Better pregnancy yoga books

Customer Rating:
I picked a copy of this book up and have to mostly say it's quite dated. Luckily I got it from the library. The photos thankfully have real pregnant women, but they are wearing 70's style leotards and other equally aged images. Also there are a lot drawings of women giving birth with big smiles on their faces, and though birth is joyful experience, I highly doubt even with positivity you'll be grinning.
Some of the positives though are the importance of breath, the explanation of yoga and other pregnancy information in the first half of the book. It has a very reputable feel and some good information, but I think there are better guides with more updated information, I'm fond of Yoga for pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Excellent book for pregnant mothers

I was recommended this book by my yoga teacher, an Indian woman from Rajastan, who has devoted her whole life to yoga. It is truly a great book. It has clear explanations of all processes that happen in woman's body in pregnancy, helps you understand your body and mind during pregnancy and helps you fix the basic troubles you might have in pregnancy, like bad posture, week pelvic muscles or backpain with simple tips. Being in the second half of my pregnancy, I used the advice from this book on daily bases and have no backpain or other troubles so far. In addition I think yoga makes you be more "with" yourself, so you can feel and be calm about your changes, and I think you can connect to your baby much better. I am pregnant for the first time, but felt the first movements of my baby already since week 15.
Try it yourself!

I am reviewing this book for my website - www.soloyoga.com - as it is a book I recommend for the yoga teacher training I conduct in Milano Italy. As yoga teachers we have also pregnant women in normal classes and have to take care of their condition with the do and do nots.The anatomical illustrations are very clear and what is especially helpful is how the author stresses the role of the partner, who is also active in the whole process. excellent the suggestions for labour and what happens after, I have given this book to more than one pregnant student and of course my own daughter mother of 3!
