Heart Space: Releasing Stored Trauma | Trauma Informed Yoga

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.

    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 ❤

    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.

    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.

    I just found Hannah's video on KZread 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 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!

    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❤️

    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 ❤
