As a mom, giving birth was the most amazing experience ever. I never thought my body had that much strength and power in a moment. When I was more than exhausted, my body knew exactly what to do. Thanks to Desi and her prenatal yoga class, I learned to focus on my body, to trust and believe in its strength and power, and to keep on breathing calmly in the biggest pain. Thank you, Desi! I can't put it into words how much you helped us." -Conny Fendler, MD, Obstetrics and Gynecology Physician "It is not an exaggeration to say that Desi Bartlett is my role model. She's one of those women who seems to have it all together-her family, her kids, her attitude, her body. Yet she's relentlessly positive and will do anything to uplift the people around her. Desi's secret to success is her yoga practice. In Your Strong Sexy Pregnancy: A Yoga and Fitness Plan, you get Desi's fitness plan to give you the tools to thrive during pregnancy. Desi offers advice that is accessible, yoga sequences for every body, and the practical kind of information that is road-tested-or, well, mat-tested.

She coached me using her yoga expertise, and brought me on a spiritual journey that connected me to my little girl as she grew inside. I love this woman!" -Kate Hudson "I had the distinct pleasure of working with Desi at Gaiam, where she innovated new concepts for fitness and yoga equipment. Desi has the innate ability to distill complex information into relatable and approachable methodologies. Her passion and gentle nature radiate through her words and actions and embody her essential being. Desi's work with new moms provides a safe place for women going through what is likely to be both a challenging and an exhilarating time in their lives. There is no better person to guide women along their physical and emotional journey to motherhood." -Susan Haney, Former Senior Vice President and General Merchandise Manager for Gaiam
