Yoga Therapist and writer Brittany Capozzi, C-IAYT, is offering a monthly Trust Fall Writing exercise on her Substack page and will be creating monthly pop-up group sessions via Zoom.

Trust Fall Writing is a self-care writing exercise that she created in which participants are invited to write non-stop and as quickly as possible for five to 15 minutes after being given a writing prompt, also known as a “jump-off line”. The resulting words can capture many parts of oneself on the page, including imperfections and questions. The fast “trust falling” words quiet the inner critic, inviting kindness and a non-judgmental perspective.

As the activity cultivates a sense of non-harm and non-judgmental mindset that’s integral in yoga therapy in building new and healthy mental patterns, Capozzi uses it in her one-on-one yoga therapy sessions with women that are reclaiming self-compassion, security and clarity after hiding from chronic pain and/or trauma. Habitual hiding can manifest into shame, uncertainty, depression and anxiety.

“It’s a gentle way to show up for and with oneself… The fast movement, slow reflection and language braid healing,” she assesses. “This practice also benefits the female introvert who is building her business and struggling to find her voice.”

Cost: $8. To register for a Trust Fall Writing session and obtain updates on pop-up group events, visit Substack.com@brittanycapozzi. For more information or to arrange to work privately with her, visit UnderstoryYogaTherapy.com.
