may end up going off the rails! So, within the practical sections of the book I have made great efforts to assist the reader in self-prescribing safely, by including all the necessary caveats relevant to a woman's stage of motherhood and yoga experience.
   Before commencing any of the recommended yoga practices, please be sure to read the section "General Advice and Precautions" at the beginning of "Chapter 9 - Getting Started" in Book 2. Following that, the Prescribed Yoga Programs, can then be used as a teach yourself system, or in conjunction with a tutored class. The actual practices included in Chapter 10, cover from beginners to intermediate levels, providing many years of aspiration and learning. To begin to practise these techniques does not require complete understanding of 

any of the previous chapters, however there is much relevant background information in Chapter 2 - "Yoga and Tantra" which will help you to gain a better understanding of what you are doing and how it can work.

In Conclusion
   Pregnancy, childbirth, motherhood, yoga. Each one offers us an opportunity for profound transformation - to make a leap into a new consciousness. Nature invites us to feel into our bellies, to discover what lies hidden within, to manifest that being and to teach and learn through that maternal bond. My greatest hope is that every woman experiencing pregnancy will heed these silent urgings. My greatest gift is the teachings of yoga, a way of making this potential a spiritual reality.
