| Yahoo! Answers: Is normal yoga (not ante-natal) safe for pregnant women? I started to go to yoga classes (not antenatal ones, as I cannot find anything that runs in the evenings in my area) but they do a lot of lying on the back, standing head down (I think it's called "the dog" position) and lots of legs-in-the-air type of things. Not much breathing exercises at all. And while normally I wouldn't even blink doing those exercises (I am quite flexible, and used to go to the gym quite often - I am concerned that in my 5th month I am not allowed to do a lot of these poses. The gym management said "do what you think you can do" - but that's not good enough, as I am still my normal self in my head, and was quite stretchy and fit and think I can do anything. I am afraid to do some harm to the baby. The instructor says she doesn't teach pregnant women as she never had any training on that |

Yoga exercises are very useful to the pregnant woman as they prepare her physically, mentally and emotionally for giving birth and becoming a mother. Besides, they alleviate some of the associated discomforts of pregnancy. Yoga is safe for pregnant women, but you need to be careful when doing it and consult a health provider before embarking on it. If you have been doing yoga before you were pregnant, it is relatively safe but be mindful of the overall response of your body to yoga. The importance of overall health when you are pregnant should be emphasized. Exercise is a way to stay healthy in the course of your pregnancy as it is beneficial to your baby as well. |
| Hi there! We know that yoga is a Hindu discipline aimed at training the consciousness for a state of perfect spiritual insight and tranquility that achieved through actions. For me is good to the pregnant women, because it is specialized as their exercise so that their baby will grow healthy when they will come up in this world. |
| That is true and I love to do yoga especially when I am all drained and very exhausted. I also do yoga when I want to get all of the tension and stress away from my body. It is really good. I have to recommend yoga to people who wants to be relieved from the day to day stress. Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing and good day to all. |

| Yoga, per se, is not bad for pregnant women but there are limitations in your movements and there are probably other methods for people like you. You should get help from a yoga instructor who can teach you the right moves. Lamaze is a great way to prepare for your delivery as it teaches you about proper breathing and relaxation techniques. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to pregnancy. |
