Yoga for pregnant help you to relax, stay fit and bond with other pregnant women and prepare for the stress of being a new parent.
Much like other types of childbirth-preparation classes, yoga for pregnancy is a multifaceted approach to exercise that encourages stretching, mental centering and focused breathing. Research suggests that prenatal yoga is safe and can have many benefits for pregnant women and their babies.
1. Supports Your Changing Body
Our bodies are always changing. But in pregnancy, the body experiences “an accelerated pace of change,” she says. by offering women healthy, safe ways to stretch their muscles and strengthen their bodies – their lower bodies in particular – to ease the process of supporting a growing belly.
2. Prepares for Labor and Delivery
A top priority in yoga for pregnancy classes is teaching women they can trust that their bodies will open up to labor and birth. When we’re afraid, we tighten up and that tightening leads to what she calls a “fear-tension-pain cycle.” This can sabotage a woman’s efforts to remain present and calm in labor, especially if she hopes to experience childbirth with minimal or no pain medication.
Working to connect with yogic methods of deep, mindful breathing can help the body loosen and get to a mammalian place.
