52. Yoga & Parenting: Healing Postpartum Anxiety with Sarah Ezrin

Motherhood changes everything, especially the way we move, breathe, and connect with ourselves. In this soulful episode, I sit down with Sarah Ezrin, author of The Yoga of Parenting, to discuss how yoga evolves after childbirth.

Sarah shares her journey through postpartum anxiety, a traumatic delivery, and the deep healing that came from redefining what yoga meant to her, not just poses, but stillness, movement, breath, and community. Together, we explore how motherhood can transform our relationship with our bodies and our practice, inviting more compassion, creativity, and presence into everyday life.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself after becoming a mother, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible, one mindful breath at a time.

🌿 We explore

* How yoga can support postpartum anxiety and emotional healing

* The impact of COVID-19 isolation on new mothers

* Why traditional yoga didn’t work for Sarah — and what actually did

* How to rebuild a connection with your body after birth

* The philosophy behind The Yoga of Parenting

* What real postpartum recovery looks like beyond “bounce-back” culture

* Simple yoga and mindfulness practices for busy moms
