Heart Space: Releasing Stored Trauma | Trauma Informed Yoga
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2022
- In this class we're releasing stored trauma from the heart space. You're invited to explore shapes that open the front and back of the heart while noticing sensations and emotions that might come up. This practice is all about feeling our emotions, and letting them be heard rather than fixed or avoided.

My name is Amanda. My first session in yoga like this. I don’t cry & I did. What an experience. Thank God for putting me on this page.
I have not started the exercises yet but I loved hearing you say: "I am not an authority figure". So many therapists do so much harm to patients by placing themselves as authority figures and engaging in victim blaming or simply forcing incorrect methodologies on them!
This is the third trauma informed yoga I did from your channel. I had never done these before and every time I feel so at ease afterwards. Thank you for moving me kindly through my body. I always feel like a failure when I do yoga and I can't hold a pose so the safe space you create in your teaching and in our journey is so meaningful. Today I got to start the day with gratitude, even when I felt so disconnected yesterday. Thank you ❤
I am grateful you felt at ease and was able to make the practice your own. 💛
Thank you intense great experience ! Namaste !🙏🏼🌷♥️
1:35 thank you for openness and vulnerability for sharing what you’re going through and what you experience during yoga! It’s very normal for our human mind to compare ourselves to others in yoga because “they know how to do it better”! We don’t even know how long the person next to us on their mat has been doing yoga!! They might be a yoga teacher for 15 years but our minds job is to think whatever it wants whether it makes sense or not, and whether or not it hurts us! Our mind doesn’t have the ability to know that it’s hurting us because all it can concern itself with is itself!!! You are doing yoga if you show up to class and lie on mat for the entire class!! Yoga is what you need in any given moment! And it’s on and off of your mat, not just the movement you do on your mat. Yoga is mind, body, and soul healing and connecting! Yoga is the vehicle that brings us home to ourselves!! It’s amazing and true!! This is what I have learned in the 7 years I’ve been doing yoga, and in the 200 hour certification YTT I just completed this month!! Just keep going in your practice. We are not perfect in any part of life and yoga is no exception!! Yoga doesn’t even have anything to do with perfection, perfection doesn’t exist. It’s your practice to help you in all ways that you need healing, and the same goes for every other individual….I suggest that every morning (or evening if you’re a night shifter like I am) take a few slow cooker deep breaths in through your nose and exhale fully out your mouth, and then thank yourself for remembering to care for yourself first thing! Then say “I am Love, I am compassion, I am enough, and I trust that the Universe will show me my purpose!! Keep it up!! Maybe a therapist could help you to work through what it is inside of you that triggers that feeling of being a failure? Maybe you’re way ahead of me on what I’ve suggested, but since I don’t know your tools I felt the call to put that out there to you!! I am so happy for you that you’re getting what you need from this class! Enjoy your journey ❤🎉🎉🎉❤
I love the instructor at my gym, she reminds us that it's ok if you don't go at the same pace and how it was a Judgement free zone. Understanding what muscles you're stretching in a pose helps, so you can alternate when you feel pain.
Thank you for this ❤
My therapist recommended doing some trauma informed yoga but I couldn't make any of the sessions. So I tried it out here. This was the first releasing stored trauma one I've done. And this made such a difference. I had to take several breaks because I was scared of moving forward. I cried several times and at the end when you said you see how much courage it took, it meant a lot to me. Thank-you for posting these videos.
You are courageous, Heidi 💖
I'm both a psychologist and a yoga teacher, and I definitely recommend yoga to my clients!
I indeed felt a sense of security throughout this practice. Your statement "I am not an authority figure" hit my core. Then, I realized I have had issues with authority figures throughout my life. This practice opened a new door for me to explore. Thank you for doing this and sharing it with the world. Love and light.
Same I felt safe
😂 yes
I have dealt with narcistic foster parents but am finally healing after years this was intens but needed thank you!
I realised one thing. I think I have read somewhere in your channel that you are a trauma survivor as well. Many of the abusers and murderers in this world have become that way because of the trauma and abuse stored within them. They couldn't fight it and unfortunately took up unhealthy measures to release their trauma by giving others trauma and pain as well. But people like you, are so strong, even us, that we are taking steps to turn this into one of our powers and heal others out of their own trauma. One single decision- whether to accept the trauma and correct it or take up unhealthy ways to release it- that single decision can change thousands of lives in two completely drastic ways - either heal them or destroy them. Let's appreciate all of us for being strong! Sending love!
I've always heard of people crying while doing hip opening yoga, and it's never happened for me, despite my tight hips. This video though, I just bawled all through the thread the needle and my jaw shook one I rolled onto my back. Absolutely profound. I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this.
Wow, thank you for sharing this, Shelly. What a profound experience. 💛
I haven’t even started the video. I’m listening to your intro. I’m crying already, your compassion is evident.
I just found Hannah's video on UA-cam this morning. Not more than 10 minutes ago. I sat in my chair weeping...tears continue to come. I became instantly aware of how much I'm holding inside... so much so that I rarely breathe deeply. Unconsciously bracing 'against'. Living in a state of hyper-vigilance.
I hear you….the same happened to me❤
Totally agreed
I've done this several times and every time I feel calmer and more peaceful afterwards than I've done in years. Thank you so much!
Omg, I started this video with a very skeptical attitude and ended up sobbing afterward for a while. My first husband died when i was 22, and our daughter was 1. This practice triggered years of buried emotions. Thank you so much for this. So kind of you to share your knowledge with everyone ❤
Dear Hannah A heartfelt thank you for the amazing work that you do…it helps us who have trauma on our healing journey.. I grew up with a narcissist mother and married a narcissist husband for 34 years.. I am now separated and trying to heal myself so I can live my best life and be a wholesome human being…today I cried throughout the session and at the end of the session felt so much release of painful emotions.. the sessions are really effective and I’m doing one every day…thank you and may God bless you..LoveLightAnd Prayers to everyone who are on their healing journey❤️
May your healing journey be filled with tender courage. 🤍
Hanna I'm on verge of crying , I yawned like 10times indicating I'm releasing the suppressed emotions , thank you so much for this video ! I really appreciate and am grateful!
Subscribed💗🥰
I just did this for my Sunday morning practice and I’m smiling ear to ear. I have a tethered spinal cord issue and Ehlers Danlos, facing back surgery and doing physical therapy 5x weekly and it’s grueling sometimes. This was just… calm. Peaceful. Motivating in a quiet way… just perfect. Thank you so much for this video!
For the past two months I kept feeling the emotional trauma i was going through in my body. But couldnt quite explain it to people so I thought I was delusional. Yesterday your video popped up on my home page and I felt sooo validated , it was heart harming to see what I was feeling DOES actually exist.
I’m not a fan of talking yoga videos or ones that are longer than 15 min. But I must say your voice was so gentle and comforting, I genuinely appreciate everything you had to say. It’s felt like a warm hug. I also loved that it was long so I could take my time and feel out everything.
Overall I’m beyond happy I came across your video. This is my first session and definitely won’t be my last . Keep up the amazing work ❤
Thank you so much for having these online... It's pure jewel ❤

Thank you. I needed to hear your message that it is ok to feel and to not need to find out why or how to change it.
I enjoyed it deeply. Thank you for the tenderness💗

Hannah! Thank you. I am also a trauma-informed healing practitioner and found this to be so so so soothing and regulating for my nervous system. I'm so grateful for you.
Thanks cait!
Thank you. I got in touch with my heart and cried. Felt really good.
This was a tearjerker
What a lovely session, thank you so much❤️
Hello, thank you so much for this!!
Many times, I was told I need grounding, but nothing really worked for me! Even if I meditated for almost an hour, I’d still be ungrounded!
Last year, I got a “root chakra” reading and was suggested yoga to help, but I didn’t do it because I thought yoga was for flexible people.
A couple months ago, i learned that trauma is stored in the body and I later learned about somatic therapy. it helped a little, but I was never consistent with it, I’m usually not consistent with a lot of things 😅
Well, it’s been a year since I’ve had that root chakra reading and I decided to look back at it yesterday and I thought, “huh, you know what, I’ll see if they have yoga for trauma releasing on UA-cam and just roll with it,” and I found this video!
I had to pause during the 3rd activity (the blocks one) because I started crying! After, I got to the cobra pose, and I’ve always been very sensitive about my wrists, idk why I always feel they’re so vulnerable to me, and the cobra pose was uncomfortable for me because of how the wrists were just open on the floor like that and then pressure being felt from lifting my head, I cried even more and wanted to kiss my wrists as if they were a newborn baby lol
So much crying and wanting to cradle my hands 🥺💝
I didn’t finish the exercise because I wanted to comment about this 😆 and it was really releasing for me in a healthy way!!
Also, in the 1st part, where we tipped our head to our right, I felt lots of anger there, but peace when I tipped to the left side, sooooooo fascinating!
I guess there is anger stored in the right side of my head area which is interesting because right brain rules creativity and I felt like a lot of my creative spark was loss because of me allowing my dad’s negativity get to me.
This was remarkable for me, thank you for all the healing, I feel sooooooo much better and I’ll continue the yoga now 😂 Thank you!! You are Heaven sent ! 🙏🥰🌞✨💖 Wishing you a good year ✨✨✨✨✨💖
Thanks!
I've practiced yoga on and off since i was about 18; I'm 26 now. I've never experienced an emotional release before during a class. This was my first! Thank you for creating a safe space that allowed that to come through for me. I woke up this morning feeling an overall lightness in my heart that i hadn't felt in a long time.
This was a lovely gentle restorative practice. Thank you.
This was incredible, thank you!❤
This class was incredible !
yoga is one of the only times i feel present throughout my day, i thank you for making these and i hope you’re having a good day 💕
This is the most good yoga ever! Thank u Hannah
Such a state of bliss after this class. I am feeling so relaxed, I cannot thank you enough. I have just discovered your channel but I will definitely do more classes from you.
Today is my exam and I was feeling tight and weak in my chest . Normally, I used to spend my time on my phone to relax and distract but as I have started doing T.I.Y i realised and felt doing it much more welcoming and relaxing to do now .
Though I am not prepared well and somewhere I feel sad even though I know I was not mentally healthy but still doing as good as possible that I can do for my career and health.
Thank you sis for your sessions.
❤❤from India.
We appreciate you 💕
Thank you so much Hannah this was my second yoga session with you. I appreciate you so much ❤
That was intense! I must have emotion buried deep in my gut, because this area was triggered. Thank you for these videos!
I have been through a lot and this is helping release some of the trauma and pain I have been feeling.
Wow. This was just amazing. So beautiful
Hi Hannah, thank you so much for this. I've never done trauma-informed yoga before, this was a wonderful introduction - so transformative how you encourage agency 💛💛
I did not realize how much I would enjoy the choice aspect of trauma informed yoga, thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for this great exercise ❤❤❤❤
Hannah, I can't thank you enough for this! I released somethings I had been holding onto for the past few years and it felt great.
Thank you Hannah for this. I was feeling anxious and kept having nightmares which left me feeling exhausted for the day. I found your channel and thought it wouldn't hurt to try even if I wasn't expecting much.
It's the third day of doing yoga before sleep and my nightmares are gone❤
Can't thank you enough for this.
Anon, thanks for sharing this. I’m really glad to hear that you’re sleeping better. 🤍
the most beautiful yoga ive ever done
I'm really thankful
Thank you so much this session is truly unique ❤️❤️❤️
These are really awesome! Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you lovely lady ❤
I’m jazzed for this class as I had open heart surgery when I was 7. I’ve been releasing the trauma that I was unaware of in the past couple of years.❤️❤️
Thank you so very much, Hannah. I felt deep releases in a safe environment. I am so grateful to have found your work. Celebrating you. ❤
"...without trying to change it, without trying to fix it..." THANK YOU SO MUCH for this statement!
I feel so loved and accepted throughout the whole video ❤❤❤ Thanks for your love and compassion ❤ it is a gift to be receiving this 💞😊
This was very beautiful and helpful. Thank you 🙏.
I have honestly never felt so much release around my heartcenter. I'm so grateful that I found you and thank you so much for sharing this knowledge ❤
Hanna, I thank you truly for your kindness and compassion to upload this video. It's so helpful. I'm experiencing painful shoulders for some years now which I think it's a results of the suppressed trauma...doing this made me so emotional as I felt a sence of relief on my shoulders. I will continue with this exercise as I believe that with constant practice I can overcome this. Stay Blessed.❤ 💐 🙏
It’s amazing you are amazing 😍😍😍 Thank you so much
Thank you Hannah for this graceful yoga session ❤ I feel so easy and tender, and grounded and powerful! Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤

That was beautiful, thankyou ❤
Thank you so much❤
Third movement and i was in tears. it's so necessary to have simple and loving practices to heal trough the body... we store so much pain and discomfort all the time and don't even know it. Thank you so much, Hannah ❤
Thank you 🕊

Thank you this was very helpful.
Wow Hannah! Never knew about trauma informed yoga and I must say this was a beautiful experience. I’ve been through a lot and didn’t even know which emotions I was releasing, but it felt so good.
Thank you for the experience and safe space. Blessings to you! ❤
This was beautiful! I had a moment of clarity and truth in something I'm dealing with it at the moment and this was so helpful. Thank you!
You're way of teaching/speaking is so incredibly comforting and hepful in allowing me to feel safe to move how MY body wants to. Thank you.
Thank you Universe for leading me here 🙏🏻
