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
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!
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 🥰
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
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 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
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
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! ❤️
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)
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.
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.
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. 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
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.❤️
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 🧡
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
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.
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 💖🙏🏿
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
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’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 ❤
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.
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. 🙏❤
“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!
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. 🙏
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 🙏 ❤️
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’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 .
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.
I recently found your channel and I'm so thankful I did. I have been struggling so much lately, your videos are one thing that have helped and have kept me hopeful. Thank you thank 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. (:
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...
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.
I just couldn't believe I really let go and I feel a lot lighter. From my hips to my head. I did cry. I came here hoping that I'd cry to release this time since I've been doing the pigeon pose daily for 20 minutes due to tightness in my hips. Thank you for providing the space for that and I loved how you lead us to get out of the pose so it's not as painful
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❤
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’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”
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 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!
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
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 🙏🤍🥰
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.
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
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 RUclips. 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!!!
💌 This came up totally as a surprise. I am deeply grateful for this entire practise. Moving past the mental barrier on pigeon pose was extremely challenging but I stuck with it. My hips needed to stretch as deeply as they did. YOU CAN DO IT TOO! Don’t let your mind tell you that you can’t because YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN!✨ Hannah, I wish my words could convey my appreciation. With all my heart.❤THANK YOU.💕THANK YOU.💕THANK YOU. 💕 May magic✨continue to unfold for you and may you notice the miraculous✨synchronicities✨that nature reveals to you. To you. To you. To you. 💕 Namaste 👁️ ✨👁️ ❤⚡️❤ XOXO 💌 13 days later I am back after a lovely reminder from a like on my comment. This was remarkably easier than the first time. It seems as though it will be easier and easier from here on. Although I am not quite sure exactly what the emotional root cause is of the trauma at this point, I am absolutely certain that I am healing from it. It feels as though I am consciously releasing it (whatever it is) as I melt into the pose. Truly grateful✨🙏🏽✨ for this video and this gentle way of teaching. T H A N K Y O U!💕✨ I am certain that I will return when timing is right for it. Namaste ✨👁️ ✨ XOXO 💌
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!
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!
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.
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 🙏
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.
first practice of yours ive completed, you got a new subscriber here. 30 mins flew by even with pausing the video when i needed more time. first practice but definitely not the last
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 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
You have a soothing voice which is very helpful in your guidance of these poses. I do have one suggestion, it’s difficult to distinguish between the black mat and your black yoga pants, your legs get lost in the lack of contrast. Either have a different color mat or yoga pants. Much gratitude🙏
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 ❤❤
Thank you Hannah. I’ve never cried while doing yoga before. This was a truly positive experience and I was actually upset once I heard you say this session was coming to an end. I will be watching more videos of yours.
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.
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. 🙏🫶🙌✨️
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.
this is beautiful and so helpful, thank you. i feel so calm and centered. your voice is soothing and your approach is incredibly inviting and calming. thank you again 💞
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.
Fabulous video. I didn’t experience an emotional release this time but found it to be so therapeutic and I was breathing! I realized recently that my breath is shallow and sometimes I’m so tense or stressed I think I may be holding it at times. On my way to her page to subscribe. Thank you for this 🙏🏼
I was hesitant to start the session but once I did i released why. My hips felt so tense and while taking my breaths, I felt so many knots all over. I felt a rush of anger, and pain and I wanted to cry. I feel lighter after but I know that I need to continue with this practice and explore more of where this tension comes from.
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 for this. I experienced a profound release after the session. Towards the end of the video I noticed my legs shaking quite dramatically, once it finished I lay on my back and just let my body move. What followed enabled me to get in touch with a traumatic memory and move through it to fight and then rest.
Thank you very much - great session❣ I noticed that by taking the time to really feel and explore the tension in my hips the pain and strain there started to feel almost pleasurable. By giving up all goals of "stretching" and "achieving s.th." I started to feel pleasure and the begining of a beautiful energetic flow. 🥰 Just one suggestion: Perhaps the possibility to do the reclined pigeon pose should be offered for people who have trouble with the forward pigeon because of knee problems. 💕
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!!
I really want to thank you for your Videos. I am into Yoga for quite a while, but the somatic Yoga is such a wonderful add-on. It really calms me and feels so releasing instead of Building up strength. Thank you for your warm and Open hearted way of guiding. Love from Germany!
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!

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

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🩷🩷

From one stranger to another, Sending you some love ❤, You’re so so strong

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

Thanks, Susan! 🙏

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 🙏 ❤️
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.
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. 🤍🤍
Thank you so much for putting out this resource for free where everyone can access it. It has helped me so much x
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 .
You immediately emanate such a warm, deeply grounding presence. Thank you for this video!
This was amazing! The low lunge made me cry. Thank you so much.
I'm glad this class served you well. 🙏
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.
I recently found your channel and I'm so thankful I did. I have been struggling so much lately, your videos are one thing that have helped and have kept me hopeful. Thank you thank you.
I'm so glad you're feeling supported by these videos! Thank you for supporting me in return 🙏
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. (:
Thank you. I hope those who need this, find this. I found your process, delivery, engagement powerful and necessary in these times.
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...
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. 🌻
I just couldn't believe I really let go and I feel a lot lighter. From my hips to my head. I did cry. I came here hoping that I'd cry to release this time since I've been doing the pigeon pose daily for 20 minutes due to tightness in my hips. Thank you for providing the space for that and I loved how you lead us to get out of the pose so it's not as painful
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❤
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.
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 💜
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 🙏
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.
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. 🤎
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!
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
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🖤
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'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.
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
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 RUclips. 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 came up totally as a surprise. I am deeply grateful for this entire practise. Moving past the mental barrier on pigeon pose was extremely challenging but I stuck with it. My hips needed to stretch as deeply as they did.
YOU CAN DO IT TOO! Don’t let your mind tell you that you can’t because YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN!✨
Hannah, I wish my words could convey my appreciation. With all my heart.❤THANK YOU.💕THANK YOU.💕THANK YOU. 💕
May magic✨continue to unfold for you and may you notice the miraculous✨synchronicities✨that nature reveals to you. To you. To you. To you. 💕
Namaste 👁️ ✨👁️

13 days later I am back after a lovely reminder from a like on my comment. This was remarkably easier than the first time. It seems as though it will be easier and easier from here on. Although I am not quite sure exactly what the emotional root cause is of the trauma at this point, I am absolutely certain that I am healing from it. It feels as though I am consciously releasing it (whatever it is) as I melt into the pose. Truly grateful✨🙏🏽✨ for this video and this gentle way of teaching.
T H A N K
Y O U!💕✨
I am certain that I will return when timing is right for it.
Namaste ✨👁️ ✨
XOXO
💌
I’m back for round 3. So glad to be releasing more. I hope you are feeling encouraged to continue too. Namaste 🙏🏽⚡️🙏🏽
XOXO

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! 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!
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!
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.
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.
the moment you said what do you need now towards the end of the practice I started sobbing… thank you for this practice❤️🙏
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!
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. :)
first practice of yours ive completed, you got a new subscriber here. 30 mins flew by even with pausing the video when i needed more time. first practice but definitely not the last
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 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
It really helped me with pre period pain that sort of got stuck in my hips and back, thank you so much! :)
I can’t believe this video was 30 minutes. It felt like 5 🙏🏼 your voice is so soothing
You have a soothing voice which is very helpful in your guidance of these poses. I do have one suggestion, it’s difficult to distinguish between the black mat and your black yoga pants, your legs get lost in the lack of contrast. Either have a different color mat or yoga pants. Much gratitude🙏
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 ❤❤
Doing your yoga makes me feel worthy like what I feel does matter thank you
Thank you Hannah. I’ve never cried while doing yoga before. This was a truly positive experience and I was actually upset once I heard you say this session was coming to an end. I will be watching more videos of yours.
Hi Caelie, it sounds like you had a positive emotional release! I'm glad this class supported you in that moment.
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.
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. 🙏🫶🙌✨️
This was so healing. I am so happy & grateful I did this. ❤Thank you so much
Thank you so much for this. I can actually move around now without insane pain.
That's great, Tracy!
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.
It is my hope that you feel safe, connected and at home in your body 💚🙏 Beautiful! Thank you Hannah for this sensitive Yoga class!
this is beautiful and so helpful, thank you. i feel so calm and centered. your voice is soothing and your approach is incredibly inviting and calming. thank you again 💞
Thank you for facilitating a safe space to release strong emotions with your calming and non demanding way a speaking. 🙏🏼🥰
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.
Fabulous video. I didn’t experience an emotional release this time but found it to be so therapeutic and I was breathing! I realized recently that my breath is shallow and sometimes I’m so tense or stressed I think I may be holding it at times. On my way to her page to subscribe. Thank you for this 🙏🏼
I was hesitant to start the session but once I did i released why. My hips felt so tense and while taking my breaths, I felt so many knots all over. I felt a rush of anger, and pain and I wanted to cry. I feel lighter after but I know that I need to continue with this practice and explore more of where this tension comes from.
Yes this is exactly how I felt. I’m planning to do it twice a week
I feel so relaxed and present, never done yoga before but this was really good
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 for this. I experienced a profound release after the session. Towards the end of the video I noticed my legs shaking quite dramatically, once it finished I lay on my back and just let my body move. What followed enabled me to get in touch with a traumatic memory and move through it to fight and then rest.
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
oh god. thank you. I was asking the universe how to relax. then I found you. i am lucky
Thank you very much - great session❣ I noticed that by taking the time to really feel and explore the tension in my hips the pain and strain there started to feel almost pleasurable. By giving up all goals of "stretching" and "achieving s.th." I started to feel pleasure and the begining of a beautiful energetic flow. 🥰 Just one suggestion: Perhaps the possibility to do the reclined pigeon pose should be offered for people who have trouble with the forward pigeon because of knee problems. 💕
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!!
I really want to thank you for your Videos. I am into Yoga for quite a while, but the somatic Yoga is such a wonderful add-on. It really calms me and feels so releasing instead of Building up strength. Thank you for your warm and Open hearted way of guiding. Love from Germany!
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
This was so nourishing and the time flew by, thank you.
Wow, I had a massive realization during that right hip pigeon sequence. Thank you so much; this was amazing. 💙💚
