Produktbeschreibung

'Beautiful, useful, tender.' - British Vogue

'Gorgeous' - The Green Parent

'More than just a yoga manual' - Harper's Bazaar

A beautiful and nurturing yoga guide for new mothers.

Motherhood is the most important job in the world, and it's also the most demanding. It calls upon your every resource - mental, physical, spiritual - and while it is frequently a source of unmatched joy, it is also often depleting like nothing else.

Naomi Annand shows you how yoga can help you navigate its emotional highs and lows, how to tap into the creativity of motherhood and also how to nurture yourself so that you might nurture others.

Using breath-led sequences and simple two-minute life hacks, this beautiful practical companion teaches you how to soothe rattled nervous systems and uplift tired bodies whatever your age and whatever your experience.
