Yoga is a non-impact activity, which can nourish the tissues of the mother and baby in a gentle way. The stretching exercises make the muscles limber and warm, especially helpful when a woman is pregnant.

Yoga can be used therapeutically to relieve the associated health problems of the mother.

According to a study in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, healthy, well-conditioned women who exercised before pregnancy may continue to do so throughout pregnancy without compromising the babys health or development. Yoga is a soothing activity, even for a woman who has exercised before.

Simple pranayama like ujjayi and anuloma viloma without retention are useful in treating both low and high blood pressure.
Twisting asanas like salamba vakrasana and bharadwajasana are especially good for increasing the renal flow during pregnancy and rinsing the uterus and ovaries with blood.

These are the huge benefits of doing yoga during pregnancy.
Have you ever practiced yoga during your pregnancy? How did you felt about it???
