For this episode I had a chat with yoga teacher Madeline. We talked about how yoga connects us with the natural world and we also talked about the healing benefits of crystals, how we can combine them with plants and our general thought on the 'wellness' phenomenon. Madeline currently teaches Yoga classes at MOO and BOOM in Whitchurch, Shropshire. You can also find Madeline on Instagram @life_as_yogi_soul and on facebook as Yogi Soul - Yoga and Meditation for all.

I was thrilled to have a chat with Kate as I really admire her designs and enthusiasm. It's not every day I get to chat to a very talented garden designer, I felt like we could have chatted for longer and afterwards I thought of lots of questions I wish I had asked! Doh! Enjoy the chat and I strongly encourage you to look up the beautiful spaces Kate has designed. Kate can be found on Instagram @katesgardendesign and her website is https://kmgardendesign.uk/.
