What if the hardest thing to do in yoga isn’t on the mat — it’s staying calm when your kid rolls their eyes for the fiftieth time that day?

In this episode, I talk with Sarah Ezrin, yoga teacher and author of The Yoga of Parenting, about how the ancient principles of yoga can help us survive — and even savor — the chaos of raising humans as midlife women.

Sarah says parenting is the most advanced yoga of all, and once you hear her examples, you’ll get it.

We talk about how yoga is less about poses and more about presence — being aware of your breath, your triggers, and your connection to your kids (especially when they’re testing every ounce of patience you have).

You’ll also hear:

•Why the balance of strong and soft is the real parenting sweet spot

•What “non-attachment” actually looks like when you’ve got to get your kid out the door

•How protecting your energy is the most loving thing you can do for your family

•The one yoga principle Sarah says every parent needs to start with

This episode will make you laugh, nod, and maybe breathe a little deeper the next time you’re about to lose it.

👉 Listen now to hear some powerful midlife advice from a yoga perspective — and why Sarah says, if she rewrote her book today, she might evolve that idea even further.
