Yoga for pregnancy

Pregnancy is an amazing adventure and time of great change. Pregnancy is the ideal time to start yoga as it encompasses physical, emotional, and spiritual preparation that will be helpful for this unique time in woman's life. Yoga can be a wonderful and relaxing way to work out while you’re pregnant, but only if you exercise caution.

Unfortunately, there is a fear in the minds of some women that if yoga is done during pregnancy, it may lead to miscarriage. Although yoga for pregnancy follows the same principals al all yoga, it is quite different from regular yoga because it is designed with the specific requirements of the pregnant woman.

There are plenty of yoga classes for pregnancy available in most cities. If you begin yoga before your pregnancy, few changes in the ordinary yoga routine are needed until the end of the second trimester.

  4. So what are these 5 tools:


    Yoga Exercises – These gently work on the reproductive organs and pelvis to ensure a smooth pregnancy and a relatively easy childbirth. At the subtle level, these ensure optimum supply of blood and nutrients to the developing foetus.


    Breathing or Pranayama – These powerful techniques ensure the abundant supply of oxygen and a better life force for you and your child. These methods work on your fitness during pregnancy.


    Mudras and Bandhas – The psycho-physical stimulation of these gestures and locks have powerful effects on a woman’s reproductive organs.


    Meditation – As a therapeutic tool, meditation will help you resolve the deepest of neuroses, fears and conflicts, which are so common during pregnancy. Meditation brings with it an incredible awareness which helps you connect with your child in a way that is impossible to explain.


    Deep Relaxation – Yoga Nidra (Yogic sleep) is particularly effective during pregnancy for physical and mental relaxation as well as for childbirth preparation.
