A unique way to see and process the motherhood experience through
the lens of yoga, Whole Mama Yoga covers all phases and stages of
becoming and being a mother or birth parent—offering a way to
extend yoga’s gifts and tools for all who parent. Women are drawn
to yoga for its physical benefits, its ability to induce calm and
presence, and its offering of spiritual depth. Whole Mama Yoga
offers a way to extend yoga’s gifts into the motherhood
experience and offers guidance that eases not just physical
discomforts but existential ones. Many moms and birth parents
balance boundless love and boredom, overwhelming joy and moments of
isolation, self-confidence and self-doubt. Yoga provides an
opportunity to practice the much needed body love and
self-connection many parents need. Accessible to new yoga students,
advanced yoga practitioners, and yoga teachers alike, Whole Mama
Yoga is for parents with children of all ages. It is for those just
thinking about beginning a family, those in the early stages of
pregnancy, those getting close to labor and delivery, and for those
new moms, who often feel harried and overwhelmed. This is a book to
reference as children grow, change, and become little (and big)
people. With yoga poses at the core of the text, yogi moms and
instructors Alexandra DeSiato and Lauren Sacks offer helpful
information in movement offerings that meet all moms and birth
parents where they are. Organized into sections titled Relate,
Move, Reflect, Wisdom, and Breathe, Whole Mama Yoga provides
breathing techniques, suggestions for meditation and mantra,
inspiring tidbits of yoga philosophy, funny and uplifting stories
from yoga-moms, and journal prompts that allow readers to reflect
on their own experience of parenthood.
