What People are Saying About Yoga Mama
Yoga Mama answered a ton of questions about which poses I can do, and which ones to leave out, and has also given me the “OK” to skip yoga on days I don’t feel well. As someone who practices daily, I really needed that permission to rest when I need it most.
I didn’t have prenatal yoga experience until I became pregnant. As my belly, I realized i needed some help from professionals. this is a great guide with really useful sequences and i’m especially valuing the chapter on pelvic floor exercises. enjoy!
This is a great book for the yogini who’s expecting. I bought it to get more insight into prenatal yoga and actually gave it as a gift to a pregnant student who has a decent home practice. It’s a good book for a teacher, but for the right student — it’s perfect.
