Mindful Motherhood is an educational program
developed specifically for pregnant
women and new moms. It teaches a set
of practices and ways of being based
upon the principles of mindfulness.
Mindfulness is a practice of being aware
of your experience, from moment to
moment, allowing it to be just as it
is without evaluation or judgment.
Over time, mindful awareness of your
experiences as a mom, whether they
are internal (mental, physical, or
emotional) or external (situations
with your baby or others), allows you
to more and more often approach each
experience with curiosity and compassion,
for yourself and for others.
Easy ten-minute meditation
exercises and yoga poses throughout this
book will help you cultivate greater
flexibility and mindful awareness during
pregnancy, childbirth, and your baby's
first year. About
