What is human energy? What is prana? Breath is connected to energy and prana and all together is the force of life for a balanced soul, mind and body connection. For better and healthier being, we need good nutrition, source of energy, oxygen, rest and a lot of love. A pregnant woman is that source for her unborn baby and post childbirth she remains to be for her whole family. The woman’s pregnancy journey never involves only herself, since she is carrying and caring for the rest of the family. Yogic practices are essential to this wonderful journey and this is the time to focus on own self, find the missing balances whether these are physical, emotional or mental to be able to cope with the new challenges when the time comes. Uniting my yogic experience, studies and personal maternal journey, with this book I share the yogic benefits for every woman who wants to explore its gifts, or yoga teachers who seek general information and inspiration on sequencing and cueing pre-postnatal classes.

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.
