But what if the playing itself was the point??

🔥

Can I share something that completely changed how I show up.... both as a parent and as a yoga teacher?

There's a quote from the Bhagavad Gita (ancient yogic text) that says: you have a right to your actions, but never to your actions fruits. Let the effort be the goal.

I think about this all the time when I'm playing with my kids and practicing yoga playfully with them too.

Because so much of what we do as parents we're kind of hoping it leads somewhere.....Calmer kids. Better sleep. More connection. Less meltdowns. Better regulation.......And when it doesn't happen immediately we think it isn't working.

But what if the playing itself was the point?

This is what I love about the crossover between yoga philosophy and play — they're saying the same thing. Show up. Be present. Let go of the outcome. The effort is enough.

I'm Natasha by the way - family yoga teacher and single mum of two. I teach families how to practice yoga together at home, and we do that through play and connection.

If that's your kind of thing, you're very welcome to join us inside The Family Yoga Club!

And if you just want a taste — I'm running a free family yoga session right here in this group on June 17th. No experience needed. No prep. Just come as you are.

Hope to see some of you there!
