Pregnancy Health Yoga Your Essential Guide for Bump, Birth and Beyond

From the moment a woman learns she's pregnant till after she gives birth, yoga can help, calming emotions, enhancing health, and aiding in post-natal recovery. Two top experts in pregnancy yoga have created an accessible guide--plus a DVD of key practices--that gently takes moms-to-be through every stage. They explain breathwork and provide guided meditations and visualizations; illustrated step-by-step routines; and a directory of postures that target common pregnancy-related conditions. Dr. Gowri Motha, internationally celebrated creator of the Gentle Birth Method, has written the foreword.

Tara Lee is the UK's leading pregnancy yoga teacher, and teaches at London's The Life Centre.

Mary Attwood, who devised the original Pregnancy Health Yoga DVD as well as the DVD in this book, was business manager for the Life Centre and helped to establish the Alchemy Centre, London.
