What is yoga for pregnant women aimed at?

The most important thing to do during pregnancy is to develop your muscles and hips. You can also add spiritual practices that help to relax and keep the expectant mother calm. You can also add breathing practices to help with the birthing process, in general, hatha yoga, if there are no contraindications, is a great activity. If you choose a course of training for pregnant women, then yoga is your choice.

We mentioned contraindications for a reason. You should not practice yoga if there is a threat of miscarriage or premature birth, it is also forbidden to practice and in general you should avoid physical activity if you have a lot of water, if you have hypertension. Well, and if you noted in yourself severe toxicosis, then you obviously will not be up to yoga, do not even try. These are contraindications during pregnancy, and of course, here are added contraindications based on your physiology: for example, in case of spinal injuries, muscle stretching you can not practice yoga, or you can, but with caution, and after consulting your doctor.

How to choose a course of training for pregnant women?

Our website contains different exercises aimed at working out different muscle groups. If you like a complex for pregnant women, pay attention to the degree of difficulty of the asanas it contains.

Yoga before bedtime

To relax your tired muscles from the day and relax not only your mind but also your body, spend half an hour practicing this set. You’ll find breathing exercises and gentle, comfortable asanas for every level of training.

You only need to set aside ten minutes a day to strengthen your abdomen and glutes. By starting to do these exercises during pregnancy, recovery after childbirth will be quicker and more effective.

Learning to breathe correctly

Many people have heard of pranayama, but have they practiced it? Breathing is an important moment in yoga practice and in performing many asanas; in addition, correct, calm breathing promotes relaxation and harmonization of the mind. And what’s especially important for pregnant women – by learning how to breathe correctly, you’ll find that you can use the techniques you’ve learned during labor and delivery.

Strengthening the abdominal muscles

Short 10-minute asana sets can help strengthen your abdominal muscles and maintain a narrow waistline without putting undue stress on the fetus.

During pregnancy, it’s important to strengthen your crotch and pelvic floor muscles, as this will help you have a more comfortable pregnancy and a quicker recovery after delivery. The video lesson includes asanas aimed at normalizing blood flow to the pelvis and strengthening the muscles.

Hip Joint Workout

Before giving birth, it is important not only to strengthen the muscles, but also to work the joints. This is especially true for the joints and bones of the small pelvis, which are the most heavily involved in the labor process.

Lower Back Relief

Yoga complexes useful from the 8th month of pregnancy – a time when living is already quite heavy, and the lower back is constantly strained. You will need a ball – rolls on it will allow you to relax your lower body, and you can see the correct technique on our video lessons.
