  • 29: Peter Eyre
    Aug 2 2021
    Hello and welcome to Episode 29 of That Yoga Woman’s Podcast. A podcast where yogis, yoga teachers and studio owners share stories of their lives on and off the mat. 
    I’m Jules Buchanan, a yoga teacher and your host. 
    This week I’m talking to Peter Eyre.
    Peter is another of my guests based in the north east - in fact I need to share that I actually work for him at the new Hotpod he’s set up with his partner Allie, up here in the lovely town of Morpeth. 
    Having made the decision to take on a Hotpod franchise just before the start of the pandemic, their timing hasn’t made this an easy process so I’ll find out how he’s managed to secure a space and set up a new yoga studio during multiple lockdowns. I’ll also be asking him what working as a franchisee has been like and why he and his partner decided to go down that route, rather than establish their own studio and brand. 
    Prior to teaching yoga, Peter was a headteacher and he made the decision to leave his educational career to start his yoga business so I’ll find out how easy that decision was for him and his partner (Allie is still a headteacher) as well as what the pros and cons are of managing a school. I’ll also be asking him how his career progressed to that point and whether he’d always wanted to be a teacher from the start of his working life. 
    Outside of work and yoga Peter was born in Zambia (of all places) and was really into sports in a competitive way when he was younger - we’re talking county level for rugby, swimming and even pole vault! Nowadays, he has a passion for surfing and loves being part of the surf community in the area. Yes, there’s apparently more people than just Peter that loves going out in the freezing cold of the water off the north east coast to enjoy the waves! I’ll be asking him more about that, as well as how yoga combines with surfing. I’m also interested to know what first led him to yoga sessions.  
    On top of this he’s also into interiors (aren’t we all to a certain extent?) but Peter and Allie are another level -  their current house (which is on the beach in Cambois) will be featured in this month’s Good Homes magazine…amazing! 
    So, I think you’ll agree there’s lots of ground to cover….I really hope you enjoy listening to our conversation…
    Listeners, you can contact Peter through Instagram; @hotpodyogamorpeth or by emailing him at morpeth@hotpodyoga.com  If you’ve got any questions for him I’m sure he’d be happy to answer them.
    His Savasana Sounds are Apricots by Bicep as well as the classic Inner City Life by Goldie.

  • 28: Sidonie Graham
    Jul 19 2021
    Hello and welcome to Episode 28 of That Yoga Woman’s Podcast. A podcast where yogis, yoga teachers and studio owners share stories of their lives on and off the mat. 
    I’m Jules Buchanan, a yoga teacher and your host. 
    This week I’m talking to Sidonie Graham.
    Sidonie (or Sid as she is known) is born and raised in my new neck of the woods in the North East. We met through working together at our new local hotpod in Morpeth and I heard that Sid is into rock climbing. Turns out thats a bit of an understatement (she won the British Mountaineering Youth Championships at the tender age of 13) so I’ll be asking her to share more about her love of climbing, when it started, where it came from and also where it has taken her so far! I read that she had wanted to be a professional climber so I’ll find out if that is still on her radar and what her life would look like if she achieved that goal.
    As well as finding out about her yoga journey so far (she qualified to teach in 2019 after studying in India) I’ll also be asking Sid what her teaching life was like pre-pandemic, how the pandemic affected her work, and whether she has plans to change what her yoga business looks like now that restrictions are starting to ease up, and face to face teaching is resuming. Sid, like many of us, teaches at a number of local studios as well as specialised yoga for climbers sessions at a local climbing centre. 
    Sid is also, like many of us, worried about the impact of climate change so I’ll ask her to share her views on that, as well as asking her for info on some of her favourite local haunts that I can explore. 
    I really hope you enjoy listening to our conversation…
    Listeners, you can contact Sid through her Instagram; @northern_soul_yoga If you’ve got any questions for her I’m sure she’d be happy to answer them.
    Her Savasana Sounds is a track by Triangles in the Mist called Green Depths - there are 3 4ish minute tracks and then an extended 20 minute version, so have a little listen and let her know what you think!   Support Enjoyed listening?

  • 27: Kirsty Elliott
    Jul 5 2021
    Hello and welcome to Episode 27 of That Yoga Woman’s Podcast. A podcast where yogis, yoga teachers and studio owners share stories of their lives on and off the mat. 
    I’m Jules Buchanan, a yoga teacher and your host. 
    This week I’m talking to Kirsty Elliot.
    Kirsty is based down in Dorset and is founder of The Yoga Within. She runs weekly classes in local villages…places like Berwick St John, Motcombe, Fontmell Magna and Iwerne Minster - they sound so picturesque don’t they! She’s also, like many of us, continuing her online classes for the time being via zoom so I’ll be asking what her thoughts are on that and the future of online yoga classes. As well as weekly classes, Kirsty runs monthly workshops at an old redeveloped mill space and participates in an annual festival in Shaftesbury, which brings yoga, pilates and qi-gong for free to the local community over the summer in conjunction with the local council. I’m interested to hear more about how that came about and understand whether it is something that other yoga teachers might be able to replicate in their local area. 
    As well as being a busy yoga teacher with a thriving business (her classes are fully booked every week) Kirsty is a married Mum of two young children and has 3 dogs so I’ll be asking her how she finds running her business alongside her family commitments. 
    Kirsty predominantly teaches Dru Yoga (alongside yoga nidra) and this isn’t something I know much about so I’m keen to understand more about what her classes are like. Kirsty is also a reiki master so, as well as finding out more about how she got into yoga and subsequently became a teacher…I’d also like to know when she started reiki and how she blends the two areas together. 
    She’s also really into horses - I’m not sure how else you’d say that without it sounding a bit odd but I read that she was a professional horse rider and last year she worked with her local Riding for the Disabled Association to develop yoga sessions with horses which were a great success so I’ll ask her what that was like too. 
    I really hope you enjoy listening to our conversation…
    Listeners, you can contact Kirsty through her website www.theyogawithin.co.uk or through her Facebook page @theyogawithin 
    Her Savasana Sounds is a track by Ashana called Ave Maria and she also loved Jack Johnson’s version of Imagine. 
    Have a listen to her track recommendations and let her know what you thought about the podcast. If you’ve got any questions for her I’m sure she’d be happy to answer them.    Support Enjoyed listening?
