(#79) Yoga, Motherhood & Rebirth: Finding Identity, Boundaries & Nervous System Healing with Parashakti Alexandra
Manage episode 485415388 series 3499633
In this heartfelt and expansive episode, I’m joined by Parashakti Alexandra - yoga teacher, sacred space holder, and new mother, as she shares her powerful journey through yoga, pregnancy, motherhood, and rediscovering her authentic self.
Together we explore:
🌿 The philosophy and ethics of yoga (yamas & niyamas) as spiritual guideposts for boundaries, identity, and self-trust
🌿 How pregnancy transformed her yoga practice from asana-focused to prayerful and intuitive
🌿 Why modern motherhood often feels overwhelming—and how lack of community support, not the child, is the root cause
🌿 The importance of co-regulation and adult nervous system support in postpartum wellness
🌿 Reclaiming your individual identity within motherhood—and honoring your soul’s unique evolution
🌿 What it truly means to live your yoga off the mat
This is a must-listen for anyone navigating life transitions, identity shifts, or the sacred terrain of motherhood and healing.
