I love that your dog regularly looks at me to check if I’m still doing the exercises

I enjoy the fact you let me stay in a stretch for ample amount of time instead of switching it up so fast. It’s frustrating when I’m following a video and just get into the pose and it’s already on to something else. Thank you for allowing my body to feel each pose sufficiently.

I love how you get right into the exercise. Others talk too much

I love this but I do have to make people aware how powerful this is. I've been on a healing journey from past trauma for years and got into yoga again due to this channel. I tend to suppress my emotions because I'm used to being in an environment where I'm only safe when I do that. When doing this yoga, I never cried. But after a whole month of doing it at least 3 times a week, I'm suddenly finding to correlation between this yoga and the amount of times I took time to cry. One of the things my therapist suggested me to do is to practice sitting down with negative emotions because I have an instict not to do it. And I dont look forward to it most of the time. But this month its been easier to cry since doing this yoga. Highly recommended but do with caution. Make sure you're in a safe comfortable environment to fully feel the effects of this yoga

Thank you so much for not talking so much. It was just the right amount of talking that was super relaxing and straight to the point . ❤

I’ve done yoga for years and many of these poses too many times to count. I don’t know what magic you have but I sobbed and felt a bit of my inner child’s trauma chipping away. Thank you ❤

I did this for quite a bit yesterday night. It's been heavy for me. way too heavy. and when I did this, no tears came out. I felt like crying, but I had no tears. I still felt numb. even though in me, is an ocean of sadness, anxiety and alot of words. yet I could not tear up.

today, after a therapy session, I just felt like bursting out in tears. I just want to say, it's okay if you dont cry or express anything whilst doing it. But, make sure you are ready and open to these big feelings afterwards. Make space for it.

cry your eyes out if need be. just cry. just cry. theres no weakness in crying. thats how your body releases and feels better. theres no limit to crying. Life has been tough on you, be your support.

For people reading this review, it's okay, it's normal to feel lonely sometimes, if you're going through tough times, keep trying, but never give up, I wish you great success in your health, love, and happiness!

this was quite literally one of the best stretching videos i have done. simple yet effective and i love all of the silence and calmness in voice. yes!

[simplepsychology]

I’ve tried many trauma informed yoga videos they were too long or the instructor was talking too much and giving me anxiety, your video is very calming and 20 min felt like 3 minutes thank you so much

I started crying really hard when we did the double sided hip stretch … and I can’t stop now … there’s so much coming up right now … I feel a bit overwhelmed

I love that more people are inviting their beloved furry companions to join them in their yoga practice. My cat loves to weave around me as I flow through my poses. Thank you so much for this wonderful practice Caitlin! Xox

I have heard of people crying while doing hip openers but in my years of yoga ( 20ish years off and on) I have never cried. That changed today. I did this class and the sequence with frog pose just did something.

I absolutely love this video. I’ve been doing this somatic yoga for 6 days sometimes multiple times a day. I started because of the trauma I wanted to release and then I hurt my back and this yoga literally took all the pain away every time I would do it so that’s why I did it multiple times a day. Well this evening my back and hip was hurting so bad I started the yoga and I finally got the emotional release I’ve been waiting for. I cried uncontrollably for a time paused the video so I won’t miss any of the positions and just felt the pain and trauma leaving my body. Even the spot in my hip seemed to immediately lose the pain I’ve had all day. I will continue to follow your YouTube channel and look forward to more emotional releases. I’m working on healing so I can be a better me. Thank you for posting your video.

I love how ur doggy sleeps on the matt sometimes and u gently rest ur foot on him, so sweet 😂❤❤❤❤

[vaishnavisharmathutupally]

20 minutes felt like 2 minutes. My whole lower body was shivering for the first time. Thank you that felt amazing

I finished pelvic radiation therapy at the end of 2023. I have developed a painful stiffness in my hips from the radiation (confirmed by my medical team). My oncologist offered drugs, I told them that would be my last resort. I have never done yoga, but I was able to follow your video all the way through, making adjustments when the stretches were too painful. By the end of the video, I began to feel a bit better. I look forward to making your video part of my healing journey. Thank you so much ❤

so much for not talking the whole time! Or over explaining to us like we're slow, or rushing through like so many other instructors! The calm voice and pauses in between help so much! This was a deeply emotional yoga session for me, your dog was everything !

[siobhanwilliams]

I’m a total yoga beginner, I loved this, I shook so much throughout. I have PTSD so hoping that starting a yoga journey will help, this was my first day and first video. I loved it. Thank you x
