Thank you for sharing this. I lived in a yoga ashram for 2yrs and never did yoga - was too busy doing music and cooking stuff, and always found the classes too difficult. Trauma informed yoga was an absolute life changer, I think I stumbled on it through somatics reading. The world needs more trauma informed yoga teachers - though I guess also more demand for them. I'll do my best to spread the knowledge at least! Most haven't heard of trauma informed anything!

Thank you for this practice! I was bit emotional especially while in a womb pose..I was crying and my heart was saying beautiful things about me. ❤

Thank you! I felt a massive shift in my heart Chakra yesterday after doing this practice. It very much needed and appreciated.❤

I can't thankyou enough for how good this feels after just this first session. So glad I found this yoga. I feel relief, for the first time in a long time. I feel as though I can relax and just "be". 🙏🧘‍♀️🤍🦋

Thank you sir much for these videos! I am in menopause and the trauma informed videos are invaluable! Your voice and pace are perfect! I have noticed a big difference in my flexibility in a week!

Firstly, I started crying for absolutely no reason half way through. No reason except the fact that my body wanted me to cry.
I’ve been facing the reality that I’ve been carrying a Lot of deep trauma with me for the last 6 years. That’s resulted in anxiety and thoughts that I’m sick/dying (probably just more severe anxiety)

The last week I struggled A LOT with these thoughts. But after your video I just feel so much better and I am able to breathe normally. I’m actually inspired to incorporate these into my daily life ❤

THIS is the kind of gentle exercise I need in the morning, when my body feels stiff and I'm feeling lightly anxious about how I will feel this day.
Slow moves and absolutely able to follow.
Thanks.

[emilybarron]

this is a lovely practice. your gentle spirit is evident and really makes the way you lead the practice so lovely. i'm going through my first ever breakup and this has brought me a moment of peace - something that is hard to come by presently. so thank you!

Dear Caitlin, I love the amount of options you give. It finally makes it feel okay to listen to my body when my body doesn't want to come out of a certain pose or doesn't feel like such an intense pose. This makes yoga waaaay more relaxing for me, thank you <3

[laurafelix]

I felt exhausted and now I'm calm and relaxed and ready for bed 😌

[ruby_wonderland]

I feel so safe and secure after this session, thank you for that <3

Dear Caitlin, thank you for offering your healing yoga-practice for free on you tube. The deep Yin Energy you are in and bring me in, is so needed, and I see and believe not only for me! I am in a very heavy time of my life, with a lot of psysical and mental problems. I need medication to provide that I really loose my mind, but this yoga practice is one of the things that is REALLY a medicin, because it is healing me inside. Love, Marjelle

This was a slice of heaven Caitlin - well done

[pjm]

Thank you for this. It was much needed this evening. I find myself returning to it every time I'm feeling strain in my heart--like it's tangled up. Today I found myself involuntarily sighing during the session. releasing tension! much gratitude to you, and the guided yoga practice.

[moodia.colorwithme]

I cried like a baby! Thank you for your wonderful work! ❤

I love this video so much. I do this routine at least 3 times a week, which helps me feel grounded and open again. I have had very intense anxiety through the last 2 years, and this is just so comforting. Everything is just perfect, that room, and you give me so much peace. Thanks so much for sharing...
