 A Complete Waste of MoneyJul 21, 2010
As a childbirth educator, I bought this book with a great deal of enthusiasm, but found it a complete let down. Not only were the images black and white, the binding was haphazard and the content was very mediocre.
 Very easy to use and very gentleFeb 16, 2010
The Title is very apt. There are very good pictures and good instructions and the lay-out of the chapters makes it really easy to tailor make your own yoga session. Excellent resource, especially for Iyengar yoga students/teachers.

An Ok book, but I believe there needs be more information and excercise on the pelvic floor,and its importance during pregnancy, labour and afterwards

 a so-so resourceSep 25, 2007
I teach yoga, and had a 6month pregnant woman join my 2ndlevel class.
I wanted to be sure to treat her tenderly.
This book does have suggested postures to use for prenatal, dividing them up into trimesters, but it was weak in theory.
I was hoping to understand the theory behind why she should not lay on her right side, or why she should not lower her head below her heart.
Overall, as long as you follow the photos, it appears to be safe.

This teacher is of Iyengar background. The photos are dated, but content is excellent.
