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
Thank you for sharing this, Jella. Your choices are always honored and celebrated!
i started crying too.
Me too.
Yes it being optional really helped me as well.
Totally agree
I like the way you say "you could," instead of telling us what to do. That feels very kind. ❤️
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 for offering this free resource to those who need help but may not be able to access it otherwise.
Wow. I had tears coming down half way through the practice like a cleanse! Mind boggling
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
Hi Tana, I'm glad to hear that this video supported you! :) thanks for practicing.
Thank you. I experienced release right at the beginning when you mentioned ‘autonomy’ and ‘I am safe’.
My first time trying yogo
Yay for trying new things!! Thanks for sharing, Jamie :)
Jamie, I’ve been weights from 135-275 ; I feel you. Trauma is an ebb and flow of torment; or victory (or so I’m told). Reading your post/comment I felt that the “chubby girl” inside me didn’t have to be scared, but encouraged. Thanks, girl, I needed that today 🙏🥰
You took the creepiness out of yoga. Thank you.
Hi Jess, I’m glad this class was helpful! Yea, I totally agree that there’s a lot of teaching styles that are weird.
Why is yoga creepy? Youre very much brainwashed
@@HannahUiri
Weird yoga teaching style? I go to my neighborhood yoga class and use yoga vid
Weird yoga teaching style...wow. Good thing I've not come across them
First time - I cried involuntarily. Will definitely be doing more
Sounds like maybe your body received a needed release. Thank you for sharing, Gwendalyn. :)
i cried as well
I just want you to know that what you are doing is helping so many people.
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. 😊
Kel, I hope this class was helpful. I hope you're recovering well!
@@HannahUiri Thankyou for taking the tIme to respond Hanna. Yes, I did find it very helpful. It's very engaging and very non confrontational. I like that you offer alternative movements based on individual capability. I really look forward to doing some more of your videos like this.
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.
You're so welcome! I'm grateful this flow was supportive to you. :)
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 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.
That's wonderful, Felicity! I'm so glad it's helpful to you.
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
Update: I got undiagnosed today:)))
does this really help , i am suffering from ptsd from last 2 years and last 4 years has been very scary. No matter how much i try i can't overcome my fear
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 happy to hear it, Daniel! Glad you're taking care of yourself. :)
This has become a regular part of my Somatic Therapy treatment. It includes so many of the movements that my Somatic Therapist recommends. Where did you get your training?
@@annaavizur178 Hi Anna, I'm happy to hear that this has become a part of your regular practice. I received my training with the Justice Resource Institute under David Emerson. I also offer my own trauma informed yoga training for any health and wellness provider, as well as individuals that want to attend for personal development. My next training is February 2022 if you're interested. :)
Fantastic. Easy enough for a 52 year old man but still challenging.
Thank you
Playing victim worked years later dangerously vulnerable without boundaries
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 .
Wow, what a powerful healing journey you have been on Eri! Thank you for sharing this.
@@HannahUiri You are lovely,. Yup, it's been a trip alright . . . and keeps on going. I wanted to put this comment because i really appreciate what you are doing., so many will not touch "that" with a ten foot pole, yet those of us living with it are, "but there must be something i can do' I just got turned down (again) for a consultation for yoga because i've had a head injury. Or i could have got it for $300. hmmm.
@@333Eriana Yes, I also thought "there must be more" while healing from trauma. And your intuition is correct, there is so much more! I'm sorry you've had a hard time finding support in this area. If it would be helpful, you might look into my weekly Trauma Informed Yoga classes that launch this October. You can look into it more with this link, and see if it'll be a good fit for your needs. www.hannahuiri.com/soma-yoga-studio
@@HannahUiri thankyou - you've already been the best help this year.
I just heard about the benefits of yoga for PTSD and I'm SO happy to find this. THANK YOU HANNAH
Wonderful flow ❤️ I felt completely rejuvenated afterwards. Thank you for this!
I'm so glad, Brionna! Thanks for practicing.
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!❤
On a similar journey. Much love, strenght and peace to you fellow warrior
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
Wow, thank you for your kind words! I'm truly grateful that this video supported you. :)
Thank you so much for this Hannah, this was honestly such a relief. Will be coming back to this, your videos are amazing
Rosy, I'm so glad it brought relief. :)
i love this yoga because i can do it on my bed after a long day of work
Thank you! I needed a restorative practice and this one was great!
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 🙏♥️
I’m happy to hear that this practice supported you. :)
Thank you so much for providing me with the gentleness I needed today
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.
Melissa, I am so glad you're taking time for yourself and allowing yourself to cry and find relief on your mat.
Thank you for this, this was my first time trying this and it helped me in a totally new way
Daniel, I'm so grateful it was helpful to 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❤️
Thanks hannah, second time trying yoga and this resonates with me much more profoundly than the other one i tried.
Benji, I'm grateful this resonated with you!
@@HannahUiri Thanks, Hannah. I think what is so helpful is the space you create with your open invitational instructions, and the comforting and supportive language you use creates an environment without pressure and encourages autonomy while you take the lead in showing us how we can experience our body.
I'd love to see another video like this for the same length if you ever have the time!
@@Ben-ki8ke This makes my heart so happy to hear! Yes, I've been working on putting together some new videos. :)
@@HannahUiri I'm glad to hear it! Keep it up :)
Thank you Hannah. What a gift. Namaste.
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. 🙏🦋
This was beautifully put together with so much thoughtfulness I truly appreciate your work I feel so much better ❤
This had me in tears.... Thank you
I’m so glad it served you well. Thank you for sharing your experience. ♥️
me too. there was a part in the beginning, when hannah says something, that just released the tears so hard
@@daburningdezire What a sweet moment of release, Nidhi. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Love this practice!
this is so gentle i love it!
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 😌
Katy, I can definitely relate. I'm so glad this class brought you some relief.
Cried the whole way through 😂 glad to start feeling feelings and owning my body
Thank you for this video that gave us so much freedom
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
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.
Thank you, Bill. I'm happy to hear these videos are helpful to your healing. :)
@@HannahUiri Yes they are Hannah.
I'll watch a second video at 5pm.
Take Care and Be Well.
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.
Thank you so much. It was calming and very helpful. Few tears, but its ok 🌸🌺🌸
I'm grateful this video was supportive for you, Nelli.
Hi. Thank you! Gauteng, South Africa 🌹💜🌹
Nice and sweet! Loved this practice! Thank you☀️🌻🙏🏽
Heavenly! Thank you :)
Thankyou 💜 🙏
Thank you 🙏
You are so welcome :)
I use this everyday. Helping so much 🙏
Happy to hear it, Gitanjali!
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.
Completely understandable, Angela. Sounds like you're showing up for yourself in a big way. :)
Thank you Hannah.
Very awesome! Thank you 🙏
Thanks
Thank you 🌬️
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 🍀
This simple, slow practice calmed me down. Thank you. Do you have any other videos?🙂
Hi Margot! Yes, I have lots of short videos on my channel, and if you're looking for complete videos, you can check out my online trauma informed yoga platform, Soma Yoga at SomaYogaStudio.com
Thank you 😭😭😭
You're welcome, Taylor!
amazing, thank u
Thank you so much, this is just what I needed ♥️
Glad to hear it!
Thankyou thankyou thankyou I love the way you teach. Makes me feel very comfortable and relaxed.🙏💜
This was amazing, thank you
Thank you, Lucille!
thank you 💛
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! ✨
Hi Maja! I'm so grateful that this class has been supportive to you. I think the best time of day to practice if when you feel the most receptive to it, or when you'll know that you'll need a moment of centering. Also, I just noticed that you singed up for Soma Yoga, and I'm happy you're here!
@@HannahUiri Thank you! Yes, I have! I'm looking forward to it. I won't be able to attend live though but I will catch the replay :)
great job, very helpful
Thanks Rebekah!
Thank you!
You're so welcome. :)
Thank you so much
You're so welcome, Mohsen.
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...
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?
Hola ermosura buenos días señorita saludos
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 🙏🏼
Hello, thank you for sharing your experience. I agree with you that this cue is not helpful, and could even be counterintuitive. This was one of the first videos I ever created, and I have since altered the cue to: *if* you feel safe. When I first began sharing trauma informed yoga videos there was a lot of trial and error and figuring out how to best support students. I’m continuously learning. :)
- Hannah
Hard for me as well.
Thank you :)
Amazing
🙏🏼❤
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.
Hi Ivy, I'm really glad that you shared this. I can relate to this experience. When someone tells me I should feel something, but I don't, it can totally aggravate me too. Because how do they know what I'm feeling or should feel? I can also understand how this could make you feel gaslit. I appreciate you mentioning this so I can be more aware in my language in the future!
@@HannahUiri Hi Hannah. Thank you for taking your time to reply. I don’t mind that you are saying what you’re saying in the video, and I’m sure it’s helpful to a lot of people. it’s something for me to work on too. I appreciate that you reflected on what I said and can relate. That really means a lot. Hope you’re having a lovely day.
i’m in the 🛁
Good stuff!
Awesome
What is the best time to do this form yoga and how many time a week one should do it?
You can practice as much as you like. It is helpful to practice a minimum of an hour a week.
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.
Is it only me that cried all the time? 😭
Hi Ally, it's totally normal to experience an emotional release. I hope these videos are supportive for you and your healing!
❤
Hi, do you give trauma-informed yoga classes?
Hi, yes! I will be launching weekly Trauma Informed Yoga classes most likely in the next few weeks that can be attended live, or via replay. If you'd like to get an update when the classes go live, you can subscribe to my email list at HannahUiri.com
@@HannahUiri Done. Thank you 🌿
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
Hi, great question. Trauma Informed Yoga shares the same roots as other styles of Yoga - South India. Yoga is not a religion, but rather a philosophy that provides tools for students to experience more peace and less suffering. I hope this helps.
You need counseling and any form of exercise but clear it with your doctor. If you’re having a hard time catching your breath please seek therapy from a speech language pathologist who is trained in treating vocal cord dysfunction. You will feel better with just a few sessions
Is it normal to do this to het rid of dpdr but it worsen it the first times?
Hi Neda, trauma informed yoga can support those experiencing DPDR. However, on a case by case basis it could be triggering to focus on physical sensations. This doesn't mean it will always be triggering.
@@HannahUiri so what shall we do in case it is trigring?
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
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
