if you have done yoga before in a class, but now due to baby arriving you can't get to class (as well as feeling knacked!!), try this book. it is really clear and easy to follow hatha yoga principles, including your baby. my baby loves watching the funny positions i get myself into and the massage to help him participate.
only critisim was that to do all positions and well as warmup and cooldown exersizes, would take me a whole day with a 3mth baby!!
overall gentle exersizes for mums and babies - fantastic!

Good book for mom
8 Aug 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

The most complete, careful, sensual, mom yoga book.
22 Aug 2002
Format:Paperback
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.

Finally a beautiful exercise book!
22 Aug 2002
Format:Paperback
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.
