Nine benefits of yoga for pregnant women

Yoga is a very good exercise for pregnant women. It can help you a lot, but you must remember to practice it under the guidance of a professional teacher. The following are some specific explanations for yoga for pregnant women, and I would like to thank the original author here.

1. Improve blood circulation and relieve physical discomfort

Through yoga practice, you can improve blood circulation in the body, strengthen muscle strength and flexibility, strengthen hip, spine and abdominal muscles to support the baby's weight in the womb, relieve waist soreness and back pain, strengthen joints and muscles, and prevent Bone loss and muscle fatigue.

2. Breathe smoothly and relax physically and mentally

By practicing yoga, you can learn the correct breathing techniques and relaxation methods, so that your heart and lung muscles are in good condition, laying the foundation for natural labor and post-natal recovery.

3. Control abdominal muscle strength and shorten labor

During the exercise, you relax or control the muscles in your abdomen, expand your pelvis and contract your uterus. This will greatly help relieve or reduce the pain and discomfort during labor, allowing you to enjoy the happiness of shortening the labor process.

4. Build self-confidence and maintain peace of mind

Confidence during pregnancy is very important for maintaining peace of mind, and yoga practice during pregnancy can help you build confidence. You will feel that you are close to labor. You are full of expectations for natural labor and post-partum body recovery. At the same time, regular yoga exercise can help you reduce a lot of postpartum pain and fatigue.

5. Improve attention and reduce anxiety

Yoga breathing for pregnant women empowers you to relax your nerves, improve your attention, allow you to better understand your body and fetal development, relieve prenatal anxiety, tension and fear, and make your delivery smoother and safer.

6. Enhance the balance of the body

After practicing for a period of time, you will find that the flexibility and flexibility of your entire muscle tissue have been greatly improved, and you will walk smoothly. Even if your stomach becomes bigger and heavier day by day, you will still feel a balanced force supporting your body. No longer have to worry about accidents because you walk unsteadily.

7. Improve shortness of breath and depression

During the practice of yoga, glands that control hormone secretion are stimulated to increase and accelerate blood circulation. As a result, breathing is well controlled, and chest tightness and shortness of breath are improved.

8. Improve sleep and eliminate insomnia

Practicing yoga makes your sleep better, insomnia is gone, and the situation where you were uncomfortable no matter how you lay down is no longer there. You find that it is easy for you to fall asleep and sleep until dawn.

9. Let your baby be flexible and sensitive and grow up healthily

While practicing yoga, it can give the fetus appropriate and gentle stimulation and massage, which increases the fetus's response to the outside world, and the fetus can become more flexible, sensitive, and grow healthily. (Editor in charge: Zhang Guodong)
