The Evolving Yoga Practice of a Mother: Surrender, Growth, and Transformation

In today's episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony Slater and Russell Case explore a deeply relatable topic: the intersection of motherhood and a dedicated yoga practice. Joining them is Bibi Lorenzetti, a seasoned Ashtanga yogi, mother, and owner of the Newburgh Shala in New York. Together, they explore the complexities, the triumphs, and the inherent imperfections of maintaining a meaningful practice amidst the ever-evolving demands of parenting.

Here are some of the themes discussed in this insightful episode:

  • The shifting focus from physically demanding asana to the deeper, more spiritual aspects of yoga as motherhood unfolds.
  • The concept of faith ('Shraddha') and how it supports both a yoga practice and the journey of parenthood.
  • Embracing the inevitable imperfections and frustrations that arise in both yoga and mothering.
  • The importance of finding community and support as a yogi mother, and the responsibility to preserve the lineage of these ancient practices.

This episode offers a refreshing and honest perspective on motherhood's impact on a dedicated yoga practice. Whether you're a parent, a yogi, or simply seeking balance in life, you'll discover valuable insights and a sense of shared experience within this conversation.
