Yoga is the perfect way to prepare for labor, and the beautiful photography and concise instructions will help you develop a successful birthing strategy through exercise. Expecting mothers are coached through yoga positions—designed to refresh the body, calm the mind, and soothe the spirit—that help them stay in control. The strength-building moves and gentle stretches are designed to alleviate discomfort before, during, and after labor, and they can be done alone or with a partner.
