Book Reviews of Baby Om: Yoga for Mothers and Babies
Book Review: Perfect combination and integration!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is exactly what I was looking for... it offers a great yoga workout in each stage of postpartum recovery and getting back into shape, and it also integrates your infant. A lot of programs are either primarily focused on the infant (and, let's face it, we as new moms are the ones who need the workout and the release that comes with it), or forget the baby altogher having you leave your little one lying next to you (which is impossible once they become mobile). This book combines both and integrates yogic movements with your baby and without, depending on the move, as well as giving tips on infant stimulation throughout the practice. It also teaches different asanas to practice based on the age of your infant. It is the perfect yoga book for new moms!Book Review: Save Yourself Some Time by Stocking up for Baby Showers
Summary: 5 Stars
This gorgeous, inspiring book ALMOST makes me think about having another baby just so I can experience "Baby Om" first hand.The instructions for each pose are concise and complete, the illustrations and graphics are easy to understand and the pictures are priceless. Also included is a Chapter on the Birth Process itself, written from a very realistic and open point of view.
The "Mom's Boxes" provide some first hand experiences which affirm the teachings and offer insights from a different -- beginner-mind-esque (I think I just made up a new word!) point of view written by practitioners of Baby Om.
I am stocking up on this one to give to anyone with a new born or for a unique, really useful and bound to be treasured forever.
Book Review: Very Complete
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book to be very complete, with details on body positioning/benefits/etc. for each pose/exercise for you and your baby as well as many variations to make it work for you and your baby. They also included some information on baby massage and a special workout for c-section recovery. Its worth reading a few times before you dive into a workout to choose what you want to do and how you want to do it, rather than read while doing the workout and getting bogged down in all the options.Book Review: Finally a beautiful exercise book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Over the years I have bought alot of work out books and found them to be quite depressing. All the pictures would remind me of a bad gym class in the seventh grade. Baby Om far surpassed the other books I have bought in terms of quality. The writing and photos match the state of mind I want to acheive. So I picked this book because it was the best looking . . . and found it was jam packed with poses, exercises, baby messages, and lots of other good info. Great baby shower present.Book Review: thank you Baby Om....
Summary: 5 Stars
Baby Om is a wonderful way to get back on your feet after child birth. Yoga gives my son and I an opportunity to really connect with each other while I get a chance to get my body back in shape again. I really like the fact that the asanas are actually challenging, unlike most other yoga books I have come across. I plan on buying Baby Om for all of my pregnant friends.
