In parenthood, we realize so much is out of our control - how do we cope when things don’t go as planned? I recently had the honor of being a guest on the Woven podcast talking about my journey using the Alexander Technique as a practice during early parenthood to deal with physical and emotional stresses. This week, episode 40 of Poised & Powerful Podcast is a replay of my conversation with Evelyn Correa on her podcast, Woven! 

Feeding and caring for young children can do a number on your body - and it can be hard to find that time to take care of yourself. Join me for a restorative practice where we’ll release tension in our necks, back, and shoulders. Clear your mind so you’ll feel reset and re-energized for yourself and your family. Drop into the online Sunday night group: Restore on the Floor for parents and caregivers. https://poisedpowerfulparenthood.com/take-a-break Or sign up here to be the first to know about new classes and offers.

In this episode of Poised & Powerful Podcast, Evelyn and I discuss the following:

Using Alexander Technique in stressful parenting situationsApproaching parenthood from a skills-based perspective rather than a knowledge-based perspectiveThe reality of being a new mom and the unique struggles each of us go through, from the daily routines to the pressures we put on ourselves as moms.How we respond physiologically to stress and how we can apply Alexander Technique skills in the moment to make life easier.

Remember these - Am I seeing? Am I breathing? Am I balancing?
