Join Liz Albanis as she chats with Doro Baumfalk about teaching trauma-informed Yoga. Yoga for mental health, Ayurveda and journaling.

Together they explore:

• Trauma-aware yoga teaching. How props, poses, language, and environment can be triggers. And how to offer students compassionate options.
• Dorothy’s personal journey to discovering yoga
• The power of combining yoga and journaling. Especially for mental health
• Real-life stories of transformation, including teaching at a rare cancer community event
• Practical ways to balance the doshas through everyday tools.
• The importance of letting go of perfectionism in both yoga and journaling
• Empowering journal prompts
• Journaling offers a powerful way to explore emotions and deepen yoga practice.
• Ayurveda is accessible. Small shifts can help bring balance and insight.

About: Doro is a yoga teacher, Ayurvedic counselor, and journal therapist who brings together movement, mindfulness, and writing to support holistic wellbeing. After more than a decade working in the hotel industry, she experienced firsthand how demanding modern life can be and how difficult it is to truly switch off. Today, she integrates journaling into her yoga classes to help students clear the mind and connect more deeply with their practice. Drawing on Ayurveda, she emphasises the individuality of health and teaches practical ways to recognise and balance the Doshas in daily life. Dorothee also offers workshops and trainings for yoga teachers, inspiring them to enrich their own classes with Ayurveda and journaling.
