    Ta Everyone. I am however, not able to have a natural birth and have to have a C section. I am looking for, if available a Yoga Dvd that is open to that. *As in not referring to: this position is perfect for birth, or when contractions come ect.

    I am not sure if I am able to find such a dvd but I am going to try for that first. I believe it would just depress me if I found one that was more suited to woman that can have natural birth. Sorry should of been more specific.

    Any help would be fabulous. Thanks so much. : )

    I think you'll find that they all talk about vaginal birth in some way. You can do it knowing that the asanas are predominantly devised with the pregnant body in mind, rather than the birth itself. The one I have is like that, even though it mentions birth. In my case I have to adapt certain asanas anyway, because of my SPD and the fact that due to this I will never birth squatting on dry land, simply because my pelvis would give way and I'd crash to the floor doing the splits!
    As with all yoga, you go with your body and your circumstances and no more. It's about wellbeing, not depressing yourself over what you can't do - as with any exercise, and particularly with yoga, which has no set level of attainment.
    You're only limited by your own mind

    Gotcha. Never ment it that way. I am all for positive thoughts. Just would like to avoid it, if possible. But like everything else that has to do with C- sections. It is not an easy find. Thanks though. : )
