yoga works within the body's guidelines, which is why many
mothers-to-be find it to be the perfect exercise to continue through
pregnancy. The fluid asanas are designed to respect any limitations
while still maximizing the many benefits of the practice, such as
Increased circulation
Toned muscles
Improved mobility
Maintaining physical and mental balance
The deep breathing necessary for working through yoga poses
properly is another benefit to prenatal yoga. Deep breathing calms the
mind and spirit, so seeking this relaxed state will ease each
transition of pregnancy. Additionally, understanding how to use breath
to manage pain, tension and stress will be helpful during labor and childbirth. This is a free drop-in class butpre-registration is welcome.
