Customer Reviews

Nice pictures but not enough poses and recommendations
I found the book lack guidelines on yoda poses that you should avoid while being pregnant. It also could include more challeging poses for those who are more fit and experience in yoga.

Every Pregnant Woman Should Use This Book
This book is phenomenal, plain and simple. Used throughout my second pregnancy, Yoga for Pregnancy helped me balance my mind and body with very little effort needed. I wasn't sure whether Yoga was for me, but Widdowson's instruction, as well as the detailed, color images allowed for no mistakes or misunderstanding. I found, compared to my first pregnancy, that there was no noticeable turmoil going on horomonally and my ability to focus on giving birth was increased ten-fold. My muscles were toned without ever losing a breath of air or breaking a sweat. Further, my baby is very active and strong and is developmentally ahead of most infants...I don't know if I can attribute this to Yoga (bumping and rolling her around for nine months) or healty living overall, but Yoga sure made a difference. This book is well worth anyone's time, not just pregnant women...I recommend it to the fathers as well...it doesn't hurt dads to mentally prepare for their new arrival!

Easy to follow, different poses for each trimester... (m)
I really like all of the photographs, not drawings, that help demonstrate the poses. I also like that it is broken down by trimester, and discusses what each pose helps. For example, a pose may indicate that it helps prevent and ease fluid retention, relieve backache, or prevent indigestion.
