What Makes This Book Unique?
Where most prenatal yoga books focus on pregnancy, Yoga for Birth is uniquely focused on birth itself. The book begins with an overview of the three stages of labor. It then moves into what makes up the majority of the book: yoga poses, meditations, breathwork, and other techniques to practice before birth. Each yoga pose is featured with full photographs. The poses are broken into four sections: hands and knees, seated, standing, and restorative poses. Birth partners are also discussed in many poses.

After the yoga poses, the following chapters give detailed explanations of: birth meditations mothers can use, affirmations (short written sayings to use for labor), verbalizations, breath work, and sound. These chapters offer ways of using your mind and breath before, during, and after labor. All meditations are easy enough for beginners.

Throughout the book, the inclusion of journaling topics with blank space for writing elevates the book from reading material into a personal journey. Journal pages give mothers a chance to reflect on what they are learning, find things already present in their life, and set goals for success.

The second half of the book moves into other topics. Inclusion of real birth stories provides a deep and personal window into the birth experience, giving pregnant mothers confidence by reading stories of women that have been through it. Those interested deeply in yoga will appreciate the section on yoga philosophy for birth and parenting.

The end of the book offers four practice routines with techniques featured in the book. The practice routines are offered in varying lengths (thirty, thirty-five, forty-five, and sixty-five minutes).
