| Episode 53 : Dharma, Separation & the Ripple Effect, What We’re Really Here To Do | 14 Nov 2025 | 00:27:54 | |
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.

| Episode 52: Compassion, The Medicine of the Heart | 07 Nov 2025 | 00:43:21 | |
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.] Did you know you can subscribe to this podcast so that it automatically downloads the next episode for you?

| Episode 43 : Beneath the Surface: Shadow Work, Self-Worth & Retrograde Reflection | 18 Jul 2025 | 00:51:53 | |
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.

| Episode 42 : Beyond the Poses: Yoga Teacher Training as a Journey To Being Enough As You Are | 11 Jul 2025 | 00:30:45 | |
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:
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.

| Episode 41 : Uranus in Gemini: Voice, Truth & the Age of AI | 04 Jul 2025 | 00:24:56 | |
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:
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?

| Episode 40: Addiction as Disconnection: Healing with Yoga and the Stars | 27 Jun 2025 | 00:57:35 | |
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.

| Episode 39: Layers of Being: Exploring the Koshas in Everyday Life | 20 Jun 2025 | 00:29:57 | |
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. Did you know you can subscribe to this podcast so that it automatically downloads the next episode for you?

| Episode 38: A Conversation with Adam Clayton: Men’s Mental Health, Feeling Again & What Heals | 13 Jun 2025 | 00:38:07 | |
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.

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.

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. We talk about:

| Episode 35: Coming Home to Yourself: Meditation for Real Life | 23 May 2025 | 00:25:33 | |
What even is meditation? Is it sitting cross-legged trying not to think? Or is it something much deeper, more sacred—and more personal? In this episode, we open up about our own experiences with meditation at where we are in life right now. We talk about: This isn’t about doing it ‘right’- it’s about meeting yourself with honesty, curiosity and compassion. Whether you're brand new or returning to your practice, this episode invites you to redefine meditation in a way that actually serves your soul.

| Episode 34: The Reality of Holidays: Relationships, Questions & Unfolding Truths | 16 May 2025 | 00:53:45 | |
Holidays bring hope of connection, joy, and magic—but they often stir something deeper. In this episode, we explore the emotional complexity of holidays: the overwhelm, disconnection, and relational tension that can arise just as we’re expected to relax and enjoy! Why do holidays unearth what we normally keep hidden? And how can practices like yoga, mindfulness, and astrology help us hold what surfaces with compassion, rather than fear or reaction? We’ll talk about:
This is an invitation to listen inward, soften expectations, and let the holidays be what they are: a portal to presence, truth, and transformation.

| Episode 51: Halloween, Samhain & The Descent Into Scorpio Season | 31 Oct 2025 | 00:24:31 | |
Every year, when the clocks fall back and the nights stretch long, we cross an ancient threshold, and into Scorpio season, into darkness, into the underworld of our own becoming. In this solo episode, Becky unravels the true origins of Samhain and Halloween, the Celtic fire festival honouring death, rebirth, and the ancestors, and how the Church rebranded this potent portal as All Hallows’ Eve. She explores the myth of the Jack O’ Lantern as the soul’s guiding light, the hidden symbolism of Adam, Eve and the serpent as descent into duality, and the deeper meaning of Scorpio season — where we’re asked to generate our own light from within. This is an episode about death and transformation, ego and awakening, womb healing, ancestral remembrance, and the power of creating light in the dark.

Welcome back to North Node: The Yoga & Astrology Podcast! Today, we’re diving into a profound yet practical concept from yogic philosophy—the Kleshas. These are the five afflictions, or mental and emotional obstacles, that keep us stuck in cycles of suffering. But we’re not just breaking down ancient philosophy; we’re making it real—because the Kleshas aren’t abstract ideas, they show up in our everyday lives, in our fears, our attachments, and even our sense of self. In this episode, we’re exploring: Ultimately, this is a conversation about spiritual awareness. The Kleshas keep us in a fog, but through yoga, self-inquiry, and astrology, we can recognize these patterns and work with them instead of against them. Let’s dive in.

We’ll talk about how to navigate spiritual burnout, ego death, and the messy middle of transformation, while grounding yourself in compassion and embodiment.

Ellie shared how small shifts in alignment can lead to profound healing and why posture work is essential to create balance.

| Episode 21: Ayurveda, TCM & Finding Balance with Health | 14 Feb 2025 | 00:38:49 | |
In this episode, we’re diving into Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine that views health through the lens of the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. But does categorizing people into doshas actually work? And how does Ayurveda compare to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which takes a more fluid approach? We’ll also explore how Ayurveda connects to astrology, how (or if) your dosha can change over time, and whether this 5,000-year-old system is still relevant in today’s world. If you've ever been curious about Ayurveda but weren’t sure where to start, this episode is for you! 🔹 What’s your dosha?

We discuss the impact that emotions can have on our physical health, emphasising the importance of treating the root cause of dis-ease through inner work, rather than repeatedly treating physical symptoms instead. We hope that in sharing this information we can empower others to know their own frequency and learn how to bring themselves into balance, through holistic practices such as yoga, frequency and spirituality.
