Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Hi Amanda Susan Rothlein in Orlando, Florida is a pre and post natal yoga instructor. You can check her web site at www.hometown.aol.com/mommayoga/ where there is information and links to useful literature and videos. You mentioned that your friend followed a video of natal yoga by Shiva Rea. I attended a worshop of Shiva Rea, and her background is Ashtanga. I imagine that the video your friend is following offers sound advice.

She started doing yoga once a week about three months ago. When she found out she was preggo, she ordered a Shiva Rea pre-natal video (because that was the only one that we could find with someone from an Ashtanga background). So here's where I ask for advice. After viewing the video, she has said that she wants to continue her Ashtanga practice for now because the video is too slow and not really a work out for her (she is very athletic and still goes to the gym almost everyday). She doesn't do any inversions or the marichyasanas (twisting). Is there anything else in the sequence that she should avoid (up to navasana)? As far as I know, there are no pre-natal teachers in Japan, so finding a class is not an option. I would love to hear others' experiences! thanks, amanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
