good book for yoga lovers

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.

Excellent advice and exercise for pregnancy

I highly recommend this book to women 14 weeks pregnant and on. I actually took yoga classes with Francoise in Cambridge, UK during my second pregnancy. The preparation was exquisite and prepared me and baby for a glorious childbirth experience. The book is well organized and easy to read so that you can prepare for a natural birth as it is meant to be. No one can predict a birth experience, but this book helps to take the experience into your own hands and avoid medical intervention.
