Hi, I’m Hannah Uiri

I support survivors of trauma feel at home in their body through trauma informed yoga, mentorship, and earth connection.

As a survivor of trauma myself, I am well acquainted with what it means to find home again in your body. I say “again,” because we were not born disconnected from ourselves. Trauma is what separates us from ourselves and from others.

Trauma lives in the body, even though it’s often thought to be a “mental” issue. The way to find lasting relief and healing, is through the body. I have found, and continue to find, wholeness through somatic awareness and mind-body connection.

Yoga is more than physical movement. It’s a philosophy that fosters connection to your true self so you can experience more peace and less suffering. When we move beyond seeing Yoga as a workout, this ancient practice becomes an embodied experience that creates connection and healing within the truest parts of ourselves.

How I came to Yoga: I began practicing Yoga while in recovery from a car accident. I continued practicing because I saw a glimpse inside of myself that drew me to explore yoga as a way to discover deep healing and wholeness. Yoga gave me a way to reclaim my body from panic attacks, depression and PTSD.

My teaching style is rooted in the knowing that you are whole, even as you are healing, and the firsthand knowledge of the need for gentle nourishment that honors your body’s inherent wisdom. I teach slowly, with attention to inner reflection and a deep trust that you know exactly what will serve your body best.

I am an experienced 500-hour certified Trauma Informed Yoga teacher, mentor, and educator that finds no greater joy than seeing students reconnect with their whole being. There are many paths to healing, and I invite you to explore if trauma informed yoga is a supportive path for you.

Extra Tidbits:

When I’m not teaching yoga, you can find me studying herbs, tending to my garden, soaking up sun rays, reading, or dancing in my kitchen with my husband and son.
