In this episode of Yoga Solutions, I connect with the incredible Sarah Ezrin to dive deep into the intersection of yoga, mental health, and motherhood. Sarah, a long-time yoga teacher, writer, and now a maternal mental health advocate, shares her journey and how yoga has been a pivotal part of her life, especially through the transformative experiences of becoming a mother and dealing with postpartum anxiety. Together, we discuss the challenges of early motherhood and the immense pressure that new parents face, which is often exacerbated by the lack of adequate support systems.
Sarah emphasizes the importance of finding space and grounding through simple yet profound practices, whether it’s through mindful breathing, connecting with nature, or incorporating yoga into daily life with children. Sarah’s insights offer valuable guidance on navigating the complexities of parenting with grace and mindfulness, reminding us of the power of yoga to create calm amidst chaos.
