Sarah’s debut book The Yoga of Parenting: 10 Yoga-Based Practices to
Help You Stay Grounded, Connect with your Kids, and Be Kind to
Yourself is due out through Shambhala Publications Summer ‘23!!!
– 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)!
“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
Hi loves,
Let’s get real: Pre-orders are EVERYTHING in today’s age of publishing. It tells publishers and booksellers that we are sellable writers and sets us up for potential future books (you want me to write more, right? right?). That said, it would mean SOOO MUCH to me if you could preorder lots and lots of books…just kidding ONE BOOK; One is amazing! And as a big THANK YOU for doing so, you will receive not one, but three bonus gifts, including a flow class, a meditation, and a second whole-a$$ e-book with HUNDREDS of years of collective yoga, parenting, and life wisdom. That’s a lot of supportive tools to add to your kit. Love you and huge thanks in advance.
This bonus e-book (yes! a whole a$$ FREE book!) weaves together HUNDREDS of years of collective wisdom from some of the book’s favorite parents. These beautiful stories are shared alongside the incredible artwork of Maggie Eileen Lochtenberg (illustrator for the best-selling book Radiant Rest). Get ready to feel seen and in community through these shared stories. Each parent offers
practical tools not just for parenting, but for life.
Let’s get real. Getting to the mat for any length of time can feel impossible as parents, especially when our kids are still quite young. This short but mighty flow shows us that we don’t need hours on the mat to find our feet or feel present. We simply need to show up.
You’re going to mess up. Yup, I said it. I already messed up multiple times today and it’s not even lunchtime. We are human; perfectly imperfect humans. The kinder we can be to ourselves on the other side of these blunders, not only will we be able to reconnect to our kids more quickly, but we model self-compassion.
“Mom-ing is hard; yoga can help. This optimistic book offers empathy,
followed by gentle techniques for grounding and connecting so that your
practice can uplift your parenting.”
—Lizzie Lasater, yoga teacher, designer, and mother of twins
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.
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?

“ I’ve often described Sarah to my colleagues as ‘an editor’s dreamwriter.’ I am impressed by not only her expansive yoga knowledge, but also her superb writing skills (and her perpetual desire to hone them), her receptiveness to feedback and keen ability to implement it seamlessly, her innovative article pitches, and her super-quick turn around. Sarah never misses a beat and has a knack for putting a unique and intriguing spin on yoga-related topics and more. And perhaps most importantly, Sarah’s writing is relatable, inclusive, and compassionate—she has a clear desire to ensure that all of her readers feel validated. It’s rare to find a writer with so much knowledge, experience, and confidence who also approaches her topics—and her readers—with such kindness and care.”
