Book Overview
Conscious Birthing is written for the benefit and enjoyment of all pregnant women. Pregnancy is a brief and remarkable time in a woman's life, and one of the most beautiful ways for a pregnant woman to look after herself and her unborn baby is through gentle yoga practices. The specific practices that will benefit a woman during pregnancy and preparation for childbirth include the postures or asanas, the valuable breathing techniques of pranayama, or breathing consciously, and meditation.
Drawing on her long experience, Theresa Jamieson has selected exercises and postures that are specific for pregnancy, safe and gentle, and take into consideration the pregnant body's ever-changing needs. Yoga breathing practices are in many ways the most important aspect of birth preparation, bringing mental calmness and physical relaxation which enable a woman to better cope with the demands of childbirth. Meditation and relaxation evolve naturally from the breathing exercises and are a main component of birthing consciously.
