Yoga for Pain-Free and Happy Pregnancy (10 AM)

1. How does yoga help with pregnancy-related discomforts?

Yoga helps relieve common pregnancy discomforts like back pain, fatigue, and swelling by improving posture, increasing flexibility, and enhancing circulation. Gentle stretches ease muscle tension, while deep breathing promotes relaxation and reduces stress. Regular practice also strengthens the body, making it easier to carry extra weight and adapt to physical changes during pregnancy.

2. What should I wear for the yoga classes?

Wear comfortable, stretchy clothing that allows free movement and keeps you cool. A supportive sports bra and a non-slip yoga mat are recommended for stability. If needed, keep yoga props like blocks or straps nearby for additional support, especially in later stages of pregnancy.

3. Can I continue practicing yoga in the later stages of pregnancy?

Yes, yoga is safe throughout pregnancy with appropriate modifications. In the third trimester, the focus shifts to relaxation, breathing techniques, and gentle movements that prepare your body for labor. As your belly grows, certain poses are adjusted to ensure comfort and safety.

4. How are the classes modified for each trimester?

Each trimester has different needs, and the yoga practice adapts accordingly. The first trimester includes gentle stretches and breathing exercises to ease nausea and fatigue. The second trimester introduces strength-building postures for stability and endurance. The third trimester focuses on relaxation, deep breathing, and pelvic-opening exercises to prepare for childbirth.

5. Are there any specific yoga poses to avoid during pregnancy?

Yes, some poses should be avoided or modified based on your trimester. Deep twists, intense backbends, and poses that require lying flat on your back for extended periods may not be suitable. Our instructors guide you through safe variations to ensure both you and your baby remain comfortable and supported.

6. How does yoga help with mental well-being during pregnancy?

Pregnancy can bring a mix of emotions, and yoga helps balance them by promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Breathing techniques calm the nervous system, while mindfulness practices encourage a positive mindset. Regular yoga sessions can also improve sleep quality, ease anxiety, and help you feel more connected to your baby.

7. Can yoga help with an easier labor and delivery?

Yes, prenatal yoga strengthens the body and improves flexibility, both of which are essential for labor. Breathing exercises help with pain management, while specific poses open the hips and improve pelvic mobility. Practicing yoga regularly can lead to a smoother delivery by keeping you physically and mentally prepared.

8. Is it safe to start yoga if I have never done it before?

Absolutely! Prenatal yoga is beginner-friendly and designed specifically for pregnancy. The sessions focus on gentle movements and guided breathing techniques, making it safe and accessible even if you have never practiced yoga before. Our instructors ensure that each pose is adapted to your comfort level.

Yoga is more than just a practice for me—it’s a way of life. My journey began in the year 2015 when I started doing yoga for my own self. I was suffering from back pain which was quite severe and was advised by the doctor to do physiotherapy but i chose Yoga which not only helped me rectify my back pain completely but has now become a part of my lifestyle……my passion through which I am able to healthify others as well.

I started taking sessions and gradually become a certified yoga instructor. The feeling of contentment that i get when my students say, “maam….my back pain is no more ..my thyroid meficines has reduced….i am getting good sleep ….my mind and body is relaxed” makes me sooo happy. I am very fortunate to be able to pass on this gift to others and be a part to make their journey in life more happier and healthier.
