This review is from: The Alexander Technique Birth Book: A Guide to Better Pregnancy, Natural Childbirth and Parenthood (Paperback)

I am a certified Alexander Technique teacher, and I specialize in prenatal care. This book is THE BEST. Ilana Machover has taught birthing classes with an Alexander Technique focus in the UK for many years. The book is divided by stage of pregnancy and stages of labor. There are detailed descriptions (and beautiful photos and drawings) of how to work with yourself in each stage. Plus all kinds of great factual information about childbirth. It's easiest to learn Alexander Technique with a teacher's assistance. This book is an excellent resource along the way. I recommend it to all my prenatal students.
