In this episode, I sit down with Corinne Andrews, co-owner/director of Yoga Center Amherst and Shraddha Yoga, developer of the Birthing Mama Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga & Wellness Teacher Training and author of the new book "Birthing Mama." We discuss how motherhood became an unexpected and life-changing opportunity for her to be true to her higher Self, how you can approach the act of conception, pregnancy and parenting spiritually (whether you are male or female), how to develop a relationship with the Divine Mother and thereby approach parenting in a truly empowered and sublime way and much more. This episode is perfect for anyone who is or has ever considered becoming a parent, to learn more about how you can approach this experience as a way to deepen your spiritual practices from the moment you even consider the possibility of parenthood.
