Birthlight's aim is a holistic approach to pregnancy to enhance the wellbeing of women and their partners through the journey of pregnancy and birth. Birthlight uses body-based practices inspired from yoga and traditional modes of parenting supported by scientific research and in depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology. As the focus on pregnancy and birth becomes increasingly medical and science based, Birthlight works in partnership with mainstream healthcare to ensure the physical and emotional nurturing of pregnant women and their families. This DVD program focuses on the unique techniques of adapted yoga, moving postures, micro movements, breathing awareness, spinal alignment and flowing movement to help women experience the best pregnancy possible. In addition, this DVD includes a bonus section for Post Natal Recovery which includes exercises to begin doing immediately after birth to start the healing process. 

Birthlight was founded by Françoise Freedman. As a medical anthropologist at the University of Cambridge, Françoise travelled to various parts of the world studying indigenous cultures for medical research. While pregnant in the Amazon rainforest in Peru, she received advice from indigenous women on movements to do for easing discomforts and adapting to the changes in her body, experiencing benefits first hand. Over time, Françoise set about incorporating these techniques into her yoga practice and Birthlight was formed.

★★★★★ A unique yoga practice suitable for pregnancy
Breathing techniques, simple and unique yoga movements particularly effective. This DVD is very well detailed, nice to look at, the exercises are easy to practice safely at home everyday. I highly recommend this beautiful DVD. I am delighted with my purchase.

★★★★★ Great for Every Pregnant Woman
Gosh, I'll have to be fit to do this, I thought at first, but found that, very cleverly, there is a choice of voice overs, one of which welcomes all fitness levels, no matter how stiff, the chance to practice, even if you've never done yoga before. I enjoyed hearing about the reasons behind the moves. I found the pelvic floor VERY helpful, and the bonus features great to dip into when short on time. Because some sections are fun to watch as well as practice along to, and there is a bit for after baby is born, this is going on the top of my gift list for pregnant friends.
