 She can discover her great power yet her ability to surrender; her great compassion yet a detachment. Most importantly, her greatest capacity to LOVE.
 
The experience of birth is a peak experience in your life. Yet, surprisingly, the experience of childbirth often leaves you physically shattered, emotionally bereft and mentally confused.
 
During your pregancy, there can be difficulties and disappointments, but, ultimately one needs to go past those varicose veins, edema, back pain, nausea, impatience, frustration, tiredness, abdominal discomfort, sleeplessness, depression… Gosh! Did I leave out anything??
 
All these as well as birthing traumas can be overcome if the mind and heart remain one-pointed on the true purpose of procreation, rather than the unfolding effects of it.

Yoga and Meditation have the capacity to produce a higher quality of conception, a healthier maternal environment for pregnancy and a more harmonious birthing experience. 
  
More importantly for the new-born, the yoga techniques assist in bringing into the world a child less inhibited by stress and potential illness.

Yoga has well developed tools that make natural birthing more probable as compared to administered c-sections.Yoga exercises are a great help in facilitating a gentle and uncomplicated delivery. 

Yoga aspects and techniques should help to make your pregnancy a more “Joyful” experience.
