Baby Om: Yoga for Mothers and Babies

You’ve just had a baby, and now you have two new goals: getting back in shape and enjoying close bonding with your new arrival. How can you find the time to do both?

'Baby Om' is a dynamic, easy-to-follow, fun yoga programme specially designed for new mothers and their babies.

Laura Staton and Sarah Perron – both dancers, yoga instructors and mothers themselves - take mothers through a yoga practice that they can do with their infants. The techniques help new mothers enjoy the spiritual and physical benefits of yoga, allowing them to nurture themselves as well as their babies.

Their beautifully illustrated book includes • all the practical information you need to get started • guidelines on how to get your baby engaged, relaxed and comfortable with this new form of play • step-by-step 'Baby Om' classes, each concentrating on a unique stage in your child’s development • a special class addressing the unique needs of post caesarean mothers • poses for nursing and for soothing colic • a chapter on the benefits of yoga for postpartum depression

Safe, effective, and easy to learn, 'Baby Om' brings mother and baby together, ensuring the health and happiness of both.
