She says she thinks that it is a method for relaxing your body in
general and for pregnancy it specifically works on the vaginal
muscles(kegels???).
If anyone has any more information on this method I would love to hear
about it!"

There is a well known exercise system here, founded by a woman named Paula
(don't remember last name right now) . The system stresses the importance
of exercising the "round" muscles, or sphinters, in the various areas of
the body. There are workshops and it is sometimes adopted into other
exercise
classes, as far as I know. I haven't heard of it being used in prenatal
classes- though it sounds fitting- has anyone else?
