We all are well aware of the results yoga can have on our abs, arms and bottom (think Madonna and Jennifer Aniston), but did you also know that yoga can help women throughout their pregnancy and during?!
Yoga during pregnancy is just as beneficial! Prenatal yoga can increase one’s flexibility, strength and endurance while decreasing swelling while diverting pains of labour.
Prenatal yoga makes one better aware of their body, which is important during the different stages of pregnancy when your body is constantly changing. Once you’re aware of your body you can better adapt to the changes as they happen.
Yoga brings your mind to the moment and uses one’s breathing to help endure the strength postures. This practice helps women in child birth, reminding them to breathe through the pain and to focus on the now and not worry about the pain that’s to come. When you’re focused on one step at a time, rather than stressing about the entire ordeal anything is possible!
In addition to all of the health benefits, prenatal yoga gives women the opportunity to connect and learn from other pregnant women, and what is better therapy than girl talk?
