Pregnancy is a time of physical change for any woman. Throughout those nine months you undergo multitude of physical, hormonal, psychological and emotional changes. What\u2019s more, they take place so fast that you barely have time to adapt to them<\/strong>. Doing yoga<\/strong> can help make mums-to-be<\/strong> more aware of these changes and help them to understand and really feel them. The asanas<\/strong> (poses) will vary over the three trimesters and will be adapted to specific needs during pregnancy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Yoga is not recommended during the first trimester<\/strong> of pregnancy unless the woman has been doing yoga regularly over the previous months. If this is the case, you should bear in mind that the physical discomfort typical of these first few months will require more passive and relaxing poses and exercises<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the second trimester<\/strong> it\u2019s a good idea to work on the spine by performing gentle exercises, as there will be tension in the lower back and this will help prevent sciatica, which is so common in pregnant women.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re in the third trimester<\/strong>, you should avoid movements where it\u2019s necessary to lie on your back. Priority is given to relaxing poses and correct breathing,<\/strong> as the baby is growing and taking up more space.<\/p>\n

Doing yoga will help you physically, psychologically and emotionally.<\/p>\n
