I just wanted to say that your videos have completely changed my life the past few months. Nothing else has EVER worked. Total transformation, and I can’t thank you enough.
This makes me so excited to utilise Hannah’s videos and her amazing gift 🥲🩵 I had a significant anxiety flare up at the end of the 2023 / start of this year, and it has bought up some trauma and created some new fears. I’m really excited to do Hannah’s videos and feel confident that they will assist!
I just found your videos, thank you so much. As a veteran, mother, grandmother, native American Indian yoga instructor, this will really help with those that I teach as we all seem to have trauma in our lives. Especially native American women, and men. I just watched this one and will now spend the rest of the day sorting through your videos.
I have been on a deep deep healing journey for 2 years now to recover from a lot of childhood pain that I needed to push down at the time, until, unfortunatley as an adult I was physically breaking under the weight of panic, depression, anxiety, SI, SH etc. I have always been deeply drawn to yoga, especially as something greater than a physical practice, but it has never felt "right"and my body has never felt connected doing traditional yoga. I am profoundly disconnected from my body. I just did your hips: realeasing stored trauma practice, and WOW. I honestly don't even know how to describe the experience, other than eye opening and drawing me closer to an internal voice and self that I thought was long gone and buried. Thank you for these videos, I am sure they will become part of my daily routine. Abundant blessings
I'm currently becoming a trauma informed yoga teacher (and maybe therapist) because of my own trauma. Thank you so much for sharing with us and doing the work
Dear Hannah I am 48 and just crashing and burning a little, took a mental health leave to try to figure things out. Your videos are going to be a help for sure. Thank you for your desire to reach those in need of help. I had no idea of the changes in mental health practices, I kind of gave up awhile ago and never believed someone like me who couldn't sit for 5 minutes could EVER do all this. Relieved to start a believable journey.
Thanks for this, doing your videos almost everyday, dealing with dissociation (DPDR) symptoms on a daily basis. This was very helpful to hear all this stuff and to know you have recovered from trauma yourself. Hopefully I can reach that level as well one day myself! Thanks Hannah
Hi Daniel, I definitely feel like I’m still healing from CPTSD and every year it gets easier and I grow more. It’s all a part of the journey. Thanks for sharing 🤍
Hi Hannah I have been struggling with cptsd for years and have tried yoga before but always found it very triggering and had pretty much given up on the whole thing. I just came across your videos a couple of days ago and it was a completely different experience than anything I’ve ever tried before. The fact that it was ok to choose and that I was in control confused me at first and made me cry. Could it really be true that I was allowed to have a say in what was happening to me? After crying with relief to be in a safe space where nothing bad or unexpected would happen and where I had some control, I completed a whole class, and I felt like I finally found a place to feel safe and cared for. I cannot Thank you enough Hannah. I wrote my therapist today and sent him a link to your channel
a bit of the same experience for me. i put so much pressure and expectations on myself, because of my abusive mother, that i never really knew how to make choices that FELT good, especially taking care of myself. there was pressure with everything i did. hannah’s voice is calming and soothing and loving. unlike my moms verbal abuse. i didn’t know how to be with myself and my terrifying feelings. they were always invalidated. so whatever works for us in this video is what it’s about. this week i just listened to it because i was feeling paralyzed both mentally and physically. tried stretching a bit on the couch as i lay there. just letting the traumatized thoughts pass by… because they are just thoughts.
First time I heard about yoga that was focused on trauma recovery was in therapy. But I haven't been able to find too many classes in my area, so your videos have been a lot of help. They do wonders in getting me out of my own head and helping me become more grounded and present. Tysm queen, I've learned so much!
You are just so lovely! I have been teaching for 13 years and have been drawn to trauma and the mind for a while. I am planning to start yoga therapy training this year and now have the opportunity to teach in a women's treatment facility and diving into self study for now I found you. I am in love with your style and am learning so much. Thank you for sharing your light with others🌈🌞🙏
Dear Hannah, I just happened upon your videos while looking for something else. I have CPTSD and also PTSD and I am really looking forward to trying trauma informed yoga. Had never heard of it. You seem so sane and smart and grounded. I look forward to trying more of your videos. ❤
I just stumbled across your Channel and did the hip opener class. It was fantastic. My hips are so tight and lower back and thighs etc etc my go-to has always been Yin Yoga but this is better in that I did have choice to move more to however I wanted and whatever felt better. I have never heard of trauma-informed yoga before but I love it. Thank you❤
This was so informative and interesting. I really like yin yoga, but this could be what I also have been looking for. Subscribed, and will be checking out more of your content🌱😊
Thank for your research and sharing your TIY experience. As a survivor, therapist and ryt 200, it all makes sence. LOVE your language. Thank you! Namaste 🙏🏻 Om Shanti 💙
Hey Hannah. Im experimenting with being completely free to do whatever feels right during a class. It's SO nice hearing that. However, a challenge has come up: When i'm staying longer or doing other poses and you're moving on to new chapters and options, it can feel like i'm loosing connection when what you're saying doesnt apply anymore and is completely different from what im doing. Almost like im not in the class anymore. Too far off. It's somehow important to feel you're talking to me, and to follow to some extent, even following "not to follow". Still on the same page. Experiencing a safe space, being guided, free but still supported and "held". Coming back each chapter can help maintaining the connection, but my body might feel like doing something else or i might be in the middle of some processing, and then it can feel interrupting when you're moving on to new "chapters". Or i've been on my own for a while and in the middle of some deep stuff, and hearing you talking about something else can feel uncomfortable like disconnection and abandonment. I still feel the need to check in what's going on, to stay on the course, see if it applies or not, but even this can interrupt. So a conflict arises in following my process or staying connected. Both are important. Being free to make my own choices is healing, but being disconnected from the class also affects the sense of security and support. I know i can do my thing for as long as i want/need and just come back when it's time while still being connected, or just follow more if i want. Still not easy. Maybe not rely too much in the outer support, maybe it's about expectations, maybe don't go too deep into trauma, it's still just a yoga class, over internet.. idk.. you have any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks for your classes and radience.
Whenever I want to stay in a pose longer I'll just move the video back so that it's still playing and I don't feel like I'm "behind" at all. Hope that helps! 😊
Yes, I struggle with not wanting to "miss" what comes next. I just pause the video and breathe deeply until I am ready to move along. To me--this is honoring my self and my body.
I found your videos a few weeks ago and I finally started watching your video. I've had a traumatic childhood and I find myself shutting down every time my body feels there's a threat. Can you suggest where to start?
Hello Haana, im from Peru, i just found your channel, i have been dealing for 4 years contractures and other symptons of disorder of anxiety also take antidepresant and clonazepam, i will try to find healing :)
Hi Hannah, I am writing a paper on Trauma-informed yoga for graduate school and doing some preliminary research. Thank you for citing two of the academic papers in your video. I was wondering if you would be available to talk about your knowledge, where you received your training, and how these methods were developed. Thanks!
Hello! I found your channel through a post on a forum I belong to (Yin Yoga Network on FaceBook). I am so thrilled I found you. Great content! My questions are, where did you get certified as a TIY teacher? Do you recommend in person over online (I live in Connecticut, in the US). For the right experience I am willing to travel depending on the time commitment. I became a certified yoga teacher in 2020 and I would love this type of yoga to be my primary focus. Do you have any plans to do any YTT? Thank you!
I am addicted to the feeling of tightening up or curling up on the couch and playing video games for hours. Along with the feeling of contraction I also get a kind of drug like painkiller effect. It feels like I have a steady stream of opiates or something similar and its very pleasant but destructive to my life otherwise. After doing this for a long time my face and body are very hard and painful when I move and I feel very lethargic. What do you recommend to break this cycle?
Hello Hannah! I am trying to access your longer practices from Germany, but the link above does not work. I remember you used to run an online subscription based platform with longer practices, but I cannot find it now. Does it still exist? Thank you for the good work, you are helping immensely.
Hii...can you please make a video of trauma informed yoga for neck stiffness...when ever I have acidity my neck becomes tight and it is generally stiff...and with eye movements also I notice a pain in neck ....please help with this
Hi Nila, you might enjoy some of the classes in my playlists: Soothe Your Shoulders, and Seeking Safety. Both of those series incorporate a lot of neck stretches.

I’ve been doing the sessions before bed, mainly for my extremely tight hips that I’ve had for over 2 years now. Keep up this wonderful content

This is amazing!!!! Thank you!
thank you thank you thank you so very much! ❤
How long has she been doing yoga? She is very good at it.
Thank you for the knowledge 🥰
I like this approach. More like old skool Hatha, before it landed in the gyms. Interesting tattoo on your left inner forearm.
Hi Hannah. Thank you so much for your content. I also wanted to ask what kind of therapy you’ve engaged in for your cptsd? Anything somatic?
Thanks Hannah great video! Was wondering can you build interoception from normal yoga classes?
Thanks for the information
She's beautiful.
Thank you for doing this type of yoga.
Thank you ❤
Thank you 💖✨🙏

Does it help with scholiosis ?
I don't know about yoga but APPI pilates from a physio perspective can :)
Yoga can be very helpful for supporting scoliosis!
