Product Description

A dynamic yoga program for new mothers and their babies

How does a new mother get back her shape without giving up precious time with her baby? In Baby Om, authors Laura Staton and Sarah Perron -- both dancers, yoga instructors, and moms themselves -- answer the new mother's need for a calming and rigorous way to align and strengthen her body while having fun with her baby. Based on their popular New York classes of the same name, Baby Om takes mothers through a yoga practice they can do with their infants -- anytime and anywhere. The techniques help new mothers enjoy the spiritual and physical benefits of yoga, allowing them to nurture themselves as well as their babies. This easy-to-use book includes:

--Baby Om basics -- the practical information you need to get started
--baby engagement -- how to play with and stimulate your baby during yoga
--four step-by-step Baby Om classes -- each concentrating on a unique stage in your child's development

The beautiful illustrations and photographs in Baby Om capture the intimate sharing between mother and child, and create a visual model for how to achieve the poses at home. Safe, effective, and easy to learn, Baby Om brings mother and baby together, ensuring the health and happiness of both.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most complete, careful, sensual, mom yoga book., August 21, 2002
By A Customer
I have not done that much yoga in my lifetime and liked the idea of learning yoga with my 3 month old baby girl. I was afraid the books would not be able to tell me how to do the poses correctly, but there are no mother/baby yoga classes around where I live so I thought I would try the simple poses and see how it went. I looked at all the books online and at the book store and picked this one because the quality seemed to be better that a similar book, so I took a chance. I was very happy to find the instructions for the poses were very easy to follow and my mother who does yoga everyday said that my poses were very good and it looked like I had been taking alot of classes -- not only could she not believe that I learned it all from a book but with a small baby there on my hip! The messages are very good for overtired cranky babies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for mom, August 8, 2005
By Blissful Mama (Charlottesville VA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved this book for postpartum yoga - it has a special section for cesarean moms, which was the reason I bought it. It has series of gradually increasing challenge, which I also like. However, I found it WAY too hard to incorporate my baby at first. Having a c section, it was hard enough to get in and out of the poses. Also, my newbron needs lots of attention and its hard to relax and focus on myself. Maybe this will change with time. Also, in terms of the baby interactions segments of each series, Baby Om was a little demanding of its babies - these sections included a full body massage and several exercise movements all in one sequence, and encouraged the mom to "keep trying" when baby resisted - my baby did not like this. I prefer Itsy Bitsy Yoga for baby yoga, as it gives very useful tips (such as going slow, stopping if baby is unhappy, etc) and offers different poses based on small developmental steps. A great book for moms, especially c section moms, but not the best for baby in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a beautiful exercise book!, August 21, 2002
By A Customer
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.
