Hi everyone! As a parent who recently started yoga (thanks to some gentle nudging from friends), I was overwhelmed at first—between finding time and figuring out which poses actually work with kids around. After trial and error, here’s what helped me: - Short sessions (10-15 mins during naps or playtime) - Kid-friendly poses (like ‘tree pose’ challenges with my toddler) - Breathwork for stress (lifesaver during chaotic days!) I stumbled on this [beginner’s guide](https://stelleworld.com/blogs/lifestyle-and-holiday-news/yoga-for-beginners) that finally made things click, but I’d love to hear any tips for staying consistent with little ones at home? ---

I always found that I was the best parent possible by getting up a bit earlier than my kids and doing a 30 minute practice. Then when they get up I am more patient, calm, happy, and they are too! Mornings vs evening is when I have energy too
