The story behind the yoga for trauma podcast
The podcast was inspired by Liz’s experience surviving her second house fire. An event that profoundly shaped her perspective on trauma recovery through yoga and resilience. The 'tapas' (internal heat) it created for recovery, as this event changed her in more ways that she could have imagined. This experience sparked a more in depth exploration into how life events influence our mental and physical health. How one event can change the rest of our life.
Reviews
“I am grateful that Australia has smoke alarm legislation, but it needs to be tightened to match the state of Queensland. Plain and simple. there have been many deaths here in Australia and overseas because smoke alarms were not interconnected and they weren’t in bedrooms.”
Liz Albanis (episode on 31 1st June 2026)

“The realty is we can't control how people feel, we can't control how people think. And yet to teach our class with an expectation that we'll get good feedback (whatever that is) is to set us up to be very disappointed.

“A lot of us really would love to find someone that we could put all of our trust in and have them fix us and heal us. But I just don't even believe that's possible. I believe that has to come from within. I believe we all have to walk the journey. ''
