That’s right!! Yoga and Pregnancy work great together!! My best friend who is 3 months pregnant has been practicing yoga for as long as I can remember. She started when she was in college so it has become a lifestyle for her which she didn’t want to change when she got in the family way. After hearing from her about her yoga regimen, I did some research on the prenatal and postnatal yoga practices.
Recommended Pre- Natal Poses:
Hip openers like Pigeon, Warrior II, Triangle, Ardha Chandrasana, Baddha Konasana, and Knee to Ankle will help create the flexibility that will make giving birth easier.
Recommended Post- Natal Poses:
Downward Dog, Triangle and the SuryaNamaskar.
