Yoga

 

Yoga exercises are ways of moving or holding the body in different positions. They vary widely and gently stretch and explore all parts of your body. They are a gentle way to keep active and supple during your pregnancy. You can have a smooth pregnancy, natural childbirth and the return of your body shape after childbirth using these exercises.

 

How Yoga can help during your pregnancy:

 

 

  •  Helping to reduce nausea, morning sickness and mood swings.
  •  Raising the level of energy while also helping in slowing the metabolism to     restore calm and focus.
  •  Focus on relieving tension around the cervix and birth canal.
  •  Relieving fluid retention and cramping which can be quite common in the last  months.
  •  Influencing the position of the baby and turning it in advance if needed.      Strengthening and massaging the abdomen which help stimulate bowel            action and appetite.
  •  Focus on opening the pelvis to make labor easier and quicker.

 

 

How Yoga can help after your pregnancy:

 

 

  •  Relieving breast discomfort and upper back tension.
  •  Restoring the abdomen, uterus and the pelvic floor.
