What should I have used for this?

Wow, yeah, that's way too much solid peach for the small amount of yogurt. If you let the peaches thaw a bit, or entirely, it should blend. Was that really the amounts they told you? That would be mostly peaches with a tiny bit of yogurt.

Was the recipe for peach yogurt of peach frozen yogurt? A Vitamix could probably handle that but the consistency would not be that of yogurt because of the frozen peaches. That'd be an impossibly thick smoothie/sorbet texture. Both because of them being frozen and the sheer quantity. Also that ratio is more like peaches with a little bit of yogurt as opposed to yogurt with peaches - it's an 8:1 ratio.

You would very likely have better luck with a food processor than a blender but you might still have some issues with the frozen peaches. You could also cut said frozen peach pieces in half which would make it easier on the blender/food processor.

So I tried to make my own peach yogurt today with .5 cup of unflavored greek yogurt and 4 cups of frozen peaches. That was the recipe. The problem is my blender couldn't handle it. Not enough liquid maybe? What kind of blender should I be using? Or is there some other trick I'm missing?

Less peaches to yogurt. I'd say half as much peach as the yogurt. So if you use only 1/2 c yogurt maybe just a couple of frozen peach slices.
Let the peaches thaw and it will be easier to blend.
A food processor might work better than a blender.

Yes, it was for frozen yogurt. I think regular yogurts have a disgusting texture

Oh ok, in that case the proportions aren't particularly shocking. That makes much more sense now! Do use a food processor though (unless you just so happen to have a heavy duty blender, like a Vitamix). The other logical option would be to use unfrozen peaches, blend those with the yogurt, and dump it all in an ice cream maker - that assumes you have an ice cream maker though.
