5 Yoga Moves You Should Try During Your Pregnancy
Exercising during your pregnancy can be challenging but that doesn’t mean you should skip it. You may have to scale things back and make adjustments because of your new frame, but don’t let your belly (or your baby) deter you from staying in shape. Yoga is an excellent prenatal activity. Whether you’re an official yogi or just getting started, there are plenty of positive reasons to try prenatal yoga. For example, the Mayo Clinic states yoga can help reduce stress, ease pain, improve flexibility and strength and help prepare you for your delivery.
Knowing which moves to do while practicing yoga can get confusing -- especially if you’re giving it a try at your house with an online instructor. We recommend consulting with your doctor before you even lay on your mat to determine how much physical activity your body can handle.
