flexibility, strength, circulation and balance. Many pregnant
women find that regular yoga exercises help to reduce swelling,
back and leg pain, and insomnia.

women, as improper exercises will bring negative effect on both
moms and babies. Here are some tips for pre-natal pregnancy Yoga

1. The general yoga exercises are recommended for the first 2
months. You must consult your doctor and find very experienced
Yoga teachers. With proper guidance, you can practice some yoga
right into labor. If you new to yoga then you should start
slowly.

breathing exercises provide more oxygen and energy both to the

the symptoms of pregnancy, ensuring smoother and easier
delivery, and faster recovery after childbirth. Pregnant women
should pay attention not to overstretch the body - the ligaments
around the joints become loose and soft during pregnancy. The
abdomen should stay relaxed at all times. Difficult and poses
that put pressure on the abdomen and other should NOT be done
during advance stages of Pregnancy.

or use a chair for support to avoid losing your balance and

you will benefit more from a good sleep. Deep relaxation helps
the nerve system change from sympathetic to parasympathetic

restorative processes of the body, which is needed both by the
pregnant woman and the child.
