Are you doing Yoga for Pregnancy?

[ashishrawat]

There is some specific Yoga for pregnant women. During the pregnancy, you can do those these Yoga Pranayama and Asana. Is there any who do Yoga here?

I didn't do yoga but know that there are classes and videos directed at the pregnant woman to do it.  I walked a lot and lifted light weights when pregnant.

Yes, doing yoga during pregnancy will be beneficial for both the mother and the baby. It will help to relax and provides physical needs of pregnancy, birth, and labor. However, while doing yoga you must take care that yoga does not cause any harm to your pregnancy. Here are some Yoga asanas for your pregnancy.

For first trimester – Tadasana, Majariasana, Uttanasana, Shavasana
For second trimester – Virbhadrasana, Meru Aksharshanasan, Utthanasan, Vajrasan
For third trimester – Pranayam, Utkatasana, Trikonasana

It has been seen that yoga is safe for a pregnant woman however before starting a prenatal yoga you must consult with your doctor.

Ya, speak to your doctor but it is such a gentle exercise, would think most can do it.  Do you maintain weight with yoga?
