When I became a mother, I had already been
a regular yoga practitioner for over a decade. It was a part of my daily
ritual, my lifeblood, my sanity. Though, something happened to my practice
after I gave birth. It changed. MAJORLY. Not to mention the immense changes
during pregnancy I had already encountered, this was a whole `nother thang. My
body was SO different now. My mind, my breath, everything!
With these changes, I struggled to find who
I was in this new role. I felt insecure and lost somehow as I became a human
pacifier whose body no longer belonged to her. Thankfully, the yoga continued
to keep me sane and give me a breath of fresh air. My practice became less
about building confidence through handstands and more about surrendering to my
breath during a crying fit. Yoga continues to support me through the ever changing
ebb and flow of my life as I keep growing into this mamahood.
During this current stage, connecting to my
breath and other like-minded mamas has been the key for me to keep moving
forward. It has allowed me to be supported in a way that helps me to love my
new practice, my new body, and being a new mom.
