Review
“Gurmukh is Hollywood’s favorite pregnancy guru. . . . She draws people by the thousands each month to the Golden Bridge yoga studio in Los Angeles, and she’s considered one of the nation’s yoga superstars.” ---Los Angeles Times
Product Description
From internationally renowned yoga teacher Gurmukh comes a book on pregnancy unlike any other. Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful is a treasury of wisdom, information, and inspiration for pregnancy and motherhood based on the spiritual and physical practices of Kundalini yoga, which Gurmukh has taught for the last thirty years.
With illustrated, step-by-step instructions, she teaches time-tested techniques, meditations, and exercises that will help you physically, mentally, and spiritually. In the timeless way that women have passed down wisdom surrounding birth and child rearing to one another for centuries, Gurmukh weaves folk stories and contemporary testimonials into a program designed to help you get profound results in the shortest possible time.
The sections in this book cover each trimester of pregnancy as well as delivery and life with the baby. In her wise, gentle, and comforting voice, Gurmukh suggests meditations, exercises, and yoga positions to respond to the various needs of expectant and new mothers as you undergo dramatic body changes. Gurmukh also helps you explore and, when necessary, heal your own history and unconscious attitudes about pregnancy, birth, and parenting.
In Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful, Gurmukh gives you all the tools you need to have a healthy and happy pregnancy while increasing your connection to your partner and building compassion and prosperity. The ancient practices of yoga can lead you back to your own power as a woman, capable of more than you ever dreamed. All you need is a belief in the possibility of change and a commitment of as little as three minutes a day. Gurmukh has helped thousands of women and their families find fulfillment through the healing movements and meditations of Kundalini yoga---and she can help you, too!

Excellent,
This review is from: Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful: Experience the Natural Power of Pregnancy and Birth with Kundalini Yoga and Meditation (Paperback)
I love this book! Anyone with an open mind and an interest in natural childbirth, yoga, meditation, and women's health in general will find something that speaks to them in this book. I felt so inspired and moved by Gurmukh's story and how she came to view and teach the experience of pregnancy and childbirth in an entirely different light than what we commonly know it to be practised in the "west". I really wish I lived in LA so I could take the pre and post-natal classes at Golden Bridge! In the meantime, this book is a great resource and I have referred back to it many times.

This review is from: Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful: Experience the Natural Power of Pregnancy and Birth with Kundalini Yoga and Meditation (Hardcover)
This is a great book for pregnancy. It if full of wonderful yogic information about pregnancy and birth (much of it is hard to find elsewhere) and is written in a very accessible manner. I enjoyed it so much that I read it cover to cover as fast as I could. I think this is a helpful and comforting book for pregnant women who are new to yoga, experienced in yoga, or those who just want some conscious and uplifting information.

Floating through pregnancy!,

This review is from: Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful: Experience the Natural Power of Pregnancy and Birth with Kundalini Yoga and Meditation (Hardcover)
This book is the equivalent to a weekend spiritual retreat. All the anxiety and frustration of pregnancy is easily dissapated as Gurmukh explains the natural and beautiful process of gestation. Whenever I am feeling particular anxious or unsure I re-read a chapter. Just beautiful. Great book to read before bed instead of all the stress-inducing pregnancy manuals.
