Format:Hardcover
This is a very comprehensive book on pregnancy yoga. Detailed descriptions of asanas and their benefits for each trimester. It gives all the safety tips for doing yoga while pregnant. From this point of view it's great. What was disappointing is the number of props required for each asana. Apart from the usual sticky mat, blocks and belts, apparantly you'll need a yoga chair (and for some asana two of them), at least two or three other types of blocks, bolsters (again sometimes two of them), several blankets, halasana table, trestle, various special benches, ropes secured to the wall, etc. I don't think it's realistic to buy and install all these things in your home just for your pregnancy period. I think the book is more suitable for a yoga teacher working with pregnant women in a well equipped studio, rather than for home practice.

Having just started yoga during my pregnancy this book it an excellent companion to going to a class or as an informative book to dip into. It suits beginners and advanced practitioners with asanas, sequences, guidance on movements for particularly pregnancy conditions as well as holistic advice. I have other pregnancy yoga books but this one is by far the best! Enjoy.
Format:Hardcover
This is a great book to use either with a base knowledge of Iyengar Yoga, or in conjunction with classes with a qualified instructor.
The foreward and lead-in chapters are well written and informative, the illustrations are clear and well-explained, and there is a good selections of poses for all phases of pregnancy. Definitely recommended.
