Francoise Barbira Freedman has taken classic yoga postures and adapted them for practice in water. Swimming is often recommended in pregnancy, but the author has taken this one step further, modifying the strokes so that they provide better alignment and breathing capabilities. Whether you are a good swimmer or a non-swimmer, the result is an inspiring book of exercises.
Aqua Yoga begins with yoga exercises and swimming techniques for pregnancy. These are designed to open the pelvis, develop your breathing and ease aches and pains. Floating relaxations in the water convey you into an anxiety-free state.
If you aim to have a water birth, Aqua Yoga suggests exercises to help reduce the pain of labour, to ease the birth and to open your pelvis in preparation for delivery.
Finally, energising postnatal exercises close up your pelvis, tone your body and strengthen your abdominal muscles.
All the exercises are presented in sequences that are short, simple, effective and safe. Delightful colour photographs clearly illustrate the positions and techniques.
Aqua Yoga is a unique series of exercises developed by the author over many years to combine the therapeutic and buoyant nature of water with the energizing and harmonizing effect of yoga.
Aqua Yoga guides you through the ideal exercises for easing your pregnancy, preparing for a water birth and recovering strength and tone after giving birth.
Many variations are included to make Aqua Yoga invaluable to swimmers and non-swimmers alike.
No previous experience of yoga is necessary to benefit from these special exercises.
