What is Yoga for Pregnancy?

Pregnancy is not only about NOT doing things wrong (the focus of most pregnancy books), but THE time in a woman’s life when she is the most open to connecting with the mystery and joy of what is happening. Yoga is body, mind and soul!

What are the Benefits?

  • Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual preparation for birth
  • A time to connect with self and baby. Celebrating this bond!
  • Preparing the body to carry baby through pregnancy, labor and beyond
  • Preventing common problems, helping to maintain a "normal" life
  • Physically: addressing aches and pains, energizing AND relaxing
  • Getting in touch with your changing body, appreciating its power and beauty
  • Learning to trust, have confidence in your body’s strength and wisdom
  • Tools to deal with pain, deepen concentration, learn breath control
  • Learning to go with the flow. What we can control and what we need to release
  • A time to discuss pregnancy concerns and questions, and to share advice and experience

Caution:

Please consult your health care provider for the advisability of undertaking yoga when you have specific health problems. Avoid yoga videos and books if you don’t know what you’re doing! Many are not appropriate for pregnancy, and some styles assume a very high level of physical fitness.
