The benefits of yoga during pregnancy and birth include:
The benefits of yoga during pregnancy and birth include:
- Promotes relaxation, stress management, and emotional wellbeing
- Improves general fitness (stamina) and health for the pregnancy and birth. The nervous, hormonal, and circulatory systems all benefit from a skillfully guided prenatal yoga practice
- Enhances a woman’s enjoyment of the journey of pregnancy as a special and sacred time and encourages her to honour herself and her baby
- Yoga increases strength, flexibility and agility. The woman is in the best possible shape for the challenges of labour (particularly for an Active Birth approach) and beyond and her body more able to recover quickly after baby has arrived
- Deep toning of the birth muscles, which helps birth and in facilitating a speedy postnatal recovery (e.g. reduce or prevent stress incontinence/prolapse)
- Improves overall circulation and can help with fluid retention (reducing swelling in the ankles/legs)
- Can reduce or alleviate back problems common in pregnancy (problems caused by the growing weight of the baby and the increase in breast size)
- Improves posture, balance and coordination
- Can help ease heartburn, oedema (fluid retention), muscle cramps, and constipation
- Helps a woman birth consciously and powerfully! Conscious relaxation and yogic breathing help the mother to stay present, relax and revive and refocus her energies during labour.
All of these benefits are shared between the mother and her growing baby, as "what's good for mum is good for bub - and vice versa!"
