Book excerpt: The first pre- and postnatal book geared specifically to experienced yoga practitioners—from an established author, with contributions from the leaders in the field. You've been practicing yoga for years. It is a part of the way you live, move, and breathe. And then . . . you get pregnant. Pregnancy can throw any woman a curve ball. Even established and experienced yoga practitioners will likely find that their body, mind, and practice are challenged during pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. This book is the yoga practitioner's companion through this period, offering practical advice, step-by-step asana sequences, pranayama practices, and meditation techniques, all of which are designed to help new mothers connect more deeply to their experience and prepare for their journey—physically, mentally, and spiritually. Grounded in both ancient wisdom and contemporary knowledge, Yoga Mama covers each trimester, labor and birth, and the postpartum years. The beautifully photographed sequences include modifications and suggestions to accommodate a growing belly and to address the concerns or challenges that may arise during this time. Holistic and ayurvedic medicine perspectives help women understand what is happening in their bodies at every juncture, and personal stories connect them to pregnant women everywhere. Through practice, self-reflection, and learning how to let go, yoga gives us the opportunity to be an active, informed participant in the birthing of our baby and a healthy, happy parent.

Book excerpt: Do you want your body and mind to be fit for your labor and delivery experience? Are you looking to enhance your connection with the baby? Do you want to improve your strength, flexibility, and endurance of muscles needed for childbirth? Are you struggling with common pregnancy discomforts such as lower back pain, sickness, nausea, painful leg cramps, swollen ankles, constipation, insomnia, headaches, shortness of breath, and carpal tunnel syndrome? If so, Prenatal Yoga is what you need. Yoga's origin can be traced back to more than 5,000 years ago, but some researchers believe that yoga may be up to 10,000 years old. The word 'Yoga' first appeared in the oldest sacred texts, the Rig Veda, and is derived from the Sanskrit root "Yuj" which means to unite. According to the Yoga Scriptures, the practice of yoga leads an individual to a union of consciousness with that of universal consciousness. It eventually leads to a great harmony between the human mind and body, man and nature. I've made a complete series on all 10 types of yoga. This is Prenatal Yoga; others are also available! During pregnancy, the body undergoes several adjustments and you want to stay in shape to do what is right for you and your child, which makes you emotionally and physically exhausted. Prenatal Yoga is a perfect way to do both. It helps brace you for the birth process and is also beneficial to the baby. Prenatal Yoga is a way to promote a balanced mind and body since it emphasizes poses for pregnant women to improve strength and flexibility. It also helps pregnant women develop a proper breathing pattern for smoother and more comfortable labor. There are several benefits of Prenatal Yoga. For instance, yoga during pregnancy helps tone your muscles, and certain poses can help ease back pain. Many poses, ideal for pregnant women, have a low joint impact, making yoga a better and more relaxed option than other more challenging forms of exercise. It also emphasizes breathing exercises and meditation, techniques that will brace you for labor while helping you relieve tension and discomfort. Here in this guide, you'll discover a balanced Prenatal Yoga practice with the unique opportunity to bring together your mind, body, and soul in one beautiful experience. The ultimate aim of this practice is physical vitality, but also mental stability.
