For most women, trying on a bikini is the ultimate moment of truth. Endless reps of sit-ups don't banish the dread of the fitting-room mirror. Because of a societal fixation on "rock hard" and "washboard," most women want their bellies to look exactly as they are "not meant to be. "The Woman's Belly Book helps women rejoice in their feminine center. The book takes a soul-powered approach to building body confidence and better health, blending yoga, breath work, and simple exercises to help women awaken their core. The concepts are presented with humor and insight, and the exercises, which utilize techniques from Pilates, belly dancing, body shaping, chi kung and tai chi, are simple, fun, and invigorating. Reclaiming the belly as honorable, even sacred, the book provides a foundation for a body-centered spiritual practice that invokes the presence of the Sacred Feminine.
