  Yoga Journal's Postnatal Yoga - DVD
Mothering a new baby is one of life's most fulfilling and challenging experiences. The practice of yoga helps you cultivate a conscious, loving connection with yourself at a time when the changes in your life are profound. Led by long-time yoga teacher Shriva Rea, Postnatal Yoga is designed to support you in recovery from the physical, emotional and spiritual stresses of giving birth, and to empower your daily life as the mother of a newborn. This practice strengthens and de-stresses muscles overworked by tending to a baby around the clock, and helps ease the stress of sleep deprivation, baby's tears and family tensions. Modifications enable you to honor your body's limitations to safely and gently recover your strength. To maintain joy in the demands of motherhood, it is essential that you find ways to nourish yourself. This yoga practice extends a daily invitation to deepen your relationship with yourself, your baby, your family and your world. Includes Three Progressive Sequences: Center your awareness as you rebuild pelvic muscles and abdominals. Strengthen abs and lower back, open hips and stabilize spine. And Maintain balance while creating power in legs and lower body. Props Recommended: Mat, Blanket, Block, Bolster, Chair - DVD - 60 Minutes
