Pregnancy causes a dramatic change in the body and mind of every woman. With those changes come aches and pains that cannot be cured with painkillers. Many doctors suggest light exercise to keep healthy for moms and babies. Pregnancy yoga is a great example of the light exercise and meditation that would benefit a pregnant woman. During the second and third trimesters, prenatal yoga is the most beneficial.  The first trimester often brings morning sickness and slight changes, but when the baby begins to grow is when yoga helps the most.
Yoga during pregnancy can be done at home or from a health center in your local area. There are certain things that should be considered off limits for those who are pregnant and practicing yoga. When you start your yoga for pregnancy reasons, inform your instructor right away. Some of the main things that recommended for pregnant women to avoid are; Asanas poses, doing poses without a wall or chair support, Hot or Birkham yoga, backbends and headstands.
There are many poses that are recommended for yoga in pregnancy classes. These are more relaxed poses that have you concentrate on breathing and balancing your center. Some of these poses include; Butterfly Stretch, Cat-Cow, Cobra (not face down), Side Angle pose, Standing forward bend, and Triangle pose.  During the first trimester, a woman is recommended to be very careful with any type of workout. The further along in your pregnancy progresses, you will learn your limits and how far you can push your body.
If you are more comfortable staying home and doing a light workout, then a pregnancy yoga DVD may be a better option for you. There are many warnings with doing a yoga workout at home while pregnant. You may want to have someone with you just in case of any complications or problems that could occur. If having someone there is not a possibility, then having a phone nearby for emergencies is a suggestion.
Yoga and pregnancy is a wonderful combination that can help with the difficulties of pregnancy. Safety for the mother to be and the baby is always the first priority and should never be look over. Pregnancy yoga should be taken slow and steady. If you ever experience at position that does not feel right or that hurts, stop immediately. If you have any questions or concerns about practicing yoga while pregnant, make sure to consult your physician.
