There’s been a quiet shift within me lately.
Motherhood has softened me in ways I didn’t expect. It’s stripped things back and shown me what practice really is.
Right now, it feels like bhakti yoga — devotion.
Not in the way I once knew it… but in the everyday moments. The showing up. The love. The presence, even when I’m exhausted and sleep deprived. The small sacred moments woven into ordinary life.
It also feels like karma yoga — giving without attachment.
Showing up in service. Offering myself fully to what’s needed. Allowing life itself to become the practice.
And deeply, it feels like Ishvara Pranidhana — surrender.
Letting go of the need to control. Releasing the grip on how I think things should look. Allowing life to move through me instead of constantly trying to direct it.
For a long time, I held tightly to what my practice looked like.
My asana.
My routines.
The structure.
The discipline.
And whilst those things supported me deeply, motherhood has asked something different of me.
To let go.
To soften.
To trust what’s here.
I’m learning to stop clinging — to how I think things should be in my practice, my business, my life — and instead allow this to be the practice.
The messy.
The beautiful.
The real.
There’s something incredibly humbling about being brought into the present moment again and again through motherhood. It strips away illusion. It asks for devotion in its truest form.
And right now, it feels amplified.
Letting go of control.
Letting go of fear around money, safety, and security.
Trusting that life is unfolding for my highest good… and the good of all.
Trusting that I am supported — by life, by the universe, and by myself.
This is where I am right now.
In the surrender.
In the flow.
In allowing life — and motherhood — to become my practice.
Maybe this season isn’t asking us to do more.
Maybe it’s asking us to trust more.
To soften into what already is.
To stop resisting the lessons unfolding before us.
To honour that our spiritual practice doesn’t only exist on the mat, but within the way we live, love, serve, and surrender each day.
What is life asking of you right now?
Where are you being invited to surrender?
And how is your spiritual practice expressing itself through your life?
