stretching for pregnancy

Customer Rating:

An Ok book, but I believe there needs be more information and excercise on the pelvic floor,and its importance during pregnancy, labour and afterwards

a so-so resource

Customer Rating:

I teach yoga, and had a 6month pregnant woman join my 2ndlevel class.
I wanted to be sure to treat her tenderly.
This book does have suggested postures to use for prenatal, dividing them up into trimesters, but it was weak in theory.
I was hoping to understand the theory behind why she should not lay on her right side, or why she should not lower her head below her heart.
Overall, as long as you follow the photos, it appears to be safe.

Safe and effective

Customer Rating:

This teacher is of Iyengar background. The photos are dated, but content is excellent.

Not quite what I was looking for...

Customer Rating:

This is a pretty good book if you are going to be doing yoga at home...I was hoping more for a book that would give me suggestions on alternate positions for poses that I shouldn't be doing in group classes. All in all though, not a bad book, just not quite what I was looking for.

Not for teachers

Customer Rating:

This is a handbook designed for students. I bought it to build my prenatal teaching library and am disappointed. The pictures are dated but the poses are classic. There are also poses for postnatal.
