Mark Blanchard's Progressive Power Yoga for Pregnancy Power Yoga For All Three Trimesters Many pregnant women email me and ask if they can do my yoga DVDs while they are pregnant, and if so, for how long...The phenomenal advantages of practicing yoga during pregnancy are well-documented. Its many benefits help pregnant women maintain optimal health, minimize complications, create calmness, foster deep mental preparedness for birth, and provide quick post-natal recoveries. I created Progressive Power Yoga for Pregnancy with one woman in each trimester, including my wife Elizabeth in her second trimester and her OB Gynaecologist, Joie Russo, who was in her third trimester while taping this series. The woman shown in her first trimester is doing yoga for the first time! We made this for the woman who wants to stay fit, active, and prevent enormous weight gain during pregnancy. The 60-minute routine I've created will not only help teach expectant mothers to prepare mentally for pregnancy and birth, but will also provide them with a stronger, higher-energy pregnancy workout to safely keep their bodies in the best possible condition and make it easier for them to get their shape back post-pregnancy. Consider the myriad benefits of this pregnancy workout over all that have come before it: • Power yoga workout helps expectant mothers stay in shape and prevent enormous weight gain • Helps new moms get through pregnancy and labor with less discomfort • Relieves stress, creates a calm state-of-mind, and reduces worry • Builds much-needed energy while emitting wastes and toxins from the body • Creates flexibility to help pregnant moms adapt to various positions • Makes ligaments more elastic, which helps relieve labor pains • Strengthens pelvic muscles to help make delivery quicker and easier • Helps to alleviate pregnancy pains, discomforts, and leg cramps • Improves postures which helps to minimize back pains • Teaches ujjayi breathing techniques which are crucial at labor • Helps moms get back to post-pregnancy shape faster • Provides better, more peaceful sleep • Reduces chance of post-partum depression Shoot me an email, let me know how you are doing. mark@marksyoga.com

"What I like about your type of yoga, as opposed to other yoga is I feel that I'm not wasting my time...if I have an hour I want not only the stretching and the relaxation but I want a little bit of a cardiovascular benefit." "I've retained the muscle tone and by continuing to practice as I gain the weight throughout my pregnancy it's almost like working out with weights" "I gained about 45 pounds during my pregnancy and with the Power Yoga tape series I was able to go from a size 10 to a size 6 in just a few weeks and was able to get back into my old pants very quickly." "It's deinitely a great exercise, I'd like to get into it now as I go further in my pregnancey and do it on a regular basis"
