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.

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.

In the classic Women Who Run With The Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estes tells us about the 'wild woman', the wise and ageless presence in the female psyche that gives women their creativity, energy and power.

For centuries, the 'wild woman' has been repressed by a male-orientated value system which trivialises women's emotions. Using a combination of time-honoured stories and contemporary casework, Estes reveals that the 'wild woman' in us is innately healthy, passionate and wise. Thoughtfully written and compelling in its arguments, Women Who Run With The Wolves gives readers a new sense of direction, a self confidence and purpose in their lives.
