Yoga during pregnancy – with love for yourself

A woman’s body undergoes great changes during pregnancy, especially the muscles of the back, neck and pelvis.

Yoga classes for pregnant women are:

• work with posture and gentle muscle strengthening
• increasing body flexibility
• preparing for childbirth physically and emotionally
• breathing practices and the ability to focus
• reducing anxiety, falling asleep better

Yoga will help you tune in to yourself, feel harmony and find inner support.
Recommended for all healthy pregnant women – under the supervision of qualified instructors!
If necessary, you can choose an individual program.

Yoga during pregnancy

Both during pregnancy and during the period of caring for a baby, a woman’s body undergoes significant changes. The muscles of the back, neck, and pelvis are particularly stressed.

To prepare yourself for changes in the body and possible difficulties, you should pay a lot of attention to training.

Yoga for pregnant women is a set of asanas aimed at working with the back muscles, increasing the flexibility of the spine, opening and expanding the pelvis, as well as working with breathing and attention.

Why do you need yoga

Observations prove that women who prepare for childbirth physically and psychologically are more often satisfied with their childbirth. They receive more positive emotions and have fewer interventions and difficulties during childbirth and the postpartum period.

Yoga classes for expectant mothers are recommended for almost all healthy pregnant women. If there are any difficulties during classes or certain symptoms are bothering you during pregnancy, then you should consult a doctor or think about choosing an individual program.
