I love that your dog regularly looks at me to check if I’m still doing the exercises
I was half expecting the dog to join in the exercise :-)
Lol! She's here for emotional support 😂
😂
timestamp ?
😂😂😂
Thank you so much for not talking so much. It was just the right amount of talking that was super relaxing and straight to the point . ❤
Yes. I totally agree
And no music! ☺️
I love this but I do have to make people aware how powerful this is. I've been on a healing journey from past trauma for years and got into yoga again due to this channel. I tend to suppress my emotions because I'm used to being in an environment where I'm only safe when I do that. When doing this yoga, I never cried. But after a whole month of doing it at least 3 times a week, I'm suddenly finding to correlation between this yoga and the amount of times I took time to cry. One of the things my therapist suggested me to do is to practice sitting down with negative emotions because I have an instict not to do it. And I dont look forward to it most of the time. But this month its been easier to cry since doing this yoga. Highly recommended but do with caution. Make sure you're in a safe comfortable environment to fully feel the effects of this yoga
Sounds like you are becoming more connected and feeling safe within your body, how beautiful. Love to you Sister xx
Thank you for this comment. ❤
thank you for this ❤
So do you mean to say that you didn't cry _while_ doing the yoga, but maybe later that day or week? Because I also did some somatic release asanas yesterday afternoon and didn't feel any emotions, but cried profusely in the evening. Also, I didn't seem to find any improvement in a painful adductor immediately after the exercise, but after the evening cry, I did! Just wanted to know other people's experiences too regarding this
@@orangenerator yep! Personally, I didn't cry during the yoga. Its a fair assumption to think that each person reacts to these differently. I sometimes dont cry later in the day. Maybe tomorrow or the next week. But I can definitely say its easier to get in touch with my emotions when I can cry. I havent done this yoga in weeks and I havent cried for a month I think.
Love the quietness of this video
this was quite literally one of the best stretching videos i have done. simple yet effective and i love all of the silence and calmness in voice. yes!
Agreed 100%
Me too!🎉❤
Agreed!
I’ve tried many trauma informed yoga videos they were too long or the instructor was talking too much and giving me anxiety, your video is very calming and 20 min felt like 3 minutes thank you so much
❤❤❤
Yes I love that you don't talk really. You are a calm presence..we need that space to heal. and you facilitate that. xo
I absolutely love this video. I’ve been doing this somatic yoga for 6 days sometimes multiple times a day. I started because of the trauma I wanted to release and then I hurt my back and this yoga literally took all the pain away every time I would do it so that’s why I did it multiple times a day. Well this evening my back and hip was hurting so bad I started the yoga and I finally got the emotional release I’ve been waiting for. I cried uncontrollably for a time paused the video so I won’t miss any of the positions and just felt the pain and trauma leaving my body. Even the spot in my hip seemed to immediately lose the pain I’ve had all day. I will continue to follow your CZcams channel and look forward to more emotional releases. I’m working on healing so I can be a better me. Thank you for posting your video.
Thank you for sharing ❤️ I'm so happy to hear this practice offered relief.
❤@@caitlinkeliyoga
do you need to be a 'better you'? can't you just accept you?
You can accept yourself while still knowing you have things to work on. This person could be a violent alcoholic for all we know. There's nothing wrong with wanting to become better
I started crying really hard when we did the double sided hip stretch … and I can’t stop now … there’s so much coming up right now … I feel a bit overwhelmed
Thank you for sharing, it's totally normal to experience a flood of emotions and physical sensations during practices like this. Sending lots of love.
I hope you were able to move through the big feelings - I had a similar experience when I did yin for the first time. Nothing wrong with pausing the video and coming back to it when you’re feeling differently ❤ I hope this helps
Just love it. Thank you for your yoga 🧘🏾♀️ practice. God bless you ❤
This is a good thing. Sounds like you had a lot to release. I bet you felt better after you released all of that
❤❤❤ release is so good, even if it doesn't feel that way.... Releasing things that do not serve is ultimately very healing. I hope you're feeling better and taking very good care of you.❤
I love that more people are inviting their beloved furry companions to join them in their yoga practice. My cat loves to weave around me as I flow through my poses. Thank you so much for this wonderful practice Caitlin! Xox
My husky just jumps on me or bites my hair when I do it around him 😭😂 so I can’t
You're welcome
I have heard of people crying while doing hip openers but in my years of yoga ( 20ish years off and on) I have never cried. That changed today. I did this class and the sequence with frog pose just did something.
I cried there too
I feel like I just lost 10 pounds of pain! Absolutely loved this and it wasn’t aggressive in any way.
Honestly feels like I’ve lost weight too because of this, not just emotionally
I love your dog sooo much! She keeps calmly checking in - I feel seen. She clearly brings you so much joy as well. Thank you for the peaceful video - you do just the right amount of talking, your voice is so calming and the quiet while holding poses is so refreshing.
I didn't cry, but I felt a little anxious while holding a pose or two. About 30 mins after finishing, I felt off and beyond exhausted. I took a deep mid morning nap & I'm convinced that was my body's way of dealing with emotions released during this session. Thanks for this!
Thank you Thank you Thank you. I cant say that enough. I found myself pausing a lot to stay in the poses longer because my body said so. The outer hip stretches!!!!! I've never felt that before. I know what my trauma is and for the first time I felt some release from my hips which is where I store all of my trauma. I will be doing this often(maybe everyday) after my somatic workout. I'm determined to get my body out of freeze mode and get back to myself. Thanks again.
Beautiful ❤
Thankyouuuuu so much for not talking the whole time! Or over explaining to us like we're slow, or rushing through like so many other instructors! The calm voice and pauses in between help so much! This was a deeply emotional yoga session for me, your dog was everything !
Yes! At times I wondered if the video had frozen, but was pleasantly surprised to realise that that was just her pausing in the asanas.
I know it hasn’t been long, but I’ve been doing this for the last 3 mornings to start my day. It’s been really great and feels so good!!!
That is long! It’s a great accomplishment, well done👏🏽
I’m a total yoga beginner, I loved this, I shook so much throughout. I have PTSD so hoping that starting a yoga journey will help, this was my first day and first video. I loved it. Thank you x
I am healing from a long illness and trapped trauma too.I started today. May we both find peace and release. ❤️🩹 I think I need to do this everyday.
@@evamarie558 good luck on your journey x
20 minutes felt like 2 minutes. My whole lower body was shivering for the first time. Thank you that felt amazing
Sounds erotic
What that means shivering ? Does that mean releasing of trauma ? Cause I felt that too on right hip
I think so because it was different from the pain you experience from an external pressure on the hips.
I did a Chakra clearing meditation once and my whole body was buzzing ❤
The dog just did a stretch long stretch before resting on the mat ❤
I absolutely love this routine. It's funny how some of the poses are a bit uncomfortable, but it's a "good hurt"... seriously feels like something my body has needed for a long time. Thanks so much!
I finished pelvic radiation therapy at the end of 2023. I have developed a painful stiffness in my hips from the radiation (confirmed by my medical team). My oncologist offered drugs, I told them that would be my last resort. I have never done yoga, but I was able to follow your video all the way through, making adjustments when the stretches were too painful. By the end of the video, I began to feel a bit better. I look forward to making your video part of my healing journey. Thank you so much ❤
Sending blessings for your healing!
I’m m so happy you found this! You are healing!
Doing this Hip Opening Trauma informed Yoga, is the best thing I ever could have done for myself. I feel so Good, I feel so enlightening and intune with myself, I feel Joy, and peace. Right now is the beginning of a brand new life for me. I was also able to understand my past traumas as well as heal my past traumas. I believe God brought me to this Channel for a reason because this is something I don't do. I pray that all who has done this may experience the same.❤
This was a beautiful way to start my New Year❤ I just went through a a very difficult couple of years and stopped taking care of my body in the way I know I deserve. Doing this today reminded me how much my body loves yoga and needs it. Thank you, Namaste
'taking care of my body in the way I know I deserve' ...what a wonderful way to put it❤
I feel ya. Good for you 💕
I am a female veteran of 20yrs and never learned to trust my emotions or my own internal feelings about what those 20 years brought me. Your yoga sessions have brought me calmness and an inner insight that I wasn't aware of. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
Thank you for your service and for sharing your story. I'm so glad these practices are helpful! ❤️
I followed this video and even though I’ve heard of ppl relieving emotions through this and crying, I wasn’t sure if that would be my experience. I finished the video and felt very relaxed and a lot of the stiffness in my body went away with the stretching but I didn’t cry or get emotional. Or so I thought. I was scrolling on TikTok after, when a video popped up of someone singing Ave Maria and I just busted out in tears as I was listening to it. I started reflecting on how I need to be more kind with myself, in the sense that I’m very hard on myself, emotionally and mentally. Bottom line is, it felt good to let it out.
My own dog kept checking on me as I followed along with these poses. These stretches felt amazing, thank you.
I finally was able to let out some deep sighs and only sobbed a little bit. It doesn't sound like much, but it's a lot more progress than my other attempts to release the trauma/tension in my hips. I'm definitely going to try again, thank you so much!
Since my spine disc problems, did these exercises everyday for 2 months straight and probably my trauma in my spine is healing at this point, I love the trauma informed excercsies they helped me to release a LOT! If you have sciatica, bulged disc this will be great for you.
Omg thank you! I was looking for this comment. 🙏🏾 I'll start today ❤
This was so healing and therapeutic. Did more for me in 20 minutes than any session with a physical therapist for my back issues/injuries, and stiff hips. I'm so glad I found you. Thank you.
The dog though 🥰🥰🥰 What a wonderful addition to the process 🩷
I too, loooved the doggo ❤
I read a comment that someone cried. As I am doing a few of the exercises I could feel a lot of anxiety and uncertainty but no tears. Until I did happy baby and I rocked myself and burst into laughter. Then I felt immediate sadness and uncertainty and started crying. These exercises truly help thank you.
I’ve always heard of stretches making you cry and releasing something for you but this is the first time I ever actually cried. I had a memory and thought resurface that I truly forgotten and crying that out was amazing thank you!
I have autism and much trauma. I recently relapsed into self-harm and leaning onto my left leg for pigeon pose reduced me to tears after being unable to cry for weeks. Thank you for your practice.

And that’s how I found the perfect start to my day. What a calming set of poses. I loved your dog joining :) I imagine what a world might be like if we all connected to our bodies like this every morning
I didn’t think I had any emotions stored in my hips. Felt really good going through all the stretches. And then when I took my first deep breath in savasana, I started crying. Did not expect that at all. But felt so good to release those emotions. Thank you! I’ll be coming back for more!
I started tearing up the moment you said “discomfort” in the very beginning. It made me think of group therapy and how we acknowledge suffering and how much that helps me. Thank you for this.❤
I’m so thankful I found you. I’m a hairdresser of 8 years and even though I am still in my 20s, my body is FEELING the work I put it through. This video has seriously helped me loosen up my body and not feel so tight. I will be revisiting your channel often! 💜
I’ve been doing hair 17 years and I’m 35 and my body is FUCKED. 😩😩
I love how your dog brings healing energy to this practice as well. It was such a beautiful flow! Thank you and Namaste! ❤
I love your dog so much, I have been doing this every single morning for a week now and he still makes me smile, thank you for sharing sister of light. Namaste from the divine in me to the divine in you.🌐🫂🪷
This pace worked perfectly for me not too fast not to slow. And just right level of challenge, makes me feeling so light and stretched afterwards. Thank you
I want to thank you for posting this yoga session.
My hips and lower back have been messed up for weeks and I find this so freeing and helpful.
I have ADHD along with menopause 🤪 so sometimes 5 minutes can seem like forever but I always make it through the 20 minutes easily and rarely look at the time.
I’ve been doing this session daily which also helps my procrastination because it’s just my go to without having to scroll through many different choices.
Thank you again.
I felt a wave of calmness coming over me. This was so long ago I felt it, being in an overstressed state for a very long time
Thank you for offering this!! So needed.
That was amazing! So calming and felt so good. The time literally flew.
Thank you for this! My body feels great after this. ❤

I gotta say, did this for the first time this morning and instant results! I’ve had lower back pain/ stiffness when I bend and while I still feel slight tenseness, I have a huge smile on my face because it feels SO much better. Thank you!!
Excellent work! Thank you💛
This was such an amazing stretch/emotional release. I really needed this and soooo glad I found this video!
