Iyengar Yoga for Motherhood: Safe Practice for Expectant & New Mothers Hardcover – 7 April 2010

As a Iyengar yoga practitioner and teacher, I think that this book is invaluable. It does use a great many props (as does Iyengar yoga in general) so may appear a little daunting for first time Yoginis or those new to Iyengar yoga. However, it is based on so much superb knowledge and information from the Iyengar family that it is hard to fault. It is well presented with different sections for the three trimesters of pregnancy and also with separate guidance for beginners and advanced students. For me, this is the reference book for those serious about their pregnancy yoga.

This is a great reference book for anyone teaching pregnant ladies or who is one themselves. It deals with the 3 trimesters and goes posture by posture so you understand the reasons why certain postures and good and certain ones really not good when at the different stages of pregnancy. I did notice a couple of minor inconsistencies but using common sense it is obvious what the author intended. For example one page has crosses on it as to postures not to do and the same picture is in the advised asanas section, I think it was paschimottanasana from memory.

Wonderful book however not for those who are new to Iyengar yoga, best referenced in conjunctionwith an experienced Iyengar teacher. If new to this method of yoga, this book is still instructive and clearand thorough and therefore beneficial to those that are just starting out on the yogic / motherhood journey.

This is the ultimate safe yoga pregnancy resource with various safe sequences for every stage.

This is a great book to use either with a base knowledge of Iyengar Yoga, or in conjunction with classes with a qualified instructor.The foreward and lead-in chapters are well written and informative, the illustrations are clear and well-explained, and there is a good selections of poses for all phases of pregnancy. Definitely recommended.
