How Prenatal Yoga Can Help You Have An Easier Birth

A practice uniquely designed for pregnancy, Prenatal Yoga can help support moms-to-be emotionally and physically. With an emphasis on breathing, stamina, pelvic floor work, restorative poses, and core strength, Prenatal Yoga can help you become more resilient during and after pregnancy.
Parenting can take a surprising toll on our bodies. Caregiving means lots of time spent sitting, and even the most aware yoga practitioners tend to hunch their posture when they lean forward to engage with their baby. Sitting to nurse, feed, or rock an infant can cause tightness along the hamstrings, bum muscles, and spine. And when we bend over to interact with them, we often ignore our posture and round our backs. Layer in the fatigue from the lack of sleep, and it’s no wonder new parents often feel disconnected from their bodies.

Although many of us previously relied on our yoga practice to keep us physically and mentally grounded, coming to the mat can be difficult when you have a baby. And if you are lucky enough to finally find time to practice, it’s often interrupted. Repeatedly.
