Jivana Heyman

For my very first episode I got to speak with Accessible Yoga founder, Jivana Heyman. Jivana is the dad of a teenager and a young adult. We cover the whole gamut of his parenting journey thus far: from the early days of having to slow his career to tend to two babies, to the challenges of finding a village as a gay dad, to when his kids were in middle school and he was able to reignite his teaching, to the constant compassion-balance that is parenting teens and young adults.Other topics we cover:How to be your own person while also being of service to your children.The need to make postpartum support networks accessible for all parents.Parenting is the ultimate karma yoga. Remembering that when our children our teenagers is essential.Karma yoga applies to how we treat ourselves as parents, too. That is self-care.Jivana Heyman (he/him), C-IAYT, E-RYT500, is the author of Accessible Yoga: Poses & Practices for Every Body (Shambhala, 2019), and Yoga Revolution: Building a Practice of Courage & Compassion (Shambhala, 2021).
