INTRODUCTION
  • Pregnancy is a beautiful time in every womans
    life. As a new life starts out in your womb, your
    body goes through a number of small and big
    changes.
  • Everyone talks about taking care of your unborn
    baby and showering him or her with love and
    affection. What they dont pay enough stress on
    is that you need to give yourself love and
    attention too.

Basic Dos and Donts
  • When you learn of your pregnancy, you should ask
    your doctor to set up regular check-ups and for a
    list of dos and donts. You need to avoid
    stress, eat balanced meals, sleep properly every
    night and exercise regularly. When it comes to
    exercising, your lifestyle plays a key role in
    designing a workout schedule. If you go to the
    gym regularly, you could continue doing so but if
    youve been living a sedentary life, you need to
    start slow. Yoga is the ideal form of exercise
    for pregnant women.

Yoga and Pregnancy
  • Practicing yoga poses during pregnancy balances
    physical and mental wellbeing and is a great way
    to stay active. It keeps you fit and flexible,
    reduces anxiety and helps keep you calm. The
    breathing techniques can also improve your sleep
    and help you get ready for childbirth.  Yoga also
    boosts confidence levels and helps expectant
    mothers get over the fear of how they will handle
    the next stage of their lives.

Yoga and Pregnancy
  • Yoga can be practiced by anyone but not all types
    of yoga are beneficial for expectant women. Avoid
    trying new postures and go slow in your progress.
    It is important to tell the yoga teacher about
    your pregnancy. Alternatively, you can look at
    pregnancy yoga images online and practice
    pregnancy yoga at home. As the pregnancy
    progresses, your center of gravity will shift.
    This will increase your risk of losing balance
    and hence it becomes important to use the support
    of a wall or chair whenever needed.

Prenatal Yoga Poses
  • There are many yoga poses or asanas ideal for an
    expectant woman. If you join a prenatal yoga
    class, you could learn these poses from a yoga
    teacher and share the experience with other women
    in similar stages of pregnancy. You could also
    learn the yoga poses to avoid during pregnancy.
    There are a number of pregnancy yoga or prenatal
    yoga classes in Bangalore. However, you can
    practice prenatal yoga on your own as well.
    Prenatal yoga poses can be categorized according
    to the benefits they offer.
