Yoga for Pregnancy with DVD
Author: Theresa Jamieson
Pregnancy is a brief and very special time in a woman's life. Practising yoga during pregnancy is a safe and gentle way to enjoy light exercise and relaxation. Theresa Jamieson takes you through gentle yoga exercises, specifically designed for the needs of the pregnant woman, which will benefit the whole person physically, mentally and emotionally. They can be practised by all women, even if you've never done yoga before. All the necessary precautions are also detailed. Yoga means 'yoke' or 'union' - that is, the union between the body and the mind. The ancient yogic practices and teachings date back thousands of years incorporating exercise, breath control and meditation. A select few of these teachings are demonstrated for you. Yoga for Pregnancy recognises that pregnancy yoga is quite different from regular yoga, being much softer and less strenuous on the body. Theresa Jamieson takes you through the exercises, with the specialised needs of the pregnant woman foremost, and shows you how to establish and maintain flexibility, tone and strength throughout pregnancy while preparing for labour and childbirth.
