How does yoga help during pregnancy?
Yoga provides comprehensive health benefits for to-be-mothers:
Asanas help keep the body flexible. They relieve tension around the cervix by opening up the pelvic region. This prepares to-be-mothers for labor and delivery.
Yuj Valley teaches Yoga and pranayamas that can train you to breathe deeply and relax consciously, helping you face the demands of labor and childbirth.
Yoga helps alleviate the effect of common symptoms such as morning sickness, painful leg cramps, swollen ankles, and constipation.
Asanas also help pregnant women recover faster post-delivery.
Yuj Valley teaches Yoga precautions for pregnant women
During the advanced stages of pregnancy, avoid yoga asanas that put pressure on the abdomen.
For the first trimester of pregnancy, do standing yoga poses. This will help strengthen the legs and enhance circulation. It can even reduce leg cramps.
During the second and third trimesters, reduce the time spent holding asanas to prevent fatigue. Substitute with breathing exercises and meditation.
Avoid practicing yoga from the 10th to the 14th week of pregnancy since these are crucial times and avoid doing inversion poses.
Listen to your body and do as much as you can without undue effort.
