This is an incredible guide that helps people with pelvic floor issues and those who have just given birth to understand how to heal and recover using yoga. I appreciate this book so much because I have struggled with pelvic floor issues, and I think this is something that isn't talked about enough. Treatments for this are also almost never discussed, so to have a book that literally guides you through ways to help is amazing. I loved all of the detailed descriptions and pictures, because it really helps to see exactly how the exercises should look and be performed. I loved that at the beginning of the book, the authors explained pelvic floor anatomy and what certain conditions and issues could look and feel like, and I felt very seen because I knew that I fell into some of those categories but no one else had ever told me that. I think this is an amazing guide for using yoga to help with healing the pelvic floor and recovering post partum and should definitely be read by everyone who needs it!

First off, books like this are so needed for how to take care of your body PP, and truly care for the trauma you body have been through not just “lose the baby weight.”

Pros: this book uses inclusive images, verbiage and absolutely makes the full attempt to capture most people’s PP experience. Descriptions and images are well explained and thought out. Anatomy is given for those who are interested in learning more, or the asanas week by week are available through both descriptions and easy to follow images. The back of the book discusses a ton of common PP issues or considerations from tears to C-sections to PP anxiety/depression.

Cons: I’m a huge fan of props and especially in this case props are a must PP. I appreciate the mention that props can be anything beyond yoga specific marketed props, but I would have liked to see that in images so those who do not have that available to them can get a visual better idea of alternatives to use. Lastly, in my opinion this guide is slightly out of reach for someone who may have never done yoga before. Inversions on week 2 feels unattainable for even some novice yoga practitioners.

This momma of four can not even begin to talk about how there should be more books and information on the fourth trimester for woman. You have your baby, and then you’re suppose to figure it out. But this book, was so amazing! It. Has. Pictures. Like step by step what to do, how to do, what it should look like, details of breaths and exercises. Yoga moves, breathing techniques, areas to focus on. Everything. The postpartum guide and how to gently get your pelvic floor healthy again. I was absolutely amazed and can’t wait to buy this! I alwayyyyys recommend pelvic floor to help with scar tissue and all those things, but this is pure gold to have these things you can refer to at home. Highly recommend this book to all woman! You can always improve pelvic floor and this book had it all. Thank you so much @netgalley @netatlanticbooks @rebeccaweisman @meganstansky for this advanced copy. It comes out August 19🧘🏼‍♀️🫶🏻💖 #netgalley #rebeccaweisman #meganstansky #yogaforpelvicfloorandpostpartumhealth

This book featured a lot of great information, but unfortunately the diagrams were all warped and unreadable. This was disappointing with a yoga book as being able to see the poses would have been very helpful.

Thank you Netgalley for a copy of Yoga for Pelvic Floor & Postpartum Health. I am 4 weeks PP so this couldn't have come at a better time! I love the images - They make it easy to understand the exercises for someone who really appreciates the visual aid. A lot of this information can be found on the internet, of course, but it's really nice to have it all available in one place I can refer back to, which I will certainly continue to do as I continue my postpartum journey!

Yoga for Pelvic Floor and Postpartum Health by Rebecca Weisman & Meagen Satinsky

Whilst a good few years postpartum I still found this book interesting and informative.
Good , helpful images to explain the exercises to work through and a must for anyone wanting to protect / improve their pelvic floor.
