About the practices

Everything in these recordings is drawn from Sitaram’s holistic programme of yoga for pregnancy and birth: a safe, nurturing approach to meet the changing needs of individual students. In pregnancy yoga, breath, relaxation and movement are specifically designed to promote vitality and well-being for mother and child. The practices are suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced yoginis, and can help relieve pregnancy ailments such as low back pain, swollen ankles, heartburn and insomnia. Yoga is also a helpful way to explore comfortable birthing positions, and can be of great help in postnatal recovery.

The last two visualisation and relaxation practices (tracks 05 and 06) are drawn from Sitaram Birth Rehearsals: special, one-off sessions designed as a relaxed, effective way for expectant mothers and their birthing partners to learn practical coping skills for birth, such as simple breathing, movement, posture and visualisations.
