Your Yoga Birthguide

Jenny has been teaching yoga to pregnant women for nearly thirty years and seen them flourish and bloom through their practice. With her colleague Pauline Sawyer she has established the Inner Yoga Trust and Inner Yoga School to train teachers in yoga awareness. Jenny met Sally Townsend shortly before becoming pregnant with her daughter, Beth, who was born in 1989. Sally was practising as an independent midwife and Jenny asked Sally to attend her through her pregnancy. Sally was herself pregnant with her own daughter Alice and the two women helped each other through the postnatal period and wi Sally Townsend was a Registered Midwife for over twenty years before her death in May 2008, and during this time personally delivered over a hundred and seventy babies. This book demonstrates her wonderful skills as a midwife, a teacher and a dear friend who is missed every day, especially in the completion of this book. Sally developed and ran the first pregnancy module for the Inner Yoga School alongside Jenny in 2006/7. She brought to the Inner Yoga Trust's courses an in-depth experience and comprehensive knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the mother and baby during pregnancy.
