Today's guest is: Hannah Lee, LSW, CYT
Hannah Lee, LSW, is a therapist and yoga instructor at Room To Breathe Psychotherapy and Yoga in Chicago, IL. A social worker by training, Hannah worked on social issues such as housing, incarceration, and access to higher education before joining Room To Breathe. There she provides individual and group therapy, focusing primarily on trauma healing; perinatal mental health; parenting/caregiving; identity exploration for people of color; and neurodiversity. She is a graduate of RTB’s psychologically sensitive yoga teacher training and teaches a weekly online class.
In both yoga and therapy, Hannah and Room To Breathe emphasize accessibility, autonomy, and the importance of participants building an internal sense of safety. By prioritizing “function over form,” participants have the space to explore the sensation of postures and experiences without the pressure of achieving a particular form or outcome. Practicing these values in the yoga and therapy spaces changes the power dynamic in the room and can be a tool for healing for folks that have had their choice taken away from them. Hannah and Room To Breathe know that these are practices that benefit everyone, not just those that identify with a trauma history, and hope that both participants and practitioners can learn how psychologically sensitive care can benefit everyone.
