Tai Chi and Qi Gong during pregnancy

"A thoroughly successful book for those who like the Far Eastern touch (...). In any case, a good basis for regular practice - probably more in a group than alone, in order to overcome the inner 'lazy dog'."
GERMAN MIDWIVES MAGAZINE 4/2014

"Barbara Reik gives detailed instructions on how expectant mothers can experience a new joy of movement with gentle and flowing relaxation exercises. Through the use of imagination and positive thoughts, a relaxed, cheerful book for pregnant women and mothers has been created that combines exercise and health with joy and well-being."
Prof. Dr. med. Albrecht Hettenbach, Chief Physician of the Gynaecological Clinic Göppingen, ALB FILS Clinics

"I am delighted that all women and men are finally being given a well-founded book about Tai Chi and Qi Gong during and after pregnancy. It is a great asset for therapists, midwives, doctors and mothers and a valuable aid in dealing with difficult everyday problems with practical exercises. Barbara Reik teaches these exercises with so much inner conviction, idealism and clarity that it immediately spills over to everyone."
Christiana Helth, qualified physiotherapist

"I am a mother of two small children and I do Tai Chi and Qi Gong as regularly as possible because it helps me relax and switch off, distract myself, find balance and myself and I feel that I react more calmly and relaxed. I have integrated the exercises into my everyday life; it is not only good for me, but for the whole family!"
Sonja Neumann, educator

"This series of exercises contains gentle, elastic, circular, spiral movements that are naturally harmonized with breathing. The mind calms down during the exercises, so that an effective effect on health and well-being is achieved."
Lena Du Hong, specialist trainer at the Laoshan Centre, Hamburg/Lao Shan, China

"Barbara Reik's exercise program has a balancing and invigorating effect, especially during pregnancy - a harmonious concept in a very special time!"
Elke Caesar, midwife

"As Barbara Reik shows in her new book (...), problems with the back and intervertebral discs disappear; the sense of balance, immune system, heart and circulation as well as digestion improve. The gentle exercises make pregnancy and birth easier. Breathing exercises also help to reduce stress: deep and relaxed breathing is important for the expectant mother and the unborn child - and also a perfect preparation for the birth."
