Yoga and Pregnancy

Many times we asked ourselves is exercise ok for pregnancy or concieving. Well i think we should forgo those strenous exercise during the 2 week wait and maybe replace by yoga instead.

Benfits of yoga during pregnancy:

Yoga Exercises
These gently work on the reproductive organs and pelvis to ensure a smooth pregnancy and a relatively easy childbirth. At the subtle level, these ensure optimum supply of blood and nutrients to the developing foetus.

Breathing
These powerful techniques ensure the abundant supply of oxygen and a better life force for you and your child. These methods work on your fitness during pregnancy.

Mudras and Bandhas
The psycho-physical stimulation of these gestures and locks have powerful effects on a woman’s reproductive organs.

Meditation
Meditation will help you resolve the deepest of neuroses, fears and conflicts, which are so common during pregnancy. Meditation brings with it an incredible awareness which helps you connect with your child in a way that is impossible to explain.

Deep Relaxation
Yogic sleep is particularly effective during pregnancy for physical and mental relaxation as well as for childbirth preparation.
