Yoga for Pregnancy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is full of photos and detailed and clear descriptions of the moves. I plan to use the book a great deal and work the moves into my yoga routine. Even so, I'm not sure that it would be enough for someone who has no yoga experience. Also, I was looking for recommendations about other yoga moves I'm more familiar with (eg, "Don't do the cobra" "the cat is great for pregnant women") and it wasn't there.

Yoga is the ideal exercise for pregnancy, and this is the ideal yoga program for pregnant women, designed by two leading authorities in this specialized field. Both authors are mothers as well as recognized yoga experts, and they've taken classic yoga techniques-for breathing, movement, and relaxation-and carefully adapted them for each stage of pregnancy. The exercises help the mother keep her body supple, prepare her for delivery, relieve the pain of labor, ease childbirth, and get her back in shape afterward. No previous experience of yoga is needed, and safety is always given top priority.

Motherwell Maternity Fitness Plan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a fitness instructor and I bought this book so I could be well versed on giving modifications to pregnant women that come to my classes. I found the book to be informative and contain a good amount of information beyond the typical "don't lay on your back" type of thing. The book addresses the pregnant athlete, eating well, posture, meditiation, stretching, getting in exercise while doing activities around the house, your skin, hormones, discomforts, etc. The book has some basic sketches/drawings in it which I thought were value added but this is not a picture book.
I found the book to be a great guide and it is recommended by the American Council on Exercise, which is who I have my group exercise certification through and how I originally found out about the book. I look forward to using the information for myself one day. In the meantime, I'm loaning it to one of my trusted newly pregnant students so she can keep fit while pregnant. I highly recommend this one especially if you're only buying one fitness book for pregnancy.

Yoga for Pregnancy: Ninety-Two Safe, Gentle Stretches Appropriate for Pregnant Women & New Mothers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a prenatal yoga instructor I found this book very helpful in getting ideas for my classes. I love the fact that there is the symbols in the corner to show which positions are good for what trimester. This makes it easy for anyone to regulate which positions should be done. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is just starting out in yoga or who wants to stay fit and flexible throughout their pregnancy.
