This thoroughly enjoyable exercise book for new parents and their babies uses yoga as an approach to body toning and general physical fitness. It's the perfect guide for those many moms who want to exercise soon after childbirth but realize that they should do so with care. Exercises are designed to tone arms, legs, and abdominal muscles -- and there are even breathing exercises to help parents renew their energy at the same time they are soothing a fractious baby. Infants also share in these exercises. Parents will find instructions for gently manipulating their baby's limbs to maintain their natural suppleness, and ease colic and other digestive problems. At the same time, they'll be reinforcing the loving bond between parent and child. Dads are also encouraged to share in the exercises.
