‘The Mind/Body connection’, by yoga & qigong teacher and bodyworker Maud Gerritsen

'Seven months after completing the Process, I finally decided that I’d had enough of my Jekyll and Hyde life. I quit my stress-inducing job and began to focus more on yoga, qigong, somatic work such as myofascial release - which releases tension and stress held in the body - and somatic movement, which retrains the brain to release postural stress patterns. In the words of trauma expert Bessel Van Der Kolk’s seminal book, ‘the body keeps the score’ of emotional stress and that’s why it is so important to understand your patterns...

I believe that my emotions are very much intertwined with my chronic illness. The Hoffman Process helped me to see when I am reacting from a pattern and provided me with tools to shift to responding from a place of calmness and equanimity. I would do the whole Process again in a heartbeat...'

'A wildly intense week,' Author, blogger and broadcaster Holly White shares her Process experience

A massive thank you to Hoffman graduate Holly White for sharing her Process Story on her blog and Instagram. You can read it in full here and a short extract below:

'One month on life feels different and it’s as if I’ve come out from under a wave I didn’t know I was struggling under. My insomnia has left. I can’t lay out the exact reasons as to why but spiritually speaking I feel, as I am about to enter the next decade of my life, I needed to process and leave behind certain things I didn’t consciously understand. This week allowed space and tools for that to happen...

I’m always cautious to recommend anything as I feel everyone’s outcome is unique to them but wholeheartedly my week at the Hoffman Process was one of the most efficient, intense and well spent 7 days of my life. I only wish I had found it sooner as I feel there’s a pretty beautiful life unfolding and I regret not knowing something so effective existed before.'
