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.
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.”
—Hala Khouri, M.A., SEP, E-RYT, author of Peace from Anxiety
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?

“With depth, storytelling, and experience Sarah Ezrin draws from the wisdom of yoga philosophy to bring empathy and appreciation to parenting, reminding readers that parenthood is a valuable and important spiritual practice in its own right. I wish I had The Yoga of Parenting when I was raising my kids. Fortunately, the benefits of this book extend to parents, like me, who are beyond the early intensive parenting years. I love this book!”
