prenatal yoga

Prenatal yoga sounds like a healthy practice to adopt during pregnancy -- and it is. But what specifically can yoga do to help you feel great and stay calm during the most important nine months of your life? 

Your Body Gets More Support - Prenatal practice is designed to support the changes that happen in a pregnant body, by offering women healthy, safe ways to stretch their muscles and strengthen their bodies -- their lower bodies in particular -- to ease the process of supporting a growing belly.

Your Important Muscle Groups Are Toned - Prenatal yoga tones the physical body, especially the pelvic floor, hip, and abdominal core muscles, in preparation for the birthing process.

You're Better Prepared for Labor and Delivery - teaching women they can trust that their bodies will open up to labor and birth. Fear causes us to tighten up. Yoga helps breathe and release tension and fear.

You'll Connect More With Your Baby - Even the act of going to a prenatal yoga class once (or more) each week is a gentle reminder to take the time out of a busy work and home life to care for and bond with your growing baby

You'll Make Friends With Like-Minded Mamas - One of the greatest benefits of prenatal yoga may be joining a community with other expectant moms.
