Yoga can prepare the expectant mother for child birth by relaxing and softening the pelvic area. It can also help to release backache – which is common during pregnancy – and improve breathing. The class creates a safe and supportive space for the mother to relax and to connect with the baby. It can calm the mind and reduce anxiety. Generally it is safe to start a class after your first trimester.
I am a mother of two children: ages 8 and 3. I practised yoga throughout all stages of my pregnancies and can’t even imagine how I would have managed without it!
Yoga is excellent practice after giving birth. It can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and help to align the spine as well as helping you to deal with the stress of having a new baby.
