Little Lotus Instructor Spotlight: Edith Parinas

November 30, 2016

We decided we would like you to get to know our instructors a little better, so we came up with a quick Q&A. We would like to introduce you to our instructor Edith, here is her Q&A…

Tell us how you fell in love with yoga?edithpic

This is such an awesome question because I keep falling in love with yoga over and over again. My first love with yoga landed when I had a big cry during camel pose. The instructor held such a supportive space for me to be vulnerable. I left that class feeling a million times lighter and with more clarity.

What can clients expect from your classes?

When you come to a yoga class, you will move through a fun, and challenging practice while building a space of ease and relaxation. The emphasis in my teaching is to develop an inner awareness, learn about body alignment and strength making a wide range of poses accessible.

What sort of things do you love to do outside of the yoga studio?

I love being a new mom! With my bundle of joy has come a fascination of learning about birth. I am currently studying to be a Registered Doula. I also love dancing, singing, sewing and crocheting.

Did you find your yoga practice changed at all after having a child?

Getting back on the mat was very challenging. I experienced postpartum preeclampsia and the lingering effects for 6 months after I gave birth. Prior and during my pregnancy, I was very active and had a vigorous practice. I’ve been challenged to slow down a lot. This is the beauty of yoga, intuitively you can create an inner awareness of what your body, spirit and mind need.

What is 1 thing that people may not know about you?

I have a pretty badass moonwalk! Haha!

Reflecting on 2023: A whirlwind of joy! 🌟 End Reflecting on 2023: A whirlwind of joy! 🌟 

Endless sporting events with the trio, weekly adventures on the road, and a precious new niece stealing our hearts with smiles and snuggles. Countless coffees and 12% margaritas savored, poolside float sessions, Bella’s spa day dreams fulfilled, and Rhiannon blossoming into a pre-teen. Dom shining in a leadership role with young ones, Bella’s triumph mastering the back handspring, and our cuddly, anxious Bear always by my side. Grateful for a patient husband who embraces my shenanigans, mood swings, and daily coffee rituals. Here’s to the beautiful chaos of 2023! 🎉

My middle, my Bella…..a true force of determination and passion! 🌈 From building up her confidence to moving mountains, she’s on a journey that’s nothing short of inspirational. 🏔️✨

With the right supports and an unwavering belief in herself, she has become a powerhouse of strength and resilience. 🌟

🔥 **Confidence Unleashed:** Every step she takes is a testament to the incredible things that happen when you believe in yourself.

🎯 **Passion on Fire:** The fire in her eyes and the dedication she brings to her athletic abilities are awe-inspiring. She doesn’t just love her sport; she lives and breathes it with intensity.

And this proud mama? Will continue to support her in whatever way we can. Just a year ago she was so apprehensive to move forward in her tumbling but she built up her confidence and there is no stopping her now!

Thank you Ryan from @lawsofmotion_ottawa for your constant support and expertise!!
