At Womenkind Collective we aim to myth bust and inform on subjects that are relevant to what’s happening now, we question, chat and research diverse topics and today’s podcast is brimming with diversity. We meet Jinty’s brother, Neil, & together they explain why yoga is a philosophy, the importance of a daily practice and that absolutely anyone can do yoga. We talk breast cancer and how to check your boobs, also the 9to5 movement and why sadly this is still as relevant today as it was 40 years ago. We complete Fern Riddell’s Sex Lessons From History with some astonishing stories and we reveal next month’s book for the Collective. There’s also the final love food for the month and our end of month Wine Collective. A jam packed podcast full of information and laughs! Siblings Jinty and Neil are the founders of Ashtanga Yoga Exmouth we hear their inspiring story how Neil started his yoga journey and how Jinty reluctantly in the beginning became involved. We learn what yoga is, it’s not just exercise it’s a philosophy not a religion, and knowing that you are enough, it’s a huge question that the pair answer and give an insight into a yogic way of life. We learn how yoga has impacted positively on their lives, calming situations that would normally have caused them both to have reacted differently. They myth bust on why anyone can do yoga. If we could only do quarter of an hour of yoga a day it will make your life lighter and make you enjoy life to its fullest. Plus there’s 3 inspiring tips of a yogic life. There’s a Queen Dolly fest to chat about Lou gets furious about the film 9 to 5, misogyny in the workplace and she researched to find out that it is based on a movement in the 1970’s about empowering women in the workplace. Jinty talks about getting to know your body and what to feel for in your vulva and breasts when checking for possible cancer, we learn that breast cancer under 40 is still quite rare and is the second most common cancer. The Collective also find out their drag Queen names- What will yours be? The final week of the book Collective reads the last 3 chapters of Fern Riddell’s Sex Lessons From History, there is a lot of female power and we find out how a group of women helped convict Dr Crippin. The final chapter brings the book together and makes us remember that sex should be enjoyed and consensual by all parties, be loud, have smells and be noisy. Fern completes the book beautifully with the #metoo movement, which is where we go to next with our new book for the Collective, Unbound Tarana Burke My Story of Liberation and the birth of the me too movement. The Wine Collective sip on this month’s choices, Lou’s choice this month is a rose, Quintessence Mediterranee from M&S and is priced at £9 a bottle, it’s a fruity number and is best served chilled. Jinty has a non-alcoholic drink and this month it’s a Pentire Seaward, it’s a Cornish botanical drink, it’s made from local botanicals grown on Cornish headlands, priced at £24 a bottle and is mixed with a tonic or ginger beer. The Foodie Collective completes the Love Food month, Jinty (as usual) cooked a beautiful pear, cinnamon and vanilla crumble, who knew that a pear is an aphrodisiac? Well this tasty pudding is vegan and can be served warm or cold. Email or message us for the recipe.The WI Sea swimming for Women’s Aid 1.6 challenge is still underway and will the pair complete their challenge of 16 sea swims this month?
