025. Meditation and Parenting through Yoga Pt II - Gita Matlock

Gitas Meditation Journey (Part II)

Show Notes

In this episode we continue Gita's Journey with meditation (part 1 here). In the previous episode, she shared how she felt her life was almost too easy and too good for her to need meditation on a regular basis. As it does, life then gave her a big road bump. This ultimately gave her the impetus she needed to commit to a daily meditation practice.

She also discusses how yogic tools and teachings have folded into her life as a parent. She shares how she now is sharing the tools of yoga with her kids, as well as how she manages to find the time while being a busy, present mother, consultant, and active member of her community.
