Episode Description
Hello and welcome to Episode 28 of That Yoga Woman’s Podcast. A podcast where yogis, yoga teachers and studio owners share stories of their lives on and off the mat.
I’m Jules Buchanan, a yoga teacher and your host.
This week I’m talking to Sidonie Graham.
Sidonie (or Sid as she is known) is born and raised in my new neck of the woods in the North East. We met through working together at our new local hotpod in Morpeth and I heard that Sid is into rock climbing. Turns out thats a bit of an understatement (she won the British Mountaineering Youth Championships at the tender age of 13) so I’ll be asking her to share more about her love of climbing, when it started, where it came from and also where it has taken her so far! I read that she had wanted to be a professional climber so I’ll find out if that is still on her radar and what her life would look like if she achieved that goal.
As well as finding out about her yoga journey so far (she qualified to teach in 2019 after studying in India) I’ll also be asking Sid what her teaching life was like pre-pandemic, how the pandemic affected her work, and whether she has plans to change what her yoga business looks like now that restrictions are starting to ease up, and face to face teaching is resuming. Sid, like many of us, teaches at a number of local studios as well as specialised yoga for climbers sessions at a local climbing centre.
Sid is also, like many of us, worried about the impact of climate change so I’ll ask her to share her views on that, as well as asking her for info on some of her favourite local haunts that I can explore.
I really hope you enjoy listening to our conversation…
Listeners, you can contact Sid through her Instagram; @northern_soul_yoga If you’ve got any questions for her I’m sure she’d be happy to answer them.
Her Savasana Sounds is a track by Triangles in the Mist called Green Depths - there are 3 4ish minute tracks and then an extended 20 minute version, so have a little listen and let her know what you think!

Nicole De Leon: Podcast Host and Fired up Soul Mamma
In a world where so many women have shed past notions of what being a mom looks like, who can listeners turn to for real talk on soulful motherhood? Through this weekly podcast, host, Nicole De Leon, a long-time surfer, teacher, yoga instructor, adventurer and now new mother, seeks to candidly talk about the realities of modern motherhood, especially as it affects the pursuit of one’s own interests while remaining a soulful parent. In this podcast, guest moms will share inspiring stories of how they persisted in living out their truest passions and purpose in spite of – and often as a result of – adversity and struggle. Nicole’s hope is that through this podcast mothers will be encouraged to believe in their dreams and prioritize joyful lives in order to teach their children to do the same.
Ahimsa Choice

Ahimsa is one of the yoga Yamas and means non-violence towards all beings. The Ahimsa Choice Podcast lives at the intersection of wellness and sustainability. This podcast is made for women who want to live a life that is sustainable for both ourselves and the world around us. We cover every little detail of how to transition to a more non-violent, sustainable and wholesome life. I approach wellness and sustainability from both a personal and environmental angle, giving you the tools not only to get more out of life for yourself but also save the planet while doing so! My goal is to empower women to find peace through meditation and wellness practices and to lead the change to a slow, environmentally focused lifestyle. I'll chat with the women leading the wellness and sustainability movements from business owners to physicians to provide you with all the tools you need to live your most fulfilling, joyful life without leaving a footprint!
The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast
Shannon Crow (she/her)
The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast is a place where yoga teachers can tune in each week to learn, connect with community and gain inspiration. After a yoga teacher training it can feel like being left out in the wilderness for yoga teacher entrepreneurs. The business side of yoga is often not talked about as much as philosophy, anatomy and other topics covered in a yoga teacher training. This podcast addresses the questions and challenges that yoga teachers face. Hear interviews with yoga teachers and other professionals on a variety of topics.
