Krysta strikes again with another awesome review for postnatal yoga! This is for a book, that is actually quite "user friendly". I liked it enough that I got myself one for when I have a little baby of my own.
"This is for the overall book but specifically for the 0-3mo routine since I haven't done the later ones yet.
I
love this book. Rarely is a book able to describe yoga poses without
being confusing or vague about the technique, which is why I tend to
stick to DVDs. I feel like the authors do a great job with this and the
included photos and sketches are helpful to reinforce the poses. I also
like the concise way information is organized for the poses. There will
be a photo, instructions for the pose, helpful tips on technique or
problems you might need variations for, how the baby can be involved and
cool facts about the benefits of the pose. The 0-3 month routine is
just the right amount of stretching and mild strengthening poses to
leave you energized for the day but not overwork the muscles that are
still healing from pregnancy and childbirth. Baby will enjoy the
changing poses and interacting with you as you move through the asanas.
It is hard to describe, but everything about the approach and the way
the authors give instructions is very encouraging and empowering. I feel
ok with where I am and at peace with whatever progress I make that day.
I highly recommend this book. One thing that would be helpful though is
to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the routine or make a summary
of the poses so you don't have to worry about looking at the book and
turning pages while you are doing the routine."Thanks again, Krysta!
