Welcome to North Node: The Yoga & Astrology Podcast - we are so excited to bring you our very first episode…

Meet your hosts Laura Clayton & Becky Clissett – in this episode we share our paths to finding yoga, astrology & following the breadcrumbs to this point on our journeys.

We speak into the power of yoga, our individual journeys the which changed us from being spiritually cynical & closed to the true magic of life, to lives where we see things differently with more trust, intention and the tools to cope with the challenges of being human in a busy and chaotic world.

We share on the power of meeting the right people at the right time, synchronicities and our ‘why’ for starting this podcast.

Body image is a sensitive subject, but as surgical intervention sky rockets and self-esteem plummets, it feels like an area which needs voicing. We hope that by sharing ideas from yoga and astrology we can shine a light on the root of these compensatory behaviours and offer a new lens to see ourselves, reminding listeners that we are all enough just as we are.

In this episode we discuss the meaning of sthira and sukhum, or strength and softness and why the balance of both is needed while practicing yoga and also in life. We discuss how sthira and sukhum is showing up in our lives and the world through the balance of masculine and feminine energy. 

And why this balance of yin and yang is critical for health & happiness, and for changing the world we live in.

In this episode, we explain what yoga really means and discuss the first and second limbs of yoga - the Yamas & Niyamas. 

We explore how to live both with truth and kindness, discipline and trusting the universe, hard work and contentment. And, we explain why some of these principals will be harder or easier to navigate depending on our birth chart. 

A deeper understanding of these topics helps us evolve and learn the lessons we are here to master in this lifetime.
