When my daughter, Olivia, was born, I was an elementary school teacher and I decided to put my career on pause and stay at home with her. We spent at least 2 years of her life together all the time… and we both loved it! I decided to go back to work but in a different capacity as an Educational Consultant (where I could decide how much or how little I wanted to work) which was perfect. I was working in schools coaching teachers so my work schedule naturally allowed me to be at home with her in the evenings, 2-3 days during the week, and of course weekends.
In 2012, I started teaching yoga…. And that’s when my schedule changed. So naturally as a new yoga teacher I took all the classes I could get…
This is the subject of this episode…. family dynamics, changes in schedules, and the effects it has on everyone involved.
Listen as we discuss:
- How my schedule change affected her & how it made her feel
- Ways she adjusted when I had to teach yoga classes during weekends or evenings
- How we found time to spend together despite my busy teaching schedule
- Positive or negative changes in my mood or energy levels when I began to prioritize my own yoga practice, and what effect that had on her
- Changes in the atmosphere or routines at home as a result of the influence of my yoga practice
- Taking Liv to Restorative classes with me - I wanted to help her learn ways to relax and calm her mind. How she felt about going to those classes
- Times when my yoga teaching schedule clashed with a family event or commitment, and how she handled it?
- Balancing my role as a yoga teacher with my responsibilities as a parent
- Advice for other children of yoga teachers who may be struggling with shifting schedules and family dynamics
We had such a great conversation! I hope you enjoy it!
