The first comprehensive anatomy and yoga practice manual for postpartum pelvic healing - a gender-inclusive guide to poses, practices, and exercises for pelvic-floor, pain, dysfunction, and recovery.

Includes full-colour photos, 7 weeks of yoga sequences, and an individualised step-by-step guided self-assessment.

Pelvic floor pain, injury, and dysfunction are incredibly common among postpartum people - but despite the critical importance of ongoing pelvic support and recovery post-birth, most doctors, physical therapists, and healing professionals simply aren't equipped to offer helpful, personalized advice to ease postpartum symptoms like postpartum pain, discomfort, urinary incontinence, and painful intercourse.

Rebecca Weisman (CIYT, CYT) and Meagen Satinsky (MPT, PYT) offer the first comprehensive anatomy and yoga practice manual geared toward healing postpartum pelvic issues. With full-colour images, accessible tools, and step-by-step poses and breathwork exercises, Yoga for Pelvic Floor and Postpartum Health empowers readers to get to know this vital part of their own body - and reclaim agency in caring for their own postpartum recovery, postural support, organ health, and sexual function.

• Part 1: Anatomy reviews the anatomy of the pelvis and surrounding regions, with a special emphasis on helping you develop a deeper, more knowledgeable, and more loving connection to your own body
  
• Part 2: Sequences of Asana for Practice introduces Iyengar yoga and breathwork practices to support pelvic healing - and guides you through a flexible 7-week asana sequence that you can do in your own time and come back to again and again
  
• Part 3: Special Topics addresses specific pelvic concerns like painful intercourse, perineal tears, Cesarean delivery, pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis rectus abdominis, urinary issues, pelvic pain during menopause, low back pain, postpartum depression and anxiety, and more

Yoga for Pelvic Floor and Postpartum Health is appropriate for any stage of your postpartum journey - whether you gave birth vaginally or by Cesarean, ten days, ten weeks, or ten years ago. With a guided self-assessment, full-colour and 3-D layered graphics, and compassionate, expert counsel, readers can return to specific poses and sequences again and again on their pelvic healing journey.

An inclusive guide for yoga teachers and practitioners to create balanced movement sequences and well-rounded classes for all students. Discover a unified theory for sequencing fresh, contemporary yoga and mindful-movement classes that reflect the diversity of modern practitioners.

Yoga instruction innovator Sage Rountree's approach to teaching grows from a simple truth: bodies feel better when they move in many different ways and directions. And when they feel better, they work to make the world a freer, more liberated place.

Yoga teacher, trainer, and bestselling author Sage Rountree draws on years of expert experience to offer a fresh, contemporary approach to yoga sequencing and mindful movement that reflects the diversity and meets the needs of the modern yogi.

Designing Yoga Sequences celebrates students of all kinds, styles, and levels. Grounded in exercise physiology while honoring yoga traditions, Rountree's new offering includes:

• Adaptable examples, templates, and preset lesson plans
• 475 inclusive photos demonstrating over 35 full sequences
• Actionable tips for increasing student accessibility
• Creative ideas for props, lighting, music, and more

Whether you're a current or aspiring teacher or advanced practitioner, you'll find here every tool you need to create inspired yoga classes and home practices. Even if you teach in a set format, like at a franchise or strongly branded studio, this yoga tool kit will help you lead students along any path with a clarity that honours all bodies.

In recent years there has been a surge in awareness surrounding the challenges experienced by menopausal women, along with impassioned calls for more specialized support from health and wellness professionals. In Yoga for Menopause and Beyond, author Niamh Daly shares how yoga teachers can help answer these calls.

Written in an open and heartfelt conversational style, this book is a reimagining of yoga viewed through the lens of menopause. It will help you understand which elements of yoga are already ideal, what may be unhelpful, and what you might add to support symptom relief, health, and self-esteem.

Daly addresses topics such as

• biochemical, physical, social, and emotional impacts of menopause;
• specific physiological effects that necessitate a changed approach to asana;
• changes to the nervous system that influence what practices we choose;
• changing health risks and how the benefits of yoga can help reduce these risks;
• using movement for comfort and pleasure through somatics and instinctual movement;
• reconsidering your language to be inclusive of the broad array of possible experiences, including trauma sensitivity;
• incorporating what you learn into a class or workshop;
• empowering women through knowledge and recommendations;
• research and the importance of transparency in offering yoga tools for menopause; and
• practical advice, for within a class and outside, including sections on nutrition and medical options.

Yoga for Menopause and Beyond is the ideal guide for anyone wishing to create a relevant and supportive yoga practice for women as they journey through menopause and into the post menopause years.

This is an English translation of Sri Prashantji's original Marathi book. This pocket-sized book opens up a whole new dimension on our understandng on how the organs and senses work. It gives us a very interesting combination of modern, physiological perspective on the organs and senses and the yogic understanding of the same.

The general understanding is that the senses of the eyes are for seeing, ears for hearing, skin for feeling and nose for smelling. This book explains how the functioning of the senses is not just mechanical like the eyes beings like cameras or the ears like a tape-recorder and how these senses are affected by the our mind, intelligence and emotions. It explains how the organs have their 'own mind' and how they are influenced by the emotions. For example, the heart beat rises with physical exercise and so also with fear.

A book which will open up our horizons and the way we 'look' at our organs and senses. Ultimately, it would naturally influence the way we practise our asanas and pranayama as these in turn influence and are influenced by our organs and senses.
