Yoga For Pregnant Women


Master your mind! Gain control over your body! Be relieved of your stress through the practice of gentle art of Yoga!

Pregnancy is a physical as well as mental experience. Women
often becomes hyper aware of all the changes their bodies are
going through. Yoga allows pregnant women to adapt to these
changes more gracefully and to feel proud and a sense of
appreciation for their bodies. Yoga exercises can increase
flexibility, strength, circulation and balance. Many pregnant
women find that regular yoga exercises help to reduce swelling,
back and leg pain, and insomnia.

However, Yoga must be practiced very carefully among pregnant
women, as improper exercises will bring negative effect on both
moms and babies. Here are some tips for pre-natal pregnancy Yoga
practice:

1. The general yoga exercises are recommended for the first 2
months. You must consult your doctor and find very experienced
Yoga teachers. With proper guidance, you can practice some yoga
right into labor. If you new to yoga then you should start
slowly.

2. Breathing exercises are beneficial if done twice a day. The
breathing exercises provide more oxygen and energy both to the
mother and the child.

3. Some yoga poses that can help a pregnant women dealing with
the symptoms of pregnancy, ensuring smoother and easier
delivery, and faster recovery after childbirth. Pregnant women
should pay attention not to overstretch the body - the
ligaments around the joints become loose and soft during
pregnancy. The abdomen should stay relaxed at all times.
Difficult and poses that put pressure on the abdomen and other
should NOT be done during advance stages of Pregnancy. No any
kind of pain or nausea should be felt during and/or after yoga.
If this happens, you should stop yoga practice and contact your
GP.

4. When carrying out standing poses with your heels to the wall
or use a chair for support to avoid losing your balance and
risking injury to both you and your baby.

5. Deep relaxation is crucial to give rest to body and mind,
and you will benefit more from a good sleep. Deep relaxation
helps the nerve system change from sympathetic to
parasympathetic activity. Parasympathetic activity is
associated with the restorative processes of the body, which is
needed both by the pregnant woman and the child.

We also strongly recommend regular morning and evening walks.
