Doriel Hall, Françoise Barbira Freedman

Synopsis

Yoga is one of the best forms of exercise during pregnancy, a gentle, safe means of keeping toned and supple without strain, of keeping aches and pains at bay and energy flowing, of relaxing mind and body, and preparing for the physical demands of childbirth – and motherhood itself. Postnatal yoga guides you through exercise for conception, all three stages of pregnancy, and the birth itself. Classical yoga postures, adapted to meet the very special demands placed on your body in this time, as well as breathing and relaxation, are combined in a holistic approach which effects can extend throughout your life and to the child growing within. You need have no experience of yoga to use this book, but if you have enjoyed yoga before, the adapted poses will help you to tailor a special programme for yourself. The beautiful clear photographs illustrate a friendly and informal test, guiding you through the movements that change to meet your needs as your body changes. Françoise Barbira Freedman has worked with hundreds of women over the years. Helping them to conceive and then to enjoy a happy pregnancy and birth. Doriel Hall and Françoise have together translated this skill into exercises and relaxations that can be followed safely at home.

“This book is going to help so many people, especially those who find it difficult to conceive or to enjoy a comfortable and joyful nine months” Swami Satchitanada Ma, British Wheel of Yoga
