Pregnancy Yoga Poses For Every Women

Yoga is one safe and effective way to relieve the stresses and strains of pregnancy. Pregnancy yoga helps to settle the mind and prepare the body for birth through a range of breathing techniques, meditation and different positions.

Pregnancy Yoga Poses:

Cat Curls:
This position helps relieve lower back pain and to release the length of the spine, a common problem during pregnancy. Get down on your hands and knees with hands placed directly under shoulders and knees under the hips. Inhale and lift your heart, stretch back through your tail and concave your spine.

Child’s Pose:
From any kneeling position, sit your tail back toward your heels. Sit back as far as is comfortable and rest your head toward the mat. Take your knees apart to accommodate your bump. You can stack your fists and rest your forehead there or use a block if you can’t quite get down.

Camel Pose:
Camel pose is a wonderful back bend expecting moms can do since they can’t lie on their stomachs and many can’t lie on their backs. It’s important to keep the front body open especially as breasts get larger and the weight of the baby shifts the center of gravity forward.

Boat Pose:
Boat is a great post to keep the pelvic floor muscles and transverse (deepest layer of abdominals) strong. Strong abdominals will support the spine and back during pregnancy and lead to a faster delivery and recovery.

Tree Pose:
Tree is one of those poses that you can do any time and anywhere when you feel you need some extra grounding and support. Tree is great for strengthening the entire body and for balance. It is also good for opening up the hips and helping with the focus one needs for labor.
