Chats Over Coffee With My Yoga Teacher

In this episode everybody’s favourite yoga teacher and comedian combo chat about ‘Asteya’, the 3rd of the yamas, which is generally translated as ‘non-stealing’. They discuss different forms of theft, from literal robbery to more abstract ideas around stealing time and taking things away from your own or others experiences. Other topics include having long hair, the origins of religious rules and yoga for ghosts. Luckily this podcast is free, so it’ll only feel like you’ve stolen it.

In this episode Peter and Kayla chat about ‘Satya’, the 2nd Yama, which means ‘truthfulness’. They discuss what truth is and it's shifting nature, having the bravery to go against societal conventions, robots, sporting ability skipping a generation, and how weird it is that birds come in so many more different sizes than we do.

This time out Peter and Kayla discuss Ahimsa, the 1st of the yamas, the idea within yoga philosophy around non-harming. They discuss if it’s possible to go through life without causing harm somewhere, trying to be an ethical consumer, winning people around to your point of view without turning them off and whether it’s better to be a mouse or a tortoise.

Thinking about doing yoga but worried you're not flexible enough? The short answer is, don't worry, but if you have, this might be the episode for you as Kayla and Peter discuss different body types, teaching accessible yoga and how even beginners classes can sometimes be off-putting. Other topics this week include small talking with builders, handstands, having fun with the phrase 'yogi's choice' and Kayla's pet peeve of watching people walking incorrectly in the park.

In this one, Peter and Kayla talk about feet after Kayla's 'foot focus' class turned out to be a lot more interesting than expected. They discuss balance, bunions, why it's good to wiggle your toes, calluses and Peter's recurring dream where he walks the streets barefoot. For those who aren't foot fans, don't worry, there's some other stuff about blending in when you're abroad, aromatherapy and a conspiracy theory about why they burnt all the witches in the 17th century or whenever it was.

Peter and Kayla chat about the concept of Free Will. What is it? Do we have it? Is the course of the universe determined or random or have we the power to change it? And where does this tie in with meditation? More questions than answers this week, mainly a discussion about a really interesting subject. Although, two questions we do get definitive answers to are 'what did Kayla do when she was asked to cover a pilates class?' and 'what happened when Peter did a comedy show for kids?'
