  Offers gentle but practical holistic advice using yoga postures along with a healthy diet and vitamins. Each yoga posture is designed to be safe and comfortable for each stage of pregnancy and to tone up after the birth. In the early months blood pressure drops and nausea, fatigue, vomiting and headaches are side effects of raised hormonal levels. This book suggests yoga postures and relaxation techniques to improve circulation, increase energy and ease the symptoms of hormonal imbalances. The excercises featured encourage body awareness, increase suppleness and enable relaxation.
