- [I am a Yoga Teacher, Not an Acrobat](https://sarahezrinyoga.com/blogyogateachernotacrobat/) - “Be Yourself. Everyone else is taken.” Oscar Wilde Nearly three and a half years after Briohny Smyth’s now infamous “The Contortionist”, Equinox released a new video of a yogi flowing seamlessly from advanced pose to advanced pose. It is beautiful. The strength and prowess are astonishing, yet my immediate reaction was one of self-centered deprecation.
- [Back to Basics](https://sarahezrinyoga.com/back-to-basics/) - When I moved from Los Angeles to San Francisco a lot of things changed especially my body. Whereas I used to have energy to do an intense daily practice, I found myself with very different needs.

The silence lingered as the students breathed in and out. I interpreted impatience in the room, but the waves of nausea made it impossible to process anything clearly. “Was it always so hot in here?” I

I’m walking through the aisles of my local super market, an overflowing grocery basket hanging on my arm, when I spy an old friend walking towards me either stealing a cantaloupe or quite pregnant. “Oh, my gosh!” I gush as we delicately hug, “you’re having a baby?!”. She beams in response and as
- [Hello From the Other Side](https://sarahezrinyoga.com/hello-from-the-other-side/) - originally published Oct 17, 2017 on International Yoga Do you believe in magic? I do. There are places in this world with magical energy. Energy to heal people, energy to access the divine, and energy to communicate with the other side. Maui is one of those places. I started going to Maui when I was
- [Why I Had To Break-Up With Ashtanga Yoga](https://sarahezrinyoga.com/why-i-had-to-breakup-with-ashtanga/) - Why I had to Break-Up with Ashtanga Yoga I had to break up with Ashtanga yoga. We were in an unhealthily relationship for nearly ten years. I was obsessed. Slinking out of the house in the darkness before first light. Turning down dinners and gatherings with my friends and family. Watching what I ate, because Ashtanga did
- [Trigger Happy Yoga Teachers by Sarah Ezrin](https://sarahezrinyoga.com/trigger-happy-yoga-teachers/) - A gust of cold air hit my face as the door of the yoga studio swung open mid-class and promptly slammed shut. A middle-aged man clomped into the room, running shoes on, dripping sweat, clearly having come in from the middle of an exercise class. 20 pairs of eyes collectively looked back to see what
- [How I Got My Om Back: Beating the I-am-not-enough virus with purpose](https://sarahezrinyoga.com/how-i-got-my-om-back/) - Beating the I-am-not-enough virus with purpose
- [<strong>To my family & friends: it’s not personal</strong>](https://sarahezrinyoga.com/to-my-family-friends-its-not-personal/) - An unanswered text message…not personal A belated birthday wish…not personal Forgetting to ask how you are doing… Seeming distracted when we do talk... Interrupting stories and forgetting to ask you to continue… It’s not personal. You see pictures of me smiling and happy on social media and you assume, “Why can’t she just respond?” You
- [The Rocking Chair by Sarah Ezrin](https://sarahezrinyoga.com/the-rocking-chair-by-sarah-ezrin/) - I watch his tiny breath rise and fall. My heart melts. I soak it in slowly. Forward and back I glance at the clock. My heart races. Why won’t he sleep? This is taking too long. Forward and back I touch my nose gently against his scalp. The most delicious scent I have ever smelt.
- [<strong>Let’s normalize apologizing to babies by Sarah Ezrin</strong>](https://sarahezrinyoga.com/lets-normalize-apologizing-to-babies-by-sarah-ezrin/) - I dropped my phone on my baby’s head while breastfeeding once. Maybe, twice. Okay, it was a few times more than that. I wish I could say those were the only instances where I mistakenly hurt my son, but I’m clumsy by nature and when you have a baby in your arms all day long,

The milestones, the firsts. The birthdays and graduations. But what of all the tiny moments in between? It is those I want to remember the most. I will never forget the first time you smiled, but what of the second? Or third? Will I remember those, too? How
