Yoga During Pregnancy
Benefits of yoga:
  • Increases flexibility- Each posture has specific benefits. The cat pose for
    example, will help you to increase flexibility of the spine and back, particularly
    the lower back that is often a problem area during pregnancy. Heroine pose is
    recommended for nausea and indigestion.
  • Releases tension- Yoga can help to strengthen your supporting muscles and
    release tension along the spine and rib cage and in the upper chest, neck
    and shoulders opening the body into proper alignment. As posture improves,
    the diaphragm can move more easily, allowing fuller respiration.
  • Release fatigue- Deep breathing exercise will relieve fatigue and is important
    for your health plus for the foetus.
  • Calms your emotions- The well-being and equilibrium of your pregnant body
    will have a significant impact on you and your baby. As you prepare for
    childbirth and motherhood, you are already creating an environment for your
    developing child. Yoga helps to calm your emotions and also quits your mind.
    The attention is turned inward, connecting you with your baby, which makes
    you feel beautiful and proud.
  • Easy labor and delivery- Yoga excellently helps in preparation for labor and
    delivery. If you do Yoga your labor will progress more easily. Only thing, you
    have to work with, rather than against contractions. The yoga will teach you to
    become aware of each part of your body and release tension and constriction
    using the breath. During labor, you can use this technique to help relax the
    uterus. For specific yoga exercise you can contact any certified yoga instructor.
