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. Yoga is very individual. For more great Yoga
