Every mother is the first Guru, the one who transmits life to her children. My friend and Yogini Vivian Clemens shares how Yoga revealed to her that the nurturing force of reality was always within her. We speak of Yoga motherhood and the unity of existence. Vivian shares her own story of moving from fear and suffering into freedom through daily Yoga practice and how that change has shaped her daughters, her teaching, and her way of being in the world.

Vivian lives in the German Alps where she teaches Yoga to her local community and online. She is co- translator into German of my book, Hridaya Yogasutra. We speak of bringing children into Yoga, the grace of suffering, and the recognition that Yoga is participation in the nurturing force of the cosmos. This is a story of motherhood Yoga and the healing of generational pain through the direct experience of unity.

Yoga and Motherhood – The first Guru is the mother and children receive Yoga through her daily practice.

Generational Healing Through Yoga – Daily Yoga practice ends cycles of trauma and opens space for health and freedom.

The Grace of Suffering – Pain can be a powerful motive that brings sincerity to Yoga practice and real transformation.

Unity of Life – Yoga reveals that body, breath, and cosmos are one movement and that life itself is love.

The Nurturing Force of Reality – Each person is the Shakti, the mother force that cares for and sustains life.

Yoga as Community and Sharing – Teaching is the simple act of sharing practice and experience in family and in the local community.

You are the beauty. You are the intelligence. You are already in perfect harmony with life. You don’t need to seek it. You need only participate in it.
