From Liverpool to Goa — Julia’s Journey Through Yoga, Teaching & Transformation – Episode 7

In this uplifting and wisdom-filled episode, Erin sits down with yoga teacher and studio owner Julia, whose story flows from teaching maths in Liverpool to running a thriving yoga academy and retreat in South Goa. They explore how Ashtanga yoga builds discipline and stillness, how to truly sit with yourself, and why even toddlers learning yoga at nursery is a beautiful start for the next generation. Julia shares her path from early injury and curiosity to becoming an anatomy expert — breaking down complex knowledge with humour and clarity. The conversation dives into the evolution of yoga styles, from traditional Ashtanga to playful Rocket, Bikram’s controversies, and the mystical world of Kundalini. Julia also opens up about collaborating with Andrea (“the dream team!”) on anatomy and adjustment courses, teaching philosophy, and the importance of lifelong learning and curiosity in both body and mind. It’s a heartfelt, funny, and grounded chat about movement, stillness, intuition, and what it means to live in alignment — whether in Goa’s sunshine or Liverpool’s rain.

Episode 6 – New Vibes, Real Talk & The Power of Just Being You

The Revival Podcast is back with a fresh setup, a new format, and a promise to keep things real. In this episode, David and Erin dive into everything from the tough stuff — free speech, violence, resilience, sepsis, and Ricky Hatton’s passing — to the deeply personal, including authenticity, breathwork, and what it really means to “find yourself.” With Marcus behind the scenes throwing surprise topics their way, no subject is off-limits. From raw reflections to lighter cultural moments with Ed Sheeran, Craig David, and Will Smith, this episode proves that the best conversations happen when you drop the mask and just show up as yourself. Takeaway? Be kind, be present, and above all — just be you.

Episode 5: “Turning 30, Trying Barre, and the Coldest Ice Bath in Liverpool”

In Episode 5, Erin celebrates her 30th birthday and reflects on stepping into a new, more grounded era of life—with confidence, clarity, and plenty of laughter. Joined by David, the duo chat through the latest happenings at Revival, from the launch of their sold-out Bikram-inspired “BRIM” yoga course to the introduction of Barre classes and a fresh perk for members: monthly access to the rainforest room. They talk growth—not just in business, but personally. From the postnatal community blossoming week by week to what it really means to find purpose in your work, Erin and David keep it real. The episode wraps with an off-the-cuff Q&A covering everything from superpowers and death row meals to why they'd never trade their present for the past. This one’s all about connection, community, and choosing growth—even when it’s uncomfortable. Come for the updates, stay for the good vibes.

Episode 4: Mountains, Mindset & Cold Showers – with Tom from Adventure Code

In this episode, we’re joined by Tom, founder of Adventure Code, whose life took a complete turn after a single walk in the Welsh mountains. Once a self-proclaimed party guy living fast in Liverpool, Tom found himself questioning everything—his routine, his relationships, and his purpose. That one walk opened a door to nature, self-reflection, and a whole new way of living. Now leading transformative group hikes and retreats, including treks to Everest Base Camp, Tom shares how movement, the cold, and the outdoors helped him rebuild his mindset and connect with something much deeper. We talk about how powerful it is to get out of your head and into your body, the connection between nature and healing, and why discomfort (like a cold shower or a long climb) might be exactly what you need. Expect honest stories about hitting rock bottom, wild mountain moments, finding your calling, and creating community from a place of courage and curiosity. This one’s for anyone craving space, clarity, and a reminder that your next chapter could begin with a single step outdoors.

Episode 3: Chaos to Clarity — Andrea’s Raw & Real Journey Through Motherhood, Birth, and Breathwork

In this powerful episode, Erin sits down with Andrea from Metal Monkey to dive deep into the beautifully messy journey of motherhood. From teaching yoga retreats while unknowingly pregnant to navigating a health scare in Abu Dhabi and birthing three children under four, Andrea shares her unfiltered story of resilience, intuition, and surrender. They unpack traumatic birth experiences, the role of ego in pregnancy, healing through movement, and the profound strength found in breathwork and body connection. This conversation is for anyone seeking honesty about postpartum recovery, identity loss, and the raw truths of mothering in today’s world.

Revival Podcast - Movement Is Life: Rethinking Mobility with Andrea & Zen from Metal Monkey

In this energising and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Andrea and Zen from Metal Monkey to challenge the outdated notion that mobility is just for the elderly. Together, we explore how poor movement patterns are affecting everyone—from teenagers to office workers—and why foundational movements like squatting and stretching are essential for long-term health. Andrea and Zen share the science behind the phrase “motion is lotion,” explain how modern lifestyles are contributing to joint stiffness and pain, and introduce the concept of “movement snacks” as an accessible way to build healthy habits. The conversation also touches on their vision to support people recovering from surgery or living with conditions like Parkinson’s, with a goal of making movement more inclusive and restorative for all. Whether you’re already active or just beginning your wellness journey, this episode will inspire you to rethink what it means to move well and feel well for life.
