“I can say without a doubt that the most advanced yoga I’ve ever done is raising a child,”

– Sarah Ezrin, excerpted from
The Yoga of Parenting

While many people think of yoga as poses on a mat, this book supports people in bringing the spiritual principles of yoga into their lives—particularly their families. Sarah guides readers and practitioners in slowing down, becoming present, and acting with more compassion with our children and ourselves.

Each chapter highlights a yogic posture and theme and explores how it relates to parenting, including presence, boundaries, balance, and nonattachment. Chapters include prompts such as intention setting, breathwork, and journaling.The book also features the stories and insights of a wide range of yoga practitioner parents whose experiences include single parenting, and grandparenting (because we know that parenting doesn’t stop when our kids grow up)!

Its like a long slow exhale, creating space for reflection
in the midst of the chaos

“The Yoga of Parenting is a soothing balm for all of us who have the privilege
and challenge of caring for children. It’s like a long slow exhale, creating space
for reflection in the midst of the chaos.

Sarah Ezrin reminds us that parenting is a spiritual journey made up of
opposites – of connection and separation, intimacy and boundaries, inhales
and exhales.She offers us yoga teachings and practices to balance those opposites and
cultivate a meaningful and peaceful family life.”

—Jivana Heyman, author of Accessible Yoga and Yoga Revolution

Book features

Forget handstands and arm balances, the most advanced yoga parents ever do is raising children. If we are willing to slow down and look at our stuff, parenthood can provide a powerful lens for us to get to know ourselves more deeply. Much like when we are on our yoga mats, it is a place in our lives where we can observe our tendencies and learn how to shift our behaviors.

In this book you will learn:

Practicing yoga can help us become kinder to ourselves, more aware of our thoughts and actions, and more present in our lives. What more important sphere to want to become kinder, more aware, and more present than with our families?

Each chapter includes:

I wish I had The Yoga of Parenting when I was raising my kids

The Yoga of Parenting—testimonials

Octavia Raheem - Author of Pause, Rest, Be: Stillness Practices for Courage in Times of Change and Gather


"A central question for many parents who practice yoga is this: How to leverage the structure and power of on the mat yoga practice within the constantly changing, unpredictable, and hardly structured real life of being a parent? Sarah Ezrin responds to this question in a generous, insightful, and practical way in The Yoga of Parenting. Clear-sighted and firmly rooted in the everyday reality of parenting, her book reminds the reader that in the realm of parenting practice does not make “perfect.” Practice makes possible."

Hala Khouri, M.A., SEP, E-RYT Author of Peace from Anxiety: Get Grounded, Build Resilience and Stay Connected Amidst the Chaos


"The Yoga of Parenting is not just for people familiar with yoga, it is accessible, relatable, and transformative for people with a longtime practice and those who never thought yoga was for them. Sarah skillfully weaves in storytelling, wisdom, and reflection to make this a truly practical guide for parents and caregivers on the messy and humbling journey of raising a human. Raising a child can break us or grow our soul, yoga philosophy can offer a framework for allowing parenting to be the latter while acknowledging our humanity."
