Pregnancy yoga is a great way to connect with your baby, other mums-to-be and your body. It offers a holistic approach to exercise that encourages stretching, gentle movements and focused breathing. Research suggests that pregnancy yoga can:
- Improve sleep
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Increase the strength, flexibility and endurance of muscles needed for childbirth
- Decrease lower back pain, nausea, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches and shortness of breath and many other pregnancy conditions
A typical prenatal yoga class includes:
Breathing: you’ll be encouraged to focus on breathing and practicing different breathing techniques.
Gentle stretching: you’ll be encouraged to gently move different areas of your body, through their full range of motion.
Postures: while standing, sitting or lying on the ground, you’ll gently move your body into different positions, aimed at developing your strength, flexibility and balance. You’ll also continue to focus on your breathing.
Cool down: at the end of each prenatal yoga class, you’ll relax your muscles and restore your resting heart rate and breathing rhythm. You’ll be encouraged to sit down and gently stretch different parts of your body.
Relaxation and mindfulness: You may be encouraged to listen to your own breathing, pay close attention to sensations, thoughts and emotions, or repeat a mantra or word to bring about a state of self-awareness and inner calm whilst connecting with your baby and ever changing pregnant body.
