Synopsis

YOGA FOR PREGNANCY will guide both beginners and those who have practiced for years on the best way to utilize yoga safely during their pregnancy. Readers will learn the most suitable methods and breathing techniques for each stage of pregnancy, as well as specific exercises that can offer relief from common pregnancy-related discomforts, such as heartburn, fluid retention, aches and pains, dizziness, and more.

The book is broken down by trimester, offering routines appropriate for each stage of the pregnancy. Each exercise is explained carefully in text and accompanied by easy-to-understand, step-by-step photographs. Not only is yoga an ideal and safe method of exercise during pregnancy, it also can enhance awareness of muscles that will be used during labor and childbirth.

If you're pregnant or need a gift for someone who is, here's why this is the perfect choice:

** It's great for beginners and those experienced in yoga.
** All of the exercises have been reviewed and endorsed by an antenatal expert.
** You'll find exercises that provide relief from common pregnancy-related discomforts.
** Helps prepare mothers-to-be for upcoming labor and childbirth by enhancing their awareness of the muscles used in labor and child delivery.
