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?'

This time out, Peter and Kayla talk about originality, memory and how they were both triggered by Toy Story.

It's Episode 2. We decided to persist for a bit longer. Peter and Kayla discuss their different reasons for meditating, the nature of consciousness, elephants, bats, whether the pandemic was Kayla's fault (nothing to do with bats) and if what Peter did in class constituted a headstand. There's a Star Trek reference for Trekkies, and a Star Wars one for the opposite tribe (we try to cater for all).

The 1st one, how exciting, and you were there when it happened, something to tell the grandkids about hopefully. In this episode Peter (comedian) and Kayla (yoga teacher) kind of introduce themselves, they discuss Peter's envy at how Kayla is still able to perform in front of people, his failed attempts at public meditation, how the language around yoga can be off-putting, the link between yoga and religion, whether we should be seeking happiness or contentment, nostalgia, public speaking, dancing as children and very loud music.
