About the book

Breathing Space for New Mothers by Alison Rogers is a novel for adult readers.

A humorous and gentle approach to becoming a new mom, with space to breathe, do yoga, and be "good enough," even if it's only through a one-minute yoga pose at a time. A gentle and novel guide to new motherhood - one that encourages women to take time to breathe, embrace their experiences, and be "good enough"-one yoga minute at a time Yoga instructor Alison Rogers and coauthor Erin O.

White forge a new path through contemporary motherhood with their collection of gentle suggestions for beginning and deepening a home yoga practice for new mothers. From the warm-up of first days with a newborn to the wobbly-but-standing postures of confident new motherhood, Breathing Space for New Mothers encourages women to notice and nurture their feelings and foster self-compassion to approach motherhood with curiosity instead of fear, improvisation instead of rigidity, and humor instead of worry. The authors offer mothers a singular message: your well-being matters as much as your baby's.
