Prenatal YogaIn a woman’s life, pregnancy is one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences. Yet, during the 9-month period, an expectant mother has to deal with a myriad of changes and emotions that can present some serious challenge.

Aside from offering a good fitness regimen, yoga practice is also ideal for easing delivery and helping women better cope with the journey to motherhood.

There have been a lot of yoga tips for beginners written and published on the web but given the fact that pregnant women face a whole new set of challenges, it is only fitting that the subject is given more interest and attention. For many, meditation during pregnancy, most especially during the last trimester proves to be highly beneficial, especially in aiding relaxation and handling anxiety. There are also prenatal yoga poses that are geared towards preventing water retention.

However, practicing yoga during pregnancy has a number of guidelines that you need to keep in mind. To enhance your yoga practice experience all throughout pregnancy, here are some tips:

Prenatal Yoga Poses Can Ease Delivery

During the first trimester, focus on performing standing yoga postures as they can help strengthen the leg muscles as well as increase energy and improve blood circulation. Regular yoga practice can also help prevent leg cramps. When performing yoga during pregnancy, it is highly recommended that it is under a supervision of a trained yoga instructor, given the delicate condition. A convenient option is to enroll in private yoga classes.

Special Yoga Pose Guidelines

One important yoga tip for beginners who are pregnant is to keep in mind that there are a number of poses that cannot be performed during pregnancy. This includes those that place pressure on the abdomen as well as complex and advanced yoga poses that may put unnecessary strain. Emphasis on twisting exercises should be on focused on the shoulders and the upper back, staying clear from the abdomen area. Inversions are definitely not recommended.

Promote Relaxation Through Breathing Exercises

Yoga Meditation During PregnancyMeditation is also a significant part of yoga. This is especially helpful upon reaching the second and the third trimester. The victory breath and the bee breath are among the highly recommended techniques that invigorate the body and assist in coping with relaxing the mind and coping with the emotional changes that comes with pregnancy. Staying happy is important not just for you but also for the baby. Consider trying guided meditation for an enhanced experience.

Watch Your Posture

As your belly grows bigger, more stress is placed on the legs and the back. In order to ease the pain, make sure to maintain proper posture to evenly distribute the weight. Be aware of how you stand, sit and walk. You will be happy to know that regular yoga practice can also improve body posture.

Pregnancy is indeed a wonderful thing and an important journey towards motherhood. Yoga can become a significant part of this entire experience and offer you great physical, psychological and emotional benefits to support a healthy and happy pregnancy.
