0n our last episode of season one, I talked to my mum about her experiences with mental health as an individual, a parent and a teacher, what's changed in how society responds to mental illness since she was my age, how her own experiences helped her support me and my sisters with mental illness and advice she'd give to teachers, parents and anyone else supporting young people struggling with their mental health.

On this episode my brilliant guest Lydia opened up about her personal journey with anxiety, depression and an eating disorder. We also discuss how the traditional practise of yoga is becoming increasingly popular in western cultures as a powerful tool to aid mental health.

We talk yoga for beginners, top tips for starting out, how yoga has helped both of us cope with mental illness and the importance of respecting the practise's cultural origins.
