A practical, step-by-step photographic guide to yoga poses
specifically chosen to support you safely through pregnancy and the
first months following the birth.
Yoga is more important
during pregnancy than at any other time of your life. As your body
becomes unfamiliar to you from trimester to trimester and as labor
approaches, you need safe, strengthening, and supportive sequences to
guide you on your journey. This book gives you step-by-step yoga
postures specially adapted for each trimester, and relaxation techniques
and simple breathing exercises will show you how to adjust to the
physical demands of labor and give birth with confidence. From
conception to birth, help develop shared well-being and continue to reap
the benefits of yoga after the birth as you bond with your new baby and
regain your shape.
