Product Description

Yoga is the ideal exercise for pregnancy, and this is the ideal yoga program for pregnant women, designed by two leading authorities in this specialized field. Both authors are mothers as well as recognized yoga experts, and they've taken classic yoga techniques-for breathing, movement, and relaxation-and carefully adapted them for each stage of pregnancy. The exercises help the mother keep her body supple, prepare her for delivery, relieve the pain of labor, ease childbirth, and get her back in shape afterward. No previous experience of yoga is needed, and safety is always given top priority.
