strictly for posers
A celebrated L.A. yoga guru gives new moms powerful moves and soothing meditations.
Imagine a pregnancy-and-beyond book that is practical, enlightening and expertly
written, one that offers expectant and new moms wisdom, tips and inspiration for
achieving everything from better skin to marital bliss. Bountiful, Beautiful,
Blissful, (St. Martin's Press, 2003) by renowned yoga teacher and author Gurmukh
is way more than just a boring book of exercises. The lovely-to-look-at volume
explores pregnancy, birth and parenting on an emotional as well as a spiritual
level. Of course there are exercises inside, including moves designed to promote
strong arms (a must for lugging around baby and his copious gear), better nursing
and more restful sleep. What more could a new mom want?
$24.95, available at
bookstores nationwide or 323-936-4172; goldenbridgeyoga.com.
