What Happens When You Let Go of the Shoulds? A Gentle Conversation with Dan Peppiatt

In this special episode, I’m joined by teacher, thinker and seeker, Dan Peppiatt. We talk about what happens when we stop striving and start listening - not to the noise of the world, but to the quiet, honest voice within.

We explore the winding path that led Dan away from traditional yoga teaching and into a more intuitive, playful relationship with the body and spirit. Along the way, we touch on the meaning of presence, why stillness can feel unsafe, and how we might begin to trust ourselves again.

This is not a conversation full of answers. Instead, it’s an invitation to unlearn, to soften, and to return - gently - to what truly matters.

Let this be a moment to sit with your own truth. Brew a tea, take a breath, and come join us.

Join me for a gentle visualisation inspired by the recent lunar eclipse and the golden light of late summer. Together, we'll reflect on what’s come to fruition in your life, gently release what no longer serves you, and plant new seeds of intention into the fertile soil of change. With a nourishing reading by Nadine Stare and grounding imagery from the Qigong tradition, this episode invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and honour the beauty of both endings and beginnings.

Whether you're feeling the shift of the season or standing at the threshold of something new, this practice is here to hold you. Let it be a soft place to land and a reminder that change can be kind.

Settle in. Take a breath. And let the eclipse energy guide you home to yourself.

In this special summer episode, I invite you into a gentle, sensory-rich space for rest, reflection, and stillness.

We begin with a tender poem titled Summer by Lizzie Rosewood, a long-time student and supporter of our yoga and Qigong community. Her words are a golden thread through this practice - a meditation on presence, softness, and the subtle joys of the season.

What follows is a guided relaxation designed to help you soften the body, settle the mind, and welcome a moment of calm. With imagery of butter mountains, creaky doors eased by warmth, and crumpets kissed by summer light, this episode blends poetic language with grounded mindfulness.

Perfect for winding down, recharging, or simply reconnecting with yourself in the quieter corners of your day.

🌼 Features:
• Poem by Lizzie Rosewood
• Guided breathwork and body awareness
• Soothing summer visualisation
• Restorative, slow-paced practice for all levels
