One of the first of its kind, this is an authoritative and professional yoga therapy text offering a comprehensive overview of postpartum conditions and guidance on how to manage them using yoga therapy as both a lens and a toolbox. Rather than focussing on returning a woman's body to its pre-birth condition, this guide recentres emphasis on the mother's healing in body, mind, and spirit and guides practitioners in how to facilitate this transition. This book is centred on the pancamaya model which views the individual as a composite of five separate but interrelated layers including the physical, the breath-energetic, the psycho-emotional, the capacity for discernment, and awe. Split into five sections based on these layers, this guide will cover common postpartum issues alongside contemporary supporting research, as well as the best yoga therapy tools to address each concern. This evidence-based resource is invaluable for practitioners who want to help facilitate the postpartum healing journey.
Julia Romano, MA, MA, MS, is a Certified Yoga Therapist in private practice, focusing on the challenges and lessons that arise from life's many transitions. She leads workshops guiding newly postpartum women through each layer of self so that they may find healing. She infuses her offering of yoga therapy with teachings and tools gleaned from her training in International Conflict Management and Clinical Psychology. As supervisor to yoga therapists and co-creator of a 200-hour yoga teacher training based in Washington, DC, Romano finds joy in helping new yoga teachers and yoga therapists alike discern their path. Author and poet, Romano is the creator of the Substack Site Mark Upon the Infinite: Parenting While Walking a Spiritual Path as well as The Yoga Therapy Lens. Romano is also a committed back-to-the-land and keep-it-simple advocate, having transplanted with her husband and four children to the rolling hills of West Virginia where they are putting down roots and seeing what blossoms.
