  • When Relaxation Backfires: The Triggers Yoga Teachers Miss w/ Liz Albanis

    When Relaxation Backfires: The Triggers Yoga Teachers Miss w/ Liz Albanis
    Jan 21 2026
    What if your “relaxing” yoga class was triggering someone’s trauma response?
    Candles. Cues. Eye pillows. Music.

    The stuff we think creates calm might be doing the exact opposite—and most teachers have no idea.

    Senior teacher Liz Albanis gets honest and unfiltered about the hidden ways yoga can harm—and how to teach with real sensitivity.

    Inside this raw + eye-opening episode:

    🧠 Yoga as penicillin? Why what heals one student could harm another
    😬 The “nourishing” studio elements that quietly dysregulate trauma survivors
    💪🏽 That pose isn’t hard—it’s literally not possible in their skeleton
    🚪 Emergency exits, mat placement, blink rate: what they reveal about your students
    🌀 Relaxation ≠ Regulation (and why that distinction really matters)
    🧘🏼‍♀️ Real choice goes way beyond “take what you need”
    📣 Should yoga ever push buttons? Liz says… maybe not.
    🥹 One student passed out, the teacher laughed. Liz has thoughts

    Whether you're brand new to trauma-awareness or deep in the work, this convo will shift how you see your role as a teacher.

    Rose Alicia Allen says yes—and shows you how. Expect nerdy movement science, real talk on trauma-informed teaching, and enough lightbulb moments to rework your next class.

    😬 The weird thing hypermobile bodies and anesthesia patients have in common
    ✨ A quirky concept called the “threat bucket” that explains way more than you’d think
    🌀 The sneaky way your brain maps your body—and why it matters in every pose
    🧘🏻‍♀️ What happens when students start wiggling in Warrior II
    🧭 A tiny cue tweak that can shift an entire sequence
