Pre-Natal and Postnatal Yoga- An Introduction
Pre-natal yoga has recently gained popularity as yoga’s global recognition has grown. Pregnant women are looking for healthy strategies to stay fit and comfortable during their pregnancy. Prenatal yoga not only assists in achieving this goal, but also in preparing for labour and improving the baby’s health.
Pregnancy is a miraculous process in which you learn about your body while also creating a new life within it. It is not easy for a woman because many emotional, physical, and hormonal changes occur during this nine-month journey. Expectant mothers are more knowledgeable these days, and many pregnant women are concerned about their health, their baby’s correct growth and development, weight control throughout and after the pregnancy, and, most importantly, a normal and trouble-free birth. The good news is that there is something that can alleviate all of your tension and anxiety while also promoting good health for you and your baby, and that is prenatal yoga.
