Easy to understand book
Pelvic Floor Yoga for Women by Christina D”Arrigo is a simply illustrated and easy to understand book for women wanting to learn how to do exercises to help heal and strengthen their pelvic floor. The book is divided into two parts: All About Pelvic Floor Yoga and Pelvic Floor Yoga Poses and Sequences.The first part explains why exercises are necessary to keep this area strong and working well. I liked that there is a brief introduction to what yoga is and why do it for your health. There is also good images and information on the pelvic floor, along with explainations as to how this area can weaken. Even though Kegel exercises aren’t exactly yoga, the author does give a brief history of these exercises and how to do them correctly since they are often prescribed or recommended for pelvic floor strengthening. She concludes this section with some good information on how to get ready to do the exercises, how to make them a habit and what, if any, props or special clothing that you need.The second section gives instructions and a pose image for healing poses, energizing poses, and harmonizing poses all for the pelvic floor area. Then she concludes with sequences to use as you work to strengthen your pelvic floor. One added touch that I really liked about this book is that she concludes with a page with more resources to learn more, a page of references and a nicely detailed index. I really felt like the author put time and effort into making this a user friendly book.I received a copy of this book from the publisher through the Amazon Vine Program. All opinions within this review are my own. I hope you find this review “helpful.”

Very good explanations and diagrams
I ordered this book to help me address my pelvic floor issue more directly. I’m 61 and while my issue is minor now, I want to be sure to take care of my body well so that it does not progress — or maybe that it even improves. I’ve done yoga on and off for over 4 decades (even did the 200-hr. teacher training and taught in the 1980s and 90s!). So when I first looked at the book, I was like, “Oh, I know all these yoga poses already!!”But really, it’s the explanations and the groupings of the poses (healing, energizing, harmonizing, supporting) that are helpful. The preliminary materials (anatomical diagrams, explanation of how to properly do Kegel exercises) are great. So even though I know the poses, all this info is helpful to me.The diagrams of the poses and the instructions are also very good. In my opinion, the book would be best for someone who has had a few yoga classes (though I would probably say that about any yoga book!). Or if this is a significant issue for you, then perhaps have a few sessions with a yoga therapist (and asking them to help you work on some of these specific poses) would be well worth the extra investment.

This is a good quality book – thought it would have had more exercises for the pelvic floor. The postures were great – I am an avid teacher and practitioner of yoga so most of the poses I already knew.
