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. Yoga Mama is the perfect companion for the experienced yoga practitioner during her pregnancy and on into motherhood. This pre- and postnatal book offers practical advice and inspiration, asana sequences, pranayama practices, and meditation techniques, all of which speak to and help new mothers connect more deeply to their experience and prepare for their journey--physically, mentally, and spiritually. Grounded in ancient wisdom and contemporary knowledge, the book covers each trimester, labor and birth, and the postpartum years. It includes: • Flowing sequences that emphasize self-awareness and promote strength, flexibility, and balance • Modifications that accommodate a pregnant woman's growing belly, recalibrate her balance, and honor fluctuations in her energy levels • Mini sequences for specific trimester challenges: morning sickness, fatigue, anxiety, low-back issues, etc. • Asana, pranayama, and meditation practices designed to deeply connect mother and baby from the beginning of pregnancy through the postpartum years • A dedicated section on the pelvic floor to encourage women to let go and prepare for labor and birth • Special breathing techniques for labor that encourage natural childbirth • Deeper practices and ancient teachings that can help women tap into their strength and create a prenatal and birthing experience that is empowering and unique • Postpartum advice and sequences designed to help knit things back together, address postpartum challenges, and offer tips for bonding, nursing, self-care, and nutrition • Information (from a Western holistic and ayurvedic perspective) on what is happening in the body at every juncture--prenatal, labor and birth, and postpartum • Personal advice and stories from a wide array of pre- and postnatal experts With contributions from: • Elena Brower: founder and director of Virayoga in New York City, prenatal teacher for YogaGlo.com, and author of Art of Attention • Stephanie Snyder: teacher in San Francisco, pre- and postnatal teacher for YogaGlo.com • Jane Austin: pre- and postnatal yoga teacher, midwife, childbirth educator, and director of Mama Tree prenatal teacher training programs in San Francisco • Margi Young: OM yoga teacher in New York and San Francisco • De West: pre- and postnatal yoga teacher and childbirth educator in Boulder • Dustienne Miller: certified physical therapist and Kripalu yoga teacher in Boston • Kate Hanley: OM yoga teacher, mind-body coach, and author of The 28 Days Lighter Diet • Melissa Billie Williams: pre- and postnatal teacher and director of Yoga Junction studio in Louisville, Colorado

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. This Prenatal Yoga guide is perfect for beginners and those looking for a more mindful and gentler practice for themselves and their fetus's well-being during pregnancy. In This Guide, You'll Discover: The Science Behind Prenatal Yoga Who Can Perform It? Prenatal Yoga Benefits Things You Need to Know Before Starting Prenatal Yoga Asanas and Pranayamas Prenatal Yoga Cool Down and Relaxation Prenatal Meditation Tips for Various Trimesters Beginner's Common Mistakes and How to Fix Them Common Myths and FAQs So, are you interested in learning all about how Prenatal Yoga can benefit you and your baby? This is a comprehensive guide to take a closer look at what this yoga style can do for you and how you can master it for yourself as well as your baby's overall well-being. Covering the fundamentals of each practice in-depth, and how to correct the most common errors, this Prenatal Yoga Guide has left nothing to help you attain physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In matchless prose and stunning photographs, the importance and beauty of yoga for pregnant women Back in print and newly designed, here is the classic text on yoga for expectant mothers by the renowned obstetrician Dr. Frederick Leboyer, illustrated with his own photographs. Leboyer shows how woman can use yoga to move toward healthy and joyous childbearing, and how the health benefits will far outlast the birthing process, for both mother and child. A young Indian woman, Vanita—the daughter of yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar, who provided this book’s introduction—is seen in her daily practice a few short days before giving birth, as Inner Beauty, Inner Light explains the breathing techniques and postures all expectant mothers can use to acquire harmony, elegance, grace, and precision. Moreover, Leboyer explores the inner meaning of yoga for both the inner woman and the child within.
