North Node: The Yoga & Astrology Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode, we explore the deeper truth of dharma and the ripple effect — not as a metaphor, but as the lived reality of being human.

We talk about how every one of us begins life in unity, arriving from Source and entering the world through our mother’s body. Childhood becomes our first initiation into separation, and the way we experience that separation shapes how we see ourselves, others, and the world.

From there, the spiritual journey is simply the journey home: back to connection, back to wholeness, back to remembering we were never truly separate at all.

We dive into what this means in real life. Being ‘spiritual’ isn’t about perfection or performance; it’s about intention, presence, and how we choose to show up in the everyday moments that ripple outward into the collective.

We touch on dharma — the soul’s blueprint for this lifetime — and how our purpose is less about what we do and more about how we return to unity within ourselves.

In this episode, we explore compassion not as an idea to grasp, but as a vibration to embody. Through the lens of yoga philosophy and astrology, we look at how the heart opens when we stop trying to understand compassion and instead allow ourselves to feel it.

We’ll talk about how true compassion begins with the self — how the softness we offer our own imperfections creates ripples that heal our relationships, our nervous systems, and even our sense of purpose.

This is an invitation to practice compassion as a living, breathing experience — one that transforms not only how we relate to others, but how we return home to ourselves.]

This episode dives into the raw, often unspoken terrain of shadow work, especially the parts of us that surface during retrograde season. The ones that whisper “you’re not doing enough”, or “you’re too much again.” The parts that keep us over-giving, over-apologising, over-achieving, or stuck in cycles of self-criticism.

We explore how these patterns live in the body, the birth chart, and our everyday lives. For us, this shows up most vividly in the challenges we face as mothers - where the pressure to hold it all can expose the deepest cracks in our sense of worth.

This is a conversation about truth, tenderness, and self-inquiry. About coming home to yourself. And about how the retrogrades, far from punishing us, are inviting us into greater wholeness, if we’re brave enough to look within.

In this episode, we reflect on the powerful transformations that unfolded during our recent 200hr Yoga Teacher Training - not just for the students, but for us as guides and space holders too.

We explore the Heroine’s Journey as a framework for what it means to move from doing to being, from striving to softening, from performance to presence. Through honest conversation, shared reflection, and personal storytelling, we unpack how this training became a container for:

• Releasing old identities and roles
• Simultaneously learning and unlearning
• Facing the wounds of disconnection from the feminine
• Reclaiming intuition, softness, and soul truth
• Remembering that our worth isn’t tied to what we do, but who we are

You’ll also hear part of our own journeys - from burnout and masculine achievement to spiritual crisis and rediscovery through yoga and feminine embodiment. But more than that, this episode honours the collective spiral we witnessed as our recent batch of teacher returned to themselves, one breath, one posture, one moment at a time.

On 7/7/2025 — a numerological portal of awakening — Uranus, the planet of disruption and liberation, moves into Gemini for the first time in 84 years.

This is more than a transit. It’s a revolution of voice, thought, and technology.

In this episode, we explore:

• What Uranus represents in your natal chart
• How Uranus in Taurus redefined values, bodies, and security — including the COVID years
• What Uranus in Gemini will awaken in our minds, our media, our nervous systems, and our spiritual path
• The rise of AI and the widening consciousness gap
• Why this is the age of truth-speaking, sound healing, and liberating your voice

This is a 7-year portal into the future. Will we use it to deepen into soul — or to outsource more of who we are?

In this episode, we explore addiction—not just as a dependence on substances or behaviours, but as a symptom of deeper longing, disconnection, and unmet needs. Through the lenses of astrology and yoga, we unpack how certain planetary influences may illuminate patterns of escapism, craving, and emotional overwhelm.

What are we really seeking when we reach for something outside ourselves? How can practices like pranayama, asana, and meditation help regulate the nervous system and reconnect us to an inner sense of safety and presence?

We reflect on the spiritual roots of addiction and the human desire to feel whole, grounded, and at peace. This is a tender conversation about compassion, self-awareness, and the courage to sit with discomfort instead of running from it.

Whether you’re walking this path yourself or holding space for someone who is, may this episode offer insight, grounding, and hope.

In this episode, we peel back the layers of the self - Dive deep into the ancient yogic concept of the Koshas, the five energetic sheaths that form our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual experience. From the tangible body to the blissful soul layer, you'll discover how these subtle energies shape your daily life—and how to work with them consciously for greater balance, vitality, and insight.

We’ll explore where the koshas come from in yogic texts like the Taittiriya Upanishad, how they were practiced traditionally, and how you can use them right now—in your yoga, your breath, your thoughts, and even your astrology. Whether you're a seeker, teacher, or simply curious, this episode will give you a powerful inner map to live more connected, aligned, and whole. Press play to remember: you are not just one thing—you are layered, luminous, and infinite.

In this special episode, Laura is joined by her husband Adam for a deeply honest and powerful conversation about men’s mental health, emotional healing, and the sacred masculine.

Having discussed masculinity and relationships on previous episodes with Becky, we thought it would be important to share the male perspective. Adam shares his struggles with connecting to feeling and what helped. We hope this episode can be shared with other men, to help them reconnect with themselves and the people in their lives too. 

Adam shares his personal journey — from the emotional suppression of rugby culture, struggles with identity and steroid addiction, to finding healing through movement, hiking and spiritual reconnection. Adam explains how his company APEX Everest took an unexpected direction, unknowingly creating the opportunity for men (and women) to talk shoulder to shoulder whilst hiking, and the community and healing that has created as a result.

Whether you're in partnership, navigating your own emotional world, or holding space for the men in your life, this episode is an invitation into a more honest, conscious, and connected way of being.

Jupiter is about to enter Cancer and with it comes a wave of emotional expansion, spiritual nourishment, and a powerful reclamation of what abundance really means.

In this solo episode, Becky dives deep into the astrology of Jupiter: the cosmic teacher, the generous guide, the planet of blessings, faith, and possibility. She explores why Cancer is Jupiter’s place of exaltation, what this means for your growth over the next 12 months, and how this transit offers a sacred reset — not just in how we manifest, but in how we receive.

Touching on the contrasting energy of Saturn now in Aries , in detriment and how this creates an energetic tension between softness and structure, nourishment and self-discipline, expansion and initiation.

If you’ve been feeling like you can’t keep growing the way you used to…
If your body is asking to be centred in your dreams…
If your soul is craving more rooted, feminine ways to feel abundant…

Then this episode is for you.

We are standing at the edge of one of the most powerful energetic shifts of our lifetime. As Saturn begins to leave Pisces and Neptune prepares to do the same, we’re not just ending a chapter, we’re closing entire karmic cycles.

In this episode, we explore what it means to be shaped by Saturn and Neptune in Pisces - the clearing, the grief, the spiritual weight, and what’s now rising from the ashes as both planets move into Aries.

This is the astrology of starting over.
Of redefining who you are.
Of burning down false identities and rebuilding a life with soul at the centre.

We talk about:

• Self-responsibility as sacred practice
• The shadow side of spiritual labels
• Technology, embodiment & the age of AI
• Why you might feel the urge to tear it all up and start again
• What happens when karma clears, and the fire returns

This isn’t the beginning you expected.
It’s the beginning you were made for.
