This is great, Jon. I’m going to pass it along to my husband – who hates exercise and is not flexible!
Thanks for your support, Terri. You are awesome! -Monica, GM Team
Really glad I found you.I am not sure if you are referring to developmental trauma or complex post traumatic stress disorder when you refer to trauma? I have complex post traumatic stress disorder and have been in 12 step recovery for process addictions (I don’t qualify for overeating or food). 90% of addiction is what sits on top of trauma, over eating and sugar additions medicates the pain of untreated trauma.
Peter Levine, a Professor from Berkley focuses on body trauma and somatic therapy, it is called “Waking the Tiger”… sounds like you are saying people who gain wait go into the “freeze” stress response which is a deeper fear when the impala plays dead in front of the approaching cheetah and we need to shift into a “tiger” response which is a higher order stress response.
Trauma related disabilities not only applies overeating, it applies to “difficulty with underearning, debt, other people, yourself, love, gambling, sex and even the creative process.” ..all of which can be process additions.

I use a really wide definition for trauma, but yes it’s anything that puts us in that freeze state. Exactly!
Very interesting Jon,
Inflammation, stiffness, insulin resistance – all an issue. I have suffered with joint and back pain since a young teen all without clear diagnosis or cure. I’ve just lived with it, using swimming as my only do-able non-impact exercise. Sadly I cannot swim at the moment due to breathing issues and my condition is worsening. Some days I can hardly walk nevermind do yoga, so I am keen to learn more about how to reduce inflammation, pain and stiffness and increase flexibility. Where else can I find more info about this on the site? Many thanks x
Check out the expert interviews on the site, especially Julie Daniluk. We are always talking about how to reduce inflammation. Coach Brian talks about it a lot on his blogs too.
What a great work out! One suggestion I have that also helps address the stiffness and pain in the body is John F Barnes Myofascial Release and unwinding. Its based on the concept that our bodies and subconscious mind know how to heal itself. I have found it to be very similar to cellular release therapy but it also incorporates the physical healing component. There is quite a good center in Perth which has a good website. http://www.perthmyofascialrelease.com.au/
Thanks very much, John. Now I have to try and sell this to my husband who wont try to fit in any exercising due to time constraints (still full time work!). It certainly looks doable. I Gym 1hr 3 times per week where the instructor varies the focus each time. For a 69yo I am in great shape thanks to the Gabriel Method and exercise:)
You welcome Lillian. Good luck! 🙂 Jon
It’s looks so simple to do. Will definitely try this at home.
Hi Sharon,
Glad you enjoyed this class.
Let us know what you thought.

Looks like fun! Thank you for sharing this video!
Glad you enjoyed this Andreams 🙂
I’m off to try this out, I’m encouraged because it looks like something I might be able to do against my stairway and my prosthetics won’t be an issue because I won’t have to get up and down off the floor. (Except the child’s pose which I find I can only do on my bed 😀 ) Thanks
Hi Donna,
Let us know how it goes.
Den 🙂
I will try this. Thanks.
Still trying to figure out how to incorporate GTGE/HIIT using martial arts movements
That’s an interesting idea… have you been able to come up with anything Bill?
Great share thank you & lovely backdrop setting for video presentation. Water side exercising is so much more enjoyable. 🙂
Yes I agree with you Loveisa 🙂
