Yoga Baby Conception The Three Trimesters Birth And Yoga Practice For Life

Sally Townsend and Jenny Beeken write as a midwife and an experienced yoga teacher. Both are mothers too, and they guide you through conception, all three stages of pregnancy and the birth itself. Your Yoga Birthguide is unique in adding a professional perspective in a yoga manual, and the authors are able to make really informed suggestions about enhancing pregnancy with yoga awareness. Jenny and Sally treat each three months period of the pregnancy on its own, setting asanas alongside relaxation and breathing techniques, and show mothers-to-be how to adjust to the physical demands of labor and give birth with minimum strain. Practicing yoga improves strength, body and breath awareness, is good for keeping the body supple, fit and relaxed without straining, and can be used to relieve pain in labour, thus easing childbirth. The book also offers wisdom about miscarriage, termination and IVF. There is special advice for yoga teachers, and for health professionals. Your Yoga Birthguide is a trusted reference of essential professional advice for yoga teachers, midwives, and mothers-to-be and even dads.
