If you are a yoga student and just recently found out that
you are pregnant you may till be able to do these exercises. Contrary to what
many people think, Yoga is good for both you and your unborn child. You will
not hurt the baby, but you will be able to create a healthy environment for the
baby if you learn to do the yoga poses correctly. You can also begin to do yoga
when you are pregnant. There are some poses that you will want to avoid, but if
you learn to avoid the harmful poses and master the poses that are suggested as
prenatal yoga. You will want to learn about these poses before you begin to do
yoga. You will want to ask your pediatrician about whom you will be able to
contact. Be sure that you know what you are doing, because you don’t want to
hurt yourself or the baby.
Yoga is beneficial because it is a mental exercise as well
as a physical one. Those who try to learn and use yoga as a meditation tool,
they are able to relax and control their breathing. This will help you during
labor, especially if you are opting to give birth without the use of drugs. You
will learn how to stay calm in your later stages of your pregnancy, since many
new mothers can easily frustrated.
You will want to learn the rules that you will need to
follow when practicing yoga when you are pregnant. First, stay hydrated,
stopping often for water breaks. If you get too overheated, your core body
temperature rises even more, which can harm the baby. For this reason, “hot”
yoga is dangerous and should be avoided while you are pregnant. You will also want to eat some extra calories
since you are eating for two, however, you will want to exercise to burn the
extra calories from yourself and the baby.
You will want to make sure that you avoid certain poses
because they can be harmful towards the baby. Lying flat on your back, for
example, can cut of blood flow to your brain and to the uterus, making you
dizzy and causing developmental problems for your baby. After your first
trimester you will not want to because it’s just not safe. Also skip positions
that are inverted, or those that require great amounts of balance. Remember
that your stomach is growing every day, so you will never be able to fully get
used to your new shape and stay balanced. Keep in mind that you don’t fall
because it can hurt yourself or the baby. If the position includes major
twisting or stretching in the abdominal region, they may also not be best for
you and your baby. Finally, avoid transitions in which you must stand quickly
from a laying or sitting position, since this can be uncomfortable and cause
you to be dizzy, as well as restrict blood flow to your uterus.
There are a lot of positions that you will find to be
helpful, however, most pregnant women will either practice yoga or they will do
things to stretch their body. You will want to talk to your yoga instructor on
what they recommend for your and your unborn child. You should also speak with
your medical doctor and ask them if yoga will help you and your baby to stay
healthy.
