In this fully illustrated book, with step-by-step exercises and techniques, Ohashi offers his holistic Ohashi Method® approach for a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Some of the Eastern routines he presents in this volume have been practiced for centuries, and many others are Ohashi’s own adaptations specifically designed to meet the needs of the expectant mother and family.

First published in 1983, Natural Childbirth, The Eastern Way, synthesized the techniques and experience Ohashi used during his wife’s pregnancy and delivery of their son.
Sadly, this important book by Ohashi went out of print, leaving very few available copies. Recently, several boxes of this book were unexpectedly found in storage. In spite of some slight cover damage, we wanted to offer its valuable contents for the benefit of interested readers.
