Reminder for anyone who needs it, you dont have to soley breathe in and out of your nose, and your exhales can be audible. I have practiced yoga for 10 years and a lot of teachers emphasize breathing through your nose, but ive noticed that i often hold back my exhales when its constricted through my nostrils. Let out a moan in your sigh of relief, it feels so good to let out that stored trauma. You are safe, you are loved, you are worthy! Keep up the great work, youre doing amazing things for yourself 🥰
That session flew by . I didn't have a huge emotional moment, but my hips feel amazing afterwards.
Yeah takes a lot to dive deep I have been doing hip stuff for month didn’t feel anything to deep but this session allowed me to and it felt good physically and emotionally
@@ausssan555personally, i prefere the Mel Gibson method of emotional release
I really didn’t expect to cry like a baby but it hit me on the left side pigeon pose. Your words carry so much healing, for some of us it’s the first time we’ve felt like we are allowed to make conscious choices as to what feels good to us and our bodies. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
@@brittneyjones844 thank you girl! I hope you find even more healing ❤️
The choice is always yours🤎 thank you for allowing me to be a guide.
Me too. Wasn’t until I came out of it.
Have mercy! Me too. Wow!
This is crazy this was my experience but the right pigeon pose. It’s incredible how much we store and keep away within our bodies. I’m so grateful we all got to experience this practice - so healing!
I sobbed uncontrollably the entire time. I could feel that I was so afraid to start the yoga session, but once I got into it, I couldn’t stop crying. I remembered shit from YEARS ago that I hadn’t thought about in forever. Stuff from my childhood came up that I clearly haven’t resolved. Cried for another hour afterwards. Powerful, powerful stuff
I cannot believe this video lasted almost 30 mins, it went by so quickly! I am still in shock and confused at what I felt. Your kind words and support means a lot! ❤️
Lost my baby and have been feeling numb since. Avoiding the subject and haven’t been able to cry. I didn’t believe the video would help at first but as I went on I found myself bursting into tears. Thank you so much. Truly. There is love here.
I’m so sorry. I hope you can heal soon. Sending love, you got this🩷🩷
@@mahilipreira8843 thank you so much
From one stranger to another, Sending you some love ❤, You’re so so strong
Sending you all of my love. I can't imagine the pain that you're in. Wishing you peace.
@@aidenlav thank you
Thank you for making this a safe space for me to cry and feel not judged. When you said "don't try to fix it or make it better" ugh balled my eyes
I'm so glad you felt free to express your emotions. Thanks for sharing, Deanna 🤎
I was crying a ton as well
That's where I need to accept my body that doesn't want to do these advanced moved lifting the spine up off the floor like a dang magic wand. I just need to accept my body as it is. I'm fat abd my back is weak & I just can't lift my back up off the floor. Probably Need to cry my eyes out. Underneath this anger is sorrow.
I can't do child's pose either . It hurts my knees so ???
I guess just skip that part of the video
@@sandbar3000 yes just skip and do the parts that you’re comfortable with! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video! I have been disconnected from or made an enemy of my body for so long. This really helped me in my current process of connecting to my body and grounding. It's hard not to feel intimidated by exercise/movement when you have been stagnant for a while, so thank you for making this and helping me and others to give love to their bodies.
Serena, I am so glad this class created a moment to connect with and give love to your body. Thanks for sharing ♥️
Beautiful, I am a trauma informed psychologist and this is stellar! I've already sent this video out...Thankyou 🙏🏽
Thanks, Susan! 🙏
The way you speak is so healing I cannot even describe it. I was abused by my mother my whole childhood and you say words, that just speak directly to my soul... and when you connect that with the movement and stretches it is an amazing experience. I ended up crying like a baby. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this amazing practice.
I really didn't think I had any stored trauma in my hips but I needed to stretch then out and this looked interesting. I read a couple comments, scoffed a bit at the ones that mentioned crying, and started the video... And then **I** started crying during pigeon, which has certainly never happened to me before!! It is wild! I will definitely come back to this, and am now subscribed.
Thank you for sharing this practice. I experienced a lot of emotional release in every position. (Which is a fancy way to say I cried through most of this practice)
I'm glad you received some release, Allyson.
the pigeon poses made me feel like i was releasing so much energy that i’ve been holding onto for so long. i felt almost overwhelmed but in a good way, knowing that it was all leaving my body. thank you so much for this.❤️
My hips and low back have been very tight. I've been experiencing anxiety that manifests in my hips especially at night. MRIs and x-rays don't show a lot of abnormality. I'm constantly trying to figure out what to do to help my body relax. When you mentioned not trying to fix but just observe, that meant so much to hear. With the first circling movement of my right hip, I cried and have no idea why! Thank you for this video.
I've never cried in a yoga practice before. This was unfamiliar and so beautiful and wonderfully freeing. I feel that my physical body has opened up. Thank you so much for this. For the permissions you've given and reminded me to give myself; and for the freedom and encouragement to honor my body and what it's feeling and needs in each and every moment. What a beautiful practice this was. Thank you. Peace. 💜
Wow! What a powerful experience. Thank you for sharing💛
Wow. I used to be so much more comfortable in my body than I am now. So many things have happened to me in the past few years that I haven't processed. I searched for this video on a whim, on a late night frustration cry and I sobbed through the whole practice. I felt it so deeply in these poses that used to feel so easy for me. Thank you for helping me start to heal again
Your healing is powerful! I'm glad this class supported you when you needed it. 💛
Good work!
I didn’t expect to cry and was almost afraid I would. I did end up crying and it felt like a great release. if you’re intimidated to try this, you will be okay and safe! Thank you for being so comforting during the entire session 💗
Your approach and language is superb. The constant reminder that we have choice is just as magical the physical yoga itself. The one thing all traumatized individuals have in common is feeling the lack of choice and safety. To constantly Bering attention to this creates a renewed sense of empowerment. Quite magical what you’re creating. Thank you. I feel better in my body after having completed this. I have held evades of trauma in my hips and it’s at point where I’m done bargaining. 🙏🏽❤️
I just wanted to express my gratitude for this. I suffered a car accident a year and half ago, and I honestly almost experienced another one today. Yoga and meditation has been such a blessing for me to feel safe in my body and process trauma and anxiety. I definitely needed help processing the day today, and I'm so thankfully I found this video 🧡
I really struggle with finding spaces that make me feel safe. This was amazing. Thank you
I read a comment asking how 27 mins went by so quickly and I understand that feeling now. I don’t know where that time went but I feel freer in my hips especially my right hip. Thank you Hannah for sharing your gift 💖🙏🏿
Thank you so much for this practice Hannah! I've never done trauma informed yoga before but I feel calmer and more connected to my body and womanhood after this. I found myself saying "My body is mine." That's a very profound and powerful affirmation for me because my body never truly felt like it belonged to me after all the trauma I'd been through. Truly thank you.
Yes, your body is YOURS. It belongs to you and no one else. 💛
Doing this everyday for my CPTSD. Wonderful job you’re doing here. Thank you so much
“Do not try to fix it or make it better” right after I was asking my body and myself forgiveness for trying this so hard, to remove the pain on my back. After left pigeon pose my system just looked for the released and went to tears right away! It’s been an hour and I’m still crying! Wow! Powerful! The release is unbelievable!!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I did this sensation all the way through and I tell you that it felt amazing on my hips. I found I was clenching my teeth, I switched to some open mouth breath work it was awesome. It wasn't until the end of the session when I got emotional. It was actually aa really awesome experience and most of the time I can barely sit through a video like this but her voice is sooo soothing and I found myself really into this.
I’ve never done trauma informed yoga before, this was the most beautiful experience. The constant invitations, offerings only if feeling safe, and gentle language and pace was so so reassuring. I’m feeling so grateful for this practice today, thank you ❤
I damaged my body wrecklessly in more than one ways over the years and I've been in pain since my childhood especially around the hips, the shoulders and my head, probably because of my trauma. Learning how to move and to treat me in a healing and careful way from you here helps a lot. My pain get's better, I feel better overall and I'm grateful that you share this. 🙏❤
I just finished and I’m crying like a baby. Omg I needed this. Thank you Hannah
You are so welcome, Cristy. Thanks for sharing 🧡
Crying whyyy
Ive done these movements so many times. I did almost the exact same flow. The difference that it made for her to simply invit those feelings astounds me. I feel empowered, joyful, and grateful. Im left kinda speechless honestly. Thank you❤
I felt grounded afterwards and spent half an hour sitting at my mat, just being happy and feeling good. Thank you for this beautiful session ❤🧘🏻✨
I’m always crying in my yoga lessons since iv become very flexible .people are quiet surprised to see it , but the release is incredible and I find it has increased my flexibility, so much negative energy and past stress stored .
During the first childs pose everything came out and then at the last child pose too. I cried to Spirit saying thank you I need to feel. I wept so hard. Thank you Hannah for helping me through this. Blessed Be Sister
What a profound experience! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
I shared this with a client & she had a huge emotional release. Thank you so much for creating this! I'm a 500 hr RYT & am incredibly particular about which teachers I recommend for my clients who want to do yoga at home. You give amazing cues & go at a great pace.
what a beautiful practice. I have never felt pigeon in this deep way! While I didn't cry, but my whole body was shaking in them. this felt so healing.
Dear Hannah, I had to come back to tell you I feel so much gratitude for you at this moment. My body shook and the whole 30 minutes felt cathartic. I didn't even realise we'd been at it for 30 minutes. Thank you, you're amazing at what you do❤
Such a healing balm for those of us with hip related trauma. I’ll definitely be revisiting your practices.
After surviving years of various traumas, healing can feel not as stimulating or even boring to our brains which are so used to hyperactivity and chaos. This quiet practice, accompanied with healing words and soft voice was so soothing. Something I didn’t know my soul needed. Thank you for your presence. 🤍🤍
I didn't realize how much stretching could make me cry, my hips feel released and I feel relaxed in mind. The way you talk is very soothing and calming also. Thank you for this
I'm glad you found some release. Thanks Danielle 🙏
You immediately emanate such a warm, deeply grounding presence. Thank you for this video!
This was absolutely fantastic and will absolutely become a part of my yoga rotation. Hannah has such a kind and calming energy, and her approach to yoga is inclusive and professional. I love how she invites the yogis to take part in each movement and never makes me feel like I should be doing a certain thing at a certain time. She lets us know that our body needs different things at different times. I didn't feel rushed at all, which I love--most videos I've watched so far don't hold poses for a significant amount of time. This felt so restorative for mind AND hips. Thanks Hannah!!
Thank you so much for this! I didn’t know that I had so many emotions suppressed inside me. Each of the pigeon pose let out different emotions. In the end, I felt so much better and at ease with myself. You’re an angel!
Thank you so much for this video and the whole series you've just uploaded, you really can't imagine how much this helps
Thank you. I hope those who need this, find this. I found your process, delivery, engagement powerful and necessary in these times.
Thank you so much for putting out this resource for free where everyone can access it. It has helped me so much x
Thank you. I start doing yoga a week ago when i had a mental breakdown because of trauma, and i found your video. Since then i need to do at least 15 minutes every night, and i really think take the subscription. What makes the difference it's the freedom you give us, most of the teacher at the gym or even yoga teacher pushed me when i couldnt do more, thinking i was lazy, and everytime i hurted my body so much that i couldnt do sport for months after. Thanks to your videos i start doing sport again little by little, i feel safe and also loved. 🙏
I'm so glad to hear that you felt free to choose what was best for your body! Thanks for practicing💛
Oh my goodness that's so sad and unacceptable for people who aremeant to be healing you to do that to you 😔 Your comment is a reminder to us to be very careful who we trust, and always be prepared to defend ourselves.
I'm so glad you have finally found a safe and supportive space. May God bless you 🙏 ❤️
I just graduated college and I felt like this video helped me start chipping away at the tension I have been feeling in my hips. It was amazing and I’m excited to do it again. (:
How straining most of these were for me says quiet a lot, I rest so much of my stress on myself in an effort to conform. Stretching out and really "doing what gels comfortable" really showed me a lot.
Dear Hannah, the way you narrate stages of different asanas is so calming and nurturing. Maybe it wasn't the best thing to do, but I found myself applying your words on my psyche rather than body. I felt almost everything you said could have a "double meaning" in that sense. I will definitely be coming back to this video or taking what I learned and growing from it. Thank you for not rushing and allowing us to listen to our bodies and ease our minds.
Thanks for sharing this! I love the idea of applying these cues to the mind as well as the body. 🌻
Very thankful for Hannah and this video! I've watched this video several times before going to bed because that's a time when I typically get anxious, and it helps me relax and feel safe to feel emotions and then let them go so that I can go to sleep (I've also had sadness and anger come up too). Even tonight when I was starting to have a panic attack, I thought to turn on her video and after a while I started to calm down. I love that she speaks so soothingly and kind. And I'm grateful there are no graphics or sounds and not much visual stimulation in the room - those things can heighten my anxiety if I'm in that state - instead it just helps the mind focus on her voice and words and let go. Can't say how much I'm thankful for this resource!!
I can’t believe I have clearly gone so long holding in whatever it was I was holding in. As soon as I leant in to the pigeon pose on the the right I burst into heavy tears and I was sobbing loudly. I’ve not cried like that since I was a young child.
Then again on the left, it took a bit longer but it came again, what felt like out of nowhere.
My hips feel amazing and I feel so calm now. Thank you so so much Hannah xxx
This is since I started practicing movement and releasing trauma the most soft and gentle guided video i've ever seen. ♥️ thank you so much
I bawled my eyes out as soon as I got to the pigeon poses, both times. I’ve been having hip pain for so long and didn’t learn until recently that body pain can be caused by trauma. There’s something about the left side that didn’t feel ready to be released and I’m still having some pain there, so I’ll probably have to come back to this and cry again 😭 thank you so much for this.
I am newer to practicing. This was my first time finding your channel and I’m glad I did. Your voice is so calming and relaxing. I love that you give us reassurance if we need to stop and move into another position or stay longer to feel out the release. I’ll be back to this video daily for hip releases. Definitely hit me after the practice ended and it was well needed.
I'm really glad this video supported you, Ashton. 🌻 thank you for your kind words. :)
Started crying my eyes out from the first child's pose until the end. Much needed. Thank you, Hannah. Amazing channel.
You have no idea how much you've helped me. I'm not really with words but I just wanted to show you my grattitude, thank u 💜
i felt intense relief and idk why. after the pigeon poses both times i would just sit there and breathe over and over and just felt insane rushes of relief
Your words are so carefully chosen and helpful, and your voice is very gentle and relaxing. Thank you so much!
Your voice is so soothing and your energy is so calming, which is exactly what I need right now. As soon as I stretched my right hip I felt such a release of emotions, feelings and thoughts I have not been able to explain during the entire summer. I was cheated on and found out at the beginning of the summer, so healing and releasing has been a challenge, especially while comparing my body to the girl he cheated on me with. You have helped me find my own feelings and identify them. Thank you so much
I'm sorry that happened to you, Andrea! I'm grateful this class could support you in your healing. 🤎
You are magic Hannah! Thank you for being such an excellent teacher, your flow and presence is phenomenal. Slower pace invites more and you totally embodied that!!
Thank you so much for this. I have a lot of stagnant energy in my hips and pelvis area. I’ve been doing a lot somatic work for my legs but this has helped the most. I’ve come back multiple times. Today was a really tough day for me and I know it takes time. I just want to be a good mother and it’s hard some days when your past self wants to control things. One day at a time.
Thank you so much! I didn't even realize my hips needed that, but now they feel soooo relaxed. And the way you kept reminding that I have choice wether I want to end or not, that really helped a lot with emotions and toxic thoughts which I had during the exercises. And also breathing and your calm voice were supporting me all the video and I didn't even notice that we're done. So thank you so so much!
I pray for my twin flame.
I pray for myself.
I pray for our connection.
I pray that all our fears and traumas and wounds
are forever healed and released.
I pray that our heart chakras blossom
at this very moment:
with contentment, with gratitude,
and with blissful joyfulness...
I wasn't expecting as much release as I got from this. Im learning to be more connected with myself and found I was able to do that for most of this practice. Thank you
i honestly love everything about this. as a former abuse victim this was amazing. i was comfortable and never felt overwhelmed with emotion. memories flowed out and away. my hips feel amazing. thank you for this!
This was amazing! The low lunge made me cry. Thank you so much.
I'm glad this class served you well. 🙏
I have practiced yin and other yoga styles for over 20 years. I am also a Reiki practitioner and have a complex autoimmune disease and deal with a lot of joint pain and chronic fatigue. I stumbled upon you on YT and am so glad I did. I really loved this gentle healing practice and for me, a lot came up with my hips. As a Reiki practitioner, I understand how much trauma and emotions we store for decades in our bodies. Look forward to trying out more of your video classes. Namaste. 🙏🫶🙌✨️
Thank you for this video! I felt at the beginning there is big heaviness on my lower body and connected to my heart, heavy to the level i can’t breath well when i did the first hip pose i notice there was heavy feelings came on the surface i a accepted and i almost cry, after i did the second one i felt secure in my body i felt safe like home.. i have never felt like this feelings for a year, so i’m so grateful for you and your effort ❤❤
I feel deeply grateful to have come across your channel and that this video magically had been dropped into my feed. I subscribed even before the video and cried and wept within the first 10 mins. I felt so much of it connected to my heart, my innocence and rightness of being in this body, as woman, as little girl. I can feel the current unfolding of my being and it's a lot around bringing stability and safety within my body and life at a very foundational level. Thank you deeply, many blessings 🙏🤍🥰
Wow, thank you so much for sharing your experience, Maria! I am cheering you on in your healing journey. 🌻
I can’t believe this video was 30 minutes. It felt like 5 🙏🏼 your voice is so soothing
Wow, I had a massive realization during that right hip pigeon sequence. Thank you so much; this was amazing. 💙💚
I've been really worried about my hips because I have scoliosis and I can usually feel them touching the bones around them. So uncomfortable. This increased my confidence in my hips. Thank you for teaching.
the moment you said what do you need now towards the end of the practice I started sobbing… thank you for this practice❤️🙏
It’s really incredible doing these exercises and suddenly realizing how much tension I have in my body. You’re the best!
Thank you so much. I’ve been searching and searching for an emotional hip release video. So many didn’t help. Sobbed like a baby when you said “this is hard”
It feels hard because it is hard, and you're working through it courageously 🙏
You are so fantastic. Your pace and language is so comforting,, it felt like you knew exactly what I needed. I have tears streaming down my face,, thank you 🙏
Hi Leah, I'm grateful this class supported you!
Hannah, seriously, thank you for this!!!
I absolutely love your word choice! I felt safe, in control of the movements and really concentrated on what the movement felt like (and not about what it looked like, which is what I usually get caught up in). Thank you 🤍 I’ll be back!
Thank you Hannah! I feel extremely relaxed now.
Just cried so so much at the left hip release…. I saved this video and keep coming back to it and tears keep leaving me and I hope the stores trauma too. Thank you again may god bless all your work / life
I love this video so much I have done this three times now and it has been so helpful. I wish there was more content like this available on CZcams. Commenting so this gets a boost and you get more interaction for the algorithm-  thank you so much hannah you are really making a difference!!!
Thanks for your support and kind words!
This was so healing. I am so happy & grateful I did this. ❤Thank you so much
Second day with Hannah! I feel so light. I naturally crossed my legs oppsite than usual at the end. I feel open and greatful❤ Happy the universe lead me to you
Thank You Hannah for another graceful, empowering yoga session ❤❤❤
I personally haven't been gentle to my own body so thank you for reminding me that I have full control of how I feel. thank you.
I didn't get emotional during but felt a sense of calm I haven't felt in A very long time. My hips feel so much lighter and less painful. Thank you🖤
Your very gentle and kind and your words were so helpful.
It is my hope that you feel safe, connected and at home in your body 💚🙏 Beautiful! Thank you Hannah for this sensitive Yoga class!
Oh my goodness I’m so grateful I found your page. God bless you! ♥️ This helped me so much- just what I needed. Thank you!
You are the best. Thank you for offering such a safe space. I genuinely felt so seen and so comforted. Thank you.
I'm a yoga teacher myself but wasn't able to do a lot of poses, until my teacher assessed that I'm holding trauma in my body, and in my search of trauma informed yoga I came across your channel and found your practices so healing and beautiful ❤ thank you Hannah
Thank you Hannah. Your delivery was so gentle which I appreciate so much! Feeling calmer than I have felt in a long time. Namaste.
No way that was 27 minutes. This was awesome. I’ll come back to this hopefully daily, my lower body is so insanely tight. Thank you for the video.
I literally can’t breath from how much I cried thank you so much I might still be crying
Thank you so much for this practice. I love your gentleness and your intentional vocabulary as well as the practice itself. All of it is so incredibly important to give a felt sense of safety in any trauma recovery therapy. Grateful.
Oh, wow! I did this yesterday before going to deal with a difficult situation. I didn't notice anything come up. I forgot about the yoga. Today I was overcome with waves of emotions and cried a few times. I didn't understand why until I remembered that I did this yesterday. Now, I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to feel and release these deep emotions that have been stuck. I feel there is more processing to do and I am glad for it to heal. I know I begin to feel more whole.
Thank you so much for the love that you give your world around you through this practice. I felt seen & held. Thank you for all the steps you've taken to get yourself to this point as a healer. I am very grateful to you & tonight you helped me a great deal x
That is very kind, thank you Stacey! 🙏
Saving this for tomorrow evening. I just know i’m gonna cry my heart out, but i’m ready to heal. This seems like a good way to start doing that
I use your sessions to calm my anxiety and adhd before bed. I always sleep deeply afterwards and fall asleep in 5-15 minutes. And the next day I have more range in movement.
This was so nourishing and the time flew by, thank you.
First time doing this practice. I cry almost entire video . I didin’t expect that but this is something i really needed ❤️thank u so much …
I watch the same channels for yoga videos and have for years, but im SO excited to try more from your channel! this was a perfect bedtime session
