All Francoise Freedman's books are excellent and this latest is no exception. What is great about this book is that it is suitable for those who have practiced little or no yoga before and also for experienced yoginis. The book takes you safely through the three trimesters with mini sequences, explaining what muscles you are strengthening and stretching. Common complaints like sciatica and symphysis pubis disorder are also addressed. The beautifully shot photos make everything clear and easy to follow.
The book also takes you through the postpartum period. Unlike most books, this isn't just a small add on at the end of the book. Freedman gives several progressive mini routines to help realign the body and promote strength and vitality.
I can't recommend this book enough!

Format:Paperback
Is so good because it gives the detail of the Indian names for the positions and their background, without lots of spiritual/sentimental blahblah. It's extremely practical because the graphics/photos and descriptions are so clear, it has exercises for every stage of pregnancy and after, and it points out which positions should perhaps be avoided if you have medical complications.

Format:Paperback
I bought this book during the second trimester of my first pregnancy and found it excellent for adapting my yoga for pregnancy. As said in previous reviews, what gives this book the edge is that it takes you beyond the birth into 16 weeks afterwards. What is also good is that unlike many other books I have seen, the sequences in this book will appeal to those beginning yoga and already experienced in it as they feature various variatons of the same pose. Also good is the advice panals for each sequence, which inform the reader how it will benefit them and also if they should avoid the pose. I ended up having a c-section for my first child and this book in the postnatal section gives clear advice to when i could attempt each pose after it. I am know at the beginning of my second pregnancy and will be using it again.
