Motherhood is the most important job in the world, and it's also the most demanding. It calls upon your every resource - mental, physical, spiritual - and while it is frequently a source of unmatched joy, it is also often depleting like nothing else. Naomi Annand shows you how yoga can help you navigate its emotional highs and lows, how to tap into the creativity of motherhood and also how to nurture yourself so that you might nurture others. Using breath-led sequences and simple two-minute life hacks, this beautiful practical companion teaches you how to soothe rattled nervous systems and uplift tired bodies whatever your age and whatever your experience.
Naomi Annand has been a yoga teacher for 20 years and a mother for seven of them. Naomi lives in east London with her family and runs her own yoga studio, Yoga on the Lane. She published Yoga: A Manual for Life in 2019 (Bloomsbury).

This book feels like an embrace. It lays open the full spectrum of what it is to be a mother and holds your hand through the joy and the love, the craziness and the exhaustion. I will be buying it for every mother I know. -- Anna Jones, author of One: Pot, Pan, Planet
Naomi Annand is such a sensitive and empathetic yoga educator. This book is beautiful, and calming and full of so much wisdom. Everything is clearly explained, and what I really love above all is that it dispels the myth of perfect yoga practice, and of perfect motherhood. * Dr Pragya Agarwal, author of Sway and (M)otherhood *
