South Beach Prenatal Yoga Instructor Guides Expectant Mothers with Yoga DVD Designed to Strengthen Body & Mind

Online, January 31, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Certified Yoga Instructor, Yoga Therapist and Pre-Natal Yoga Instructor, Jess Elizabeth, is sharing her customized yoga techniques with expectant mothers in "South Beach Prenatal Yoga". The informative DVD is intended for women to use throughout their pregnancy, with modifications for each trimester including breathing techniques, self-acupressure point instruction and testimonials from enthusiasts and medical professionals.

Among the first of its kind, South Beach Prenatal Yoga provides expectant mothers with the necessary tools and step-by-step instructions to regularly practice yoga where they feel most comfortable. Jess' program is designed to increase energy and help prepare the body for childbirth, allowing for soon-to-be-moms to enjoy their pregnancy and embrace this new addition to their body.

South Beach Prenatal Yoga selected Jess Elizabeth to instruct the video and share her techniques based upon her life purpose of encouraging women to have a deeper connection with themselves, their babies and the amazing journey of pregnancy. Jess was voted "Best Yoga Instructor" by City Link Magazine and has an inspiring yoga-focused past that has shaped her life's mission. At the age of 20, Jess discovered she had pre-cancerous cells in her breast and underwent a lumpectomy. During recovery, she utilized yoga and meditation techniques as an alternate form of therapy. Her deep understanding of the body-mind connection provided the foundation for her spiritual journey.

This life altering experience inspired Jess to study various forms of therapeutic yoga and she became certified as a Professional Yoga Therapist for HIV, Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis patients. Prenatal certification came shortly after, when Jess became pregnant with her daughter. After the filming of South Beach Prenatal Yoga, Jess was once again diagnosed with Cancer and even when dealing with the effects of the disease, Jess continues to practice yoga on a daily basis. She strongly believes in the importance of touching people's lives and views her intense, meaningful work as her own path to wellness.

Belly Power, which produced the DVD, is a collaboration between Celestial Films, a company whose principals, Michelle Jayme and April Ruane Crowley, have more than a decade of experience producing commercials and other media, and Director Maria Mendez Reed.
