Prenatal Yoga

Are you pregnant and looking for ways to stay fit and healthy? Yoga may be the answer. Did you know that Yoga can also help you prepare for easy labour? Just like other Yoga courses, prenatal Yoga also involves stretching, mental centering and focused breathing. 

Yoga practice offers plenty of benefits for pregnant women. Pregnant women who practice Yoga usually experience better sleep, reduced stress and anxiety, increased strength, flexibility and endurance of muscles needed for childbirth, decreased lower back pain, nausea, headaches and shortness of breath, decreased risk of preterm labour, pregnancy-induced hypertension and easier labour.

Pregnant women who practise Yoga will develop more strength in their lower body to carry the pregnancy weight and compensate for changes in balance. They will also develop strength of the upper body to handle the weight they will be carrying around after the birth of the baby. Breathing exercises in Yoga practice is also incredibly helpful during pregnancy for its calming and centering purposes. It maximises oxygen flow, which is an invaluable asset for pain management in labour and birth.
