Yoga exercises for pregnant women
Yoga is one of the activities you can practice during pregnancy and the better you sit you and your baby. This ancient oriental therapy has significant benefits for your body during pregnancy.
Benefits for the Body: prenatal yoga classes keep your joints flexible and help you maintain flexibility. In addition, yoga strengthens the muscles, stimulates circulation, and helps you relax, because you can use the techniques practiced in class to stay calm and have a little more control during childbirth.
Is it safe? As your pregnancy progresses, avoid positions where you can lose your balance. In the second quarter, stay away from positions that require you to be lying on your back – because as the uterus gets heavier, you can put too much pressure on major veins thus decreasing blood flow to the heart.
Also, be careful not too overstretched. Pregnant women produce more relaxin, a hormone that increases flexibility and mobility of the joints, so it is important to know your limits in order to slow down when you stretch.
