3 Ways Prenatal Yoga Benefits Both Mom and Baby





Many expectant mothers are aware of the physical, mental and spiritual benefits associated with Prenatal Yoga. What they may not have known is that prenatal yoga goes far beyond increasing health and improving common side effects that come along with pregnancy for mom; it’s also incredibly beneficial for the baby, and the relationship between mom and baby. Here are three key benefits of prenatal yoga:


Connecting With Your Baby Through Your Breath

With the emphasis that yoga holds on breath, prenatal yoga allows us to slow down and hone in on the life that’s emerging inside of our body. With all that’s going on during this exciting time in our lives, we often forget to enjoy the simple pleasure derived from pregnancy. Yoga allows us to quiet our minds, focus on our breath, and connect with the growing life inside of us.


Increases Circulation, Decreases Swelling, and Enhances Immunity for Both Live

Through the practice of elongating our muscles, we release much of the tension that may come along with pregnancy. When this tension is released, we decrease the swelling that goes on in our joints, which allows more circulation through our systems, enhancing the living environment for our babies to thrive.


Decreases the Risk of Preterm Labor, Pregnancy Induced Ailments

The risk of common ailments that come along with pregnancy are also reduced through the practice of Prenatal Yoga. The most common of which is preterm labor. Prenatal Yoga has also been proven to reduce the risk of Intrauterine Growth Restriction - a condition that slow’s a baby’s growth.

Prenatal Yoga is not only a wonderful way to cope with the many changes that the female body endures during pregnancy, but it’s also a way to enhance the living environment of your baby, and connect with that sweet life flourishing inside of you. Besides, wouldn’t you be excited if your baby’s first words were “Namaste”?!
