortable and relaxed.🙏💜

i loved doing this practice, thank you so much for being so gentle. i felt safe in my body. i am deeply grateful for your offering 🙏♥️

Thank you so much for this Hannah, this was honestly such a relief. Will be coming back to this, your videos are amazing

Thank you for this video that gave us so much freedom

Nice and sweet! Loved this practice! Thank you☀️🌻🙏🏽

Thank you! I appreciate your video. It made me start bawling. It was when u said “your body your choice “Idky ……I’m tryin to work through my childhood trauma as well and I was so relaxed at the end of this. So thanks for sharing your yoga with us

Thank you for this practice! I really appreciated the phrases you used and the way you spoke in this video. I prefer to do floor poses only when I’m stressed or struggling with tension, so this was perfect.

I just want you to know that what you are doing is helping so many people.

Thank you so much Hannah, this is the best Trauma Sensitive Yoga practice i have found so far, as I was able to connect with it. Bless you. I hope you post more. With gratitude, Ingrid

Wonderful flow ❤️ I felt completely rejuvenated afterwards. Thank you for this!

Thank you so much. My life is currently run by fear. It runs my home. I am working on getting stronger and these routines really help me take any time for me. With tears on my mat I thank you again.

Thank you so much. Experienced rapid heartbeat at the beginning but pulled through.

Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Thank you for this, this was my first time trying this and it helped me in a totally new way

Love this practice!

On my healing journey of recovering from C-PTSD. Finding this channel has been a life saver. I felt so safe in my body & safe with ur energy thank you so much!❤

Thank you Hannah.

Hi iv just done your yoga I have ptsd and suffer alot with anxiety I can't thank you enough I feel so relaxed I be doing this everyday 😌

i love this yoga because i can do it on my bed after a long day of work

I use this everyday. Helping so much 🙏

this is so gentle i love it!

First time - I cried involuntarily. Will definitely be doing more

Fantastic. Easy enough for a 52 year old man but still challenging. Thank you

Thank you so much, this is just what I needed ♥️

I just want to say that I watch this video at least every other day and do yoga along with you. This video has helped me tremendously in working towards overcoming my PTSD. Thank you for helping me. I think I'll be well enough to be undiagnosed in the next month or two. I wish I could express to you what you have helped me overcome. Just thank you

Cried the whole way through 😂 glad to start feeling feelings and owning my body

I was discharged from hospital yesterday and was introduced to this style of yoga. I found this so helpful as it was so gentle. Thankyou for taking the time to create this content. I look forward to doing some more yoga with you. 😊

Hi. Thank you! Gauteng, South Africa 🌹💜🌹

Second time back, and can't thank you enough! The first time felt so good, I was almost scared to come back. Second time felt great, but not past my threshold. I really hope I can make this part of my daily schedule. Thank you for the work you do!

I'm so glad to find your calming video. I was searching for trauma informed yoga and your name popped up. Doing the stretches was very healing to my spirit and soul. I'll be back.

Thanks

Thank you so much. It was calming and very helpful. Few tears, but its ok 🌸🌺🌸

Very awesome! Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much! I get disoccation when trying to feel and its even harder to do. But i know the only way out is in.

Thankyou 💜 🙏

Thank you so much

Thank you 🙏

Playing victim worked years later dangerously vulnerable without boundaries

Thank you 🌬️

thank you 💛

amazing, thank u

Thanks hannah, second time trying yoga and this resonates with me much more profoundly than the other one i tried.

This was amazing, thank you

This had me in tears.... Thank you

Thank you 😭😭😭

Thank you!

many years ago my husbands yoga teacher wanted to teach me, we were going to do a swap of modalities ( i did therapeutic touch and reiki) I went to her house and she was lovely - i did a couple of poses on the floor , and she hovered her hand over my abdomen and asked me how i felt. She was good. She told me, you have some trauma in your body and i would like you to feel safer before you do any more of this. She was right. I found out stuff and was in therapy for over 20 years. I now have done yoga for 7 years, and there are still some poses i cannot do. Your session was really wonderful, your wording and your calm accepting energy is beautiful . Thankyou .

Heavenly! Thank you :)

It looks like most of this is Vagus nerve stimulation, which is why it works so well. I do wish we could leave behind the woo-woo and embrace the science more, but I get how hard that is for most.

This was beautiful, thank you. I know it's an old video, I just wanted to mention the siren in the background in the last minute is pretty triggering as you're closing the practice which is a shame. If it's possible to lower that frequency, or in future just pause if a siren goes by and edit it out would be a really kind gesture. Thank you so much for sharing such healing content. 🙏🦋

Thank you :)

great job, very helpful

Hi! I've done this class almost everyday during the last week and it feels so supportive for me, so thank you! 🙏 I wonder, is there a particular time during the day that this class is more suited for or maybe it doesn't matter? I like to practice yoga in the morning and I thought that maybe this could be a gentle start of the day. Thanks again! ✨

This simple, slow practice calmed me down. Thank you. Do you have any other videos?🙂

Amazing

Good stuff!

My back always hurts when I sit cross-legged. Is there a stretch or exercise I could do to improve my back flexibility. I run and do powerlifting could it be that I am too stiff?

This was interesting. I will say as someone who has experienced a lot of trauma, that the suggestion that I’m safe is not very helpful. I do appreciate the approach and the autonomy recognition but I couldn’t complete the class after the first minute due to that directive. Not saying this to be critical but to share my experiences so it may be educational for yoga teachers that are working in the trauma space. I’ll check out some more of your videos and see there is one that I enjoy 🙏🏼

Awesome

Bonjour Hannah !! First thing first merci beaucoup thanx a lot !!!also i have a really personal question.. i've been diagnostic bipolar few years ago and i practice yoga on an everyday basis & lifestyle since 9 years Now. I ve discovered you recently and All i wanna do is practice and knowing more about trauma informed Yoga ! I've Already done a 200 YTT. And my question is : How my trauma can be concerned by this scientific kind of Yoga ? And am i considered in a trauma ?? Thanx from France , Namaste Marion 37yo 🍀

🙏🏼❤

What is the best time to do this form yoga and how many time a week one should do it?

I’m really interested in trying out trauma informed yoga but I’m super curious about something I have experienced. It’s like I feel super triggered and angry when someone tells me I’m safe, like it feels like they are trying to gaslight me or something because I don’t feel safe. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I’m just curious if anyone else out there can relate.

Hola ermosura buenos días señorita saludos

❤

I can't focus on this video, I try to stay focused, but... my mind's too distracted: 1) I am constantly flooded by memories that fill me with rage. I am raped by rage. I could murder for all I used to put up with. 2) how is it that I've spent my whole life in poverty when I have the talents, passions, and skills that could make me wildly rich? 3) stress, stress, stress and more stress... always 999-trillion things to do and the thought of doing any of it just makes me want to die. (I am traumatized just contemplating it all.) 4) food is my only escape. but for the sake of my health, I cannot keep escaping in food, or it will literally kill me... 5) never in my whole life have I ever had true love or a real friend. never ever have I...

Is it normal to do this to het rid of dpdr but it worsen it the first times?

Hi, do you give trauma-informed yoga classes?

i’m in the 🛁

Is it only me that cried all the time? 😭

Is this anything like Eastern/Traditional meditation?? I'm a Christian and its not recommended that we practice yoga because of the pagan origin, but I really need help recovering from ptsd

great practice! A little too much talking for me. Maybe some solfegio frequencies would also work to support the aim of the session. Thank you for all the content you create. I appreciate you.

I found out about this after trying to have lesbian sex I have no idea its almost like I'm angry at my abuser for holding me back from what this lesbian needs

Please seek therapy from a speech language pathologist trained in treating vocal cord dysfunction. This is a relatively unknown condition often brought on by ptsd and feels like you can’t catch your breath. Thank you
