WANTcast: The Women Against Negative Talk Podcast THE YOGA OF PARENTING: Rigorous Honesty + Conscious Human-ing with Sarah Ezrin
When we talk about parenting, are we just talking about the kids or are we actually talking about relationships? When we talk about yoga, are we just talking about the poses or are we actually talking about life?
Sarah Ezrin would argue: YES. We can learn so much about ourselves and how we walk through the world through these two things.
