Four points to pay attention to when pregnant women practice yoga

What issues should pregnant mothers pay attention to when practicing yoga to avoid injuries and achieve fitness results? Let's take a look at the following four points.

1. Choose the right practice time

In the first stage of pregnancy, pregnant mothers often give up any strenuous physical exercises because they cannot persist. It is recommended that pregnant mothers start practicing yoga from the fourth month of pregnancy, 2 to 3 times a week, each time with their own body. Comfort is appropriate.

2. Increase the amount gradually and slowly

If you have no history of miscarriage and are in good health, then as long as you feel ready, you can do some gentle exercises that enhance your body strength and improve muscle flexibility and tension. It is important to note that you must increase the amount of exercise slowly and not suddenly increase the amount of exercise and extend the exercise time. If you have a history of habitual miscarriages or are particularly weak, you should choose your exercises carefully.

3. Adjust your posture to suit you

Throughout pregnancy, pregnant mothers can practice different yoga postures, but they must be based on personal comfort. The practice of yoga must vary from person to person and must be coordinated with your physical condition. If you feel uncomfortable during practice, you should immediately ask your coach to adjust it. Don't care about the degree of body positions other people are doing during practice. You must concentrate on yourself. Don't watch what others practice and you practice. You must know that people and your physical conditions may vary greatly.

4. The practice place is safe and reliable

Exercise during pregnancy is necessary, but it must not be excessive. If there is slight bleeding or the doctor requires bed rest, you need to stop exercising. Whether you have practiced yoga before or for the first time, pregnant women must obtain permission from a doctor or midwife and practice it under the guidance of a qualified yoga instructor who has experience in teaching pregnant women.

When practicing yoga for pregnant mothers, they must do what they can according to their physical conditions, and always consult the yoga instructor. They must not practice blindly. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
