Ep 5: Respond, Don't React: Clara Roberts-Oss on Conscious Parenting & Embodied Spirituality
Description
If you've ever snapped at someone you love and hated yourself for it — this one's for you.
Clara Roberts-Oss is a Vancouver-based Vinyasa Flow master trained under the legendary Shiva Rea, who has spent decades exploring how yoga's ancient wisdom applies to the messiest, most humbling job there is — raising children consciously.
In this conversation we explore embodied spirituality and what it actually means to respond rather than react — in parenting, in relationships, and in a world moving faster than any of us signed up for. We get into the philosophy of tapas (discipline without rigidity), the nervous system regulation underneath presence itself, and how AI is quietly reshaping human consciousness in ways we haven't begun to reckon with.
Most of us try to parent from our heads. This is a conversation about learning to parent — and live — from the body instead.
