Why yoga is good for parents 💕
🌿 Ever feel like your nerves are constantly on edge - especially as a parent?
Between the noise, the mess, and the endless “MUM!” or “DAD!” calls, it’s no wonder our nervous systems stay in fight-or-flight. But here’s the beautiful truth: you can train your body to feel safe again.
💛 Gentle yoga can calm your nervous system, lower your heart rate and blood pressure, and expand your window of tolerance; that inner zone where you can stay calm, think clearly, and respond with patience (even when life feels loud).
I just wrote a new blog all about this - how simple movements and mindful breathing can help you shift from reactivity to receptivity, so parenting feels a little lighter and a lot more connected.
✨ In this post, you’ll find:
