WHAT IS PREGNANCY YOGA?
Pregnancy is a time of mental and physical change. It is a wonderful and very personal journey, but can also be a challenging time as your body starts to change shape and adjust to it’s new demands. A pregnancy yoga practice can help with some of these changes, allowing you to be present in your body as well as helping you to prepare for and bond with your unborn baby. Yoga has a calming effect which is transmitted to your baby.
During pregnancy yoga classes many of the classical poses are modified to accommodate the changes in your body. Postures are open, fluid and nurturing, creating space in your body and helping to alleviate some common ailments, such as backache, heartburn and fluid retention.
Breathing techniques learnt in pregnancy yoga classes can be used at anytime during pregnancy and can be very useful during the birthing process. By learning to control the breath women may feel empowered and more in control of their thoughts and body.
OTHER BENEFITS OF PREGNANCY YOGA
By practising yoga, the body is strengthened and toned. Many women find that they regain their shape and fitness more quickly after giving birth. In addition to this, spending time in a pregnancy yoga class with other women can be an emotionally bonding experience.
