A Movement Educator's Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth 

Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Handspring Publishing

Written for movement professionals of all kinds, this book is packed full of research, practices and information to allow you to work confidently with your pregnant and post-natal clients.

Taking a whole-body approach, master movement educator Jennifer Gianni gives readers the tools to educate and empower their clients throughout their pregnancy, birth and beyond. Gianni demonstrates how movement throughout the pregnancy journey can regulate the nervous system and unlock the many possibilities of shape and space that our pelvis can open into during labor and delivery.

This fantastic resource includes over 100 different movement tinctures, daily movement upgrades, and breathing sequences. Many of the exercises also have accompanying videos online.

Jennifer Gianni has over thirty years of experience in the movement world and has been training teachers in pre and postnatal movement for over two decades. She continues to teach throughout the United States, as well as internationally. Her work has been published in several magazines including FitPregnancy, Shape Magazine, and Pilates Style. Jennifer Gianni is the owner/creator and director of FusionPilatesEDU.com. She lives in North Carolina.
