Product Description

Product Description

Adopting an approach to yoga which is designed to help the expectant mother to develop confidence in her body, and avoiding complicated jargon, this book explains in detail how to attune to natural energies and how an understanding of gravity can be used beneficially during pregnancy and birth. Illustrated exercises show how yoga can strengthen the body, help it to become more supple, and relieve stress.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must for every pregnant woman!, 6 Jun 2001
By A Customer
I read this book when I was 5 months pregnant with my first child. The exercises are simple and easy to do and in spite of doing a full-time 50-hour week job till my 28th week of pregnancy I experienced no problems. The only regret I had was that I should have been more diligent with the exercises! I had a completely normal labour and birth which could of course be my good fortune but I believe was helped in large part by this excellent book.
