Beyond The Studio
Beyond the Studio is a podcast hosted by Hayley
Dancer, educator, yoga teacher, business owner, and mum. Created to support families through movement, mindset, wellbeing, and real connection.
This is a space for parents, young people, and educators to feel seen, supported, and inspired. Through honest conversations, lived experiences, and expert guests from the worlds of performing arts, wellness, and education, we explore the real topics families are navigating today.. confidence, mental health, body image, social media, overwhelm, and more.
Each episode offers practical tools, thoughtful perspectives, and behind-the-scenes insight into why the arts and wellbeing play such an important role in shaping resilient, confident young people. Taking what we learn in the studio and bringing it into everyday life.
