Yoga for Pregnant Women

Give yourself the gift of yoga during pregnancy to help the fetus and facilitate pregnancy and childbirth.

More than at any other time in life, pregnancy connects body and mind and makes us more aware of bodily sensations and experiences. Yoga practice is our way to enjoy and take care of ourselves during pregnancy and childbirth. Yoga contributes to physical and mental health by bringing peace and relaxation; to the normal functioning of the respiratory, digestive, and excretory systems; to better posture and flexibility, and more. Studies that have examined the effect of yoga on pregnant women have found that yoga practice helps reduce mental stress and physical pain during pregnancy, through labor and delivery, and right up to postnatal medical interventions.
