Synopsis

Yoga is the perfect exercise for pregnant women. It is a gentle, safe means of keeping the body toned and supple without strain, keeping aches and pains at bay and energy flowing. This guide provides yoga exercises that tone, align, strengthen, prepare and relax the body for conception, all three stages of pregnancy, and the birth itself. Classical yoga postures are adapted to meet the very special demands placed on the body at this time and breathing, movement and relaxation are combined for the ultimate holistic programme. Suitable for complete beginners and experienced yogis, prenatal yoga benefits both the mother-to-be and the baby.
