Description
Child Birth is an event. An entrance into this big wide, wonderful world of ours. The human child is one of the most dependent creatures and parenthood is a sacred trust, to cherish a little life and to guide it in its growth with its own special genius.
The ancient path of Yoga has great lessons to offer on this path of adventure. Yoga is life and life starts at conception and flows onwards.
This book helps a mother to prepare for the great event to go through the delivery without feat or misgivings, to take care of the child in the crucial first year and more important, take care of herself before, during and after childbirth.
COMMENT:
“The suggestions offered and the yogic techniques mentioned here are quite simple, scientific and useful…. I, recommend this book to all.”
--- Dr. Rustom Soonawala
