Milner Health Conscious Birthing: Yoga and Meditation for Pregnancy, (Paperback)

<p><i>Conscious Birthing</i> is written for the benefit and enjoyment of all pregnant women. Pregnancy is a brief yet remarkable period in a woman's life, and one of the most nurturing ways she can care for herself and her unborn baby is through gentle yoga practices. These practices--which include postures or <i>asanas</i>, the valuable breathing techniques of <i>pranayama</i> (conscious breathing), and meditation--offer profound support throughout pregnancy and in preparation for childbirth.</p><p>Drawing on her extensive experience, Theresa Jamieson has selected exercises and postures that are specifically suited to pregnancy: safe, gentle, and responsive to the body's continually changing needs. Yoga breathing practices are, in many ways, the most essential aspect of birth preparation, fostering mental calmness and physical relaxation that help a woman meet the demands of labor with greater ease. Meditation and relaxation evolve naturally from the breath work and form a central part of birthing consciously.</p>
