Why do yoga and pregnancy get along? Yoga is one of the best ways to stay fit and healthy during pregnancy. Doing pregnancy yoga classes help the body to prepare for childbirth, but also the mind!
Take the time to connect and focus on yourself and on your baby. Stretch and soothe your sore back, shoulders and legs. Learn to relax, breathe and meditate in preparation for the big day.
If you do yoga regularly, you’ll love all the challenging poses.

The Benefits of practise Yoga during Gestation
The benefits of yoga for pregnant women are numerous: not only it prepares physically and mentally the body for childbirth, but at the same time it helps to soothe aches, pains, stress and insomnia.
It’s not just a practice fairly soft, but it also helps the body to stay toned, to fight the cons of pregnancy, like back pain or swelling.
Doing pregnancy yoga classes helps to strengthen muscles and hold off the pains. Yoga brings energy and greatly helps with sleep. In addition, all the exercises will help you to stay focused on breathing and movement.
How often do yoga excercises during pregnancy?
Your body during pregnancy is no longer able to do the amount of exercises that you did before.
You can practice yoga as much as you like, but it’s important that you listen to your body. For instance, if something seems not to go, abandon a position or interrupt the exercises.
The important thing as always is moderation. Don’t overdo the yoga excercises, choose the most suitable positions and movements in according to your stage of pregnancy!
However, I suggest you to consult your doctor or your yoga teacher to have more reassurance.
