Book Review On "The Yoga Of Parenting." A Transformative Guide!
I laughed. I cried. I contemplated. Reading this book was like sitting with a wise friend and coach.
"The Yoga of Parenting" by Sarah Ezrin, is a transformative guide that seamlessly blends the ancient wisdom of yoga with the challenges and joys of modern parenting. Written with compassion, insight, and a deep understanding of both yoga and the nuances of raising children, Sarah presents a refreshing perspective on parenting as a spiritual journey.
One of my favorite new practices from this book was Sarah encouraging the reader to consciously breath every hour. I started setting my timer every hour, and saw how time and my mindset changed with this simple reminder to stop and breath at a regular pace throughout the day. I began to let go of thoughts and anxieties so that I was present in the moment. I am more calm throughout the day now.
The book has a great structure. It is both philosophical and practical. I just loved how Sarah is open about her relatable flaws and believes in our natural ability to parent. It is an unusual parenting book in that the practices focus on how to help ourselves, as parents, be more grounded, and realign with our natural goodness.
The writing style is both accessible and engaging, making complex yogic concepts relatable to a broad audience. Whether the reader is a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, the book provides valuable insights and practical tools that can benefit any parent seeking a more mindful and compassionate approach to raising their children.
"The Yoga of Parenting" is a thought-provoking and inspiring guide that seamlessly integrates the principles of yoga into the realm of parenting. Sarah’s wisdom, combined with practical exercises, humor and a nurturing tone, makes this book a valuable resource for parents on a quest for a more mindful and fulfilling parenting experience.
