Beautiful, useful, tender. -- Kathleen Baird-Murray * British Vogue * More than just a yoga manual... takes a wide-angle look at motherhood and contains bountiful tips on how to keep yourself grounded and calm. -- Hannah Ridley * Harper's Bazaar * This book feels like an embrace. It lays open the full spectrum of what it is to be a mother and holds your hand through the joy and the love, the craziness and the exhaustion. I will be buying it for every mother I know. -- Anna Jones, author of One: Pot, Pan, Planet Naomi Annand is such a sensitive and empathetic yoga educator. This book is beautiful, and calming and full of so much wisdom. Everything is clearly explained, and what I really love above all is that it dispels the myth of perfect yoga practice, and of perfect motherhood. * Dr Pragya Agarwal, author of Sway and (M)otherhood * this beautiful practical companion teaches you how to soothe rattled nervous systems, give yourslef the much-needed downtime and uplift tired bodies whatever your age and whatever your experience. * OM Yoga & Lifestyle * Gorgeous * The Green Parent *
