Purchase options and add-ons
A dynamic yoga program for new mothers and their babies
How does a new mother get back her shape without giving up precious time with her baby? In Baby Om, authors Laura Staton and Sarah Perron -- both dancers, yoga instructors, and moms themselves -- answer the new mother's need for a calming and rigorous way to align and strengthen her body while having fun with her baby. Based on their popular New York classes of the same name, Baby Om takes mothers through a yoga practice they can do with their infants -- anytime and anywhere. The techniques help new mothers enjoy the spiritual and physical benefits of yoga, allowing them to nurture themselves as well as their babies. This easy-to-use book includes:
--Baby Om basics -- the practical information you need to get started
--baby engagement -- how to play with and stimulate your baby during yoga
--four step-by-step Baby Om classes -- each concentrating on a unique stage in your child's development
The beautiful illustrations and photographs in Baby Om capture the intimate sharing between mother and child, and create a visual model for how to achieve the poses at home. Safe, effective, and easy to learn, Baby Om brings mother and baby together, ensuring the health and happiness of both.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2017This is my fave yoga book hands down, I recommend it greatly. I have been doing yoga for 20+ years but it's very simple and well explained, so that anybody can enjoy yoga with their little one.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2005I 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2013i get to actually do yoga with my high-energy baby, not just putting him on the floor. creative and fun.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2016I love that this is a yoga book for me that incorporates the baby. I love the Itsy Bitsy Yoga books as well, but those are more fire baby that incorporates mom. I'm really enjoying it so far.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2018NOTE: photos in book are in black and white inside. Not a big deal to us. Just mentioning it to others :)
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2011The book gives good yoga poses for moms, and I like the suggestions for things you can do with your baby. My boy really likes it! I wish the book were spiral-bound so that it would lay flat on the floor next to me, and I wish the page layouts were tuned a little better to the progression of poses - very minor complaints, especially once you've done the classes a few times and get the routine down.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2017as a mom and baby yoga teacher I love this resource. Beautifully and warmly written
- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2015Daughter n law loves this book.
