Effort and Ease in Yoga: Finding Balance with Sthira Sukham Asanam

Yoga teaches us sthira sukham asanam—a steady, comfortable seat. This phrase reminds us that every posture, every breath, every moment should hold both effort and ease. And this lesson doesn’t stop on the mat. Birth, parenting, work, relationships… all of it requires both.

So how do we practice this balance? Here are some ways to invite both strength and softness into your yoga.

Tapas – The Fire That Transforms

This July, we turn our focus inward to explore the concept of Tapas, one of the Niyamas in the yogic path, often translated as "discipline," "austerity," or more poetically, "the inner fire." Tapas is the heat that builds when we commit to a practice—especially when it’s uncomfortable. It’s what keeps us coming back to our mat, to our breath, and to ourselves when things feel overwhelming.

What would you tell a new parent considering taking prenatal or baby & me yoga classes?

I 100% recommend classes at PYLV. Of course the classes themselves are great, you learn a lot and move your body in ways geared towards motherhood, but what really stands out to me is the community and safe space that has been curated. As a more introverted person, that has been something difficult to find. Everyone is so welcoming and it’s easily the highlight of my week!

June 2024 Student of the Month

When did you start taking classes with PYLV?

I started taking classes in February of 2023 when I was about 2 months pregnant. Angela made it so easy to get started and I loved that I could start with zoom classes, especially as I was battling severe morning sickness during my first trimester. I was then able to attend classes in person after the morning sickness subsided, and thanks to Angela it was easy to shift from zoom to in person classes. I always felt very welcomed.
