<\/a><\/p>\n10 reasons for a pregnant woman practicing yoga!<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 –<\/strong> It improves sleep.<\/p>\n 2 –<\/strong> It reduces stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n 3 –<\/strong> It decreases back pain, nausea, headaches, shortness of breath and carpal tunnel\u00a0syndrome (which can lead to numbness, tingling, and numbness in the hands and\u00a0fingers).<\/p>\n 4 –<\/strong> It helps reduce body swelling.<\/p>\n 5 –<\/strong> It relieves constipation.<\/p>\n 6 –<\/strong> It increases the strength, flexibility and endurance of the muscles needed for<\/p>\n childbirth.<\/p>\n 7 –<\/strong> It decreases the risk of premature birth, pregnancy-induced hypertension and\u00a0restriction of intrauterine growth retardation (a condition that slows the growth of a\u00a0baby).<\/p>\n 8 –<\/strong> It allows pregnant women to meet each other during practice and exchange\u00a0experiences of this new phase.<\/p>\n 9 –<\/strong> It improves communication between mother and baby.<\/p>\n 10 –<\/strong> It stimulates stretching, mental centralization and focus on breathing (believe me,\u00a0the day of delivery you will certainly thank for learning these techniques).<\/p>\n To start practicing, the ideal thing is to wait until after the first three months and, with\u00a0the doctor releasing, perform a frequency of twice a week.<\/p>\n Teacher Souza does not advise pregnant women to practice Yoga alone. It is important\u00a0to be in the presence of an instructor with Yoga training for pregnant women.<\/p>\n Can it be done after the baby was born?<\/strong><\/p>\n “Yoga Postpartum is amazing. Again, it connects you with all the changes that have\u00a0been happening to your body. Usually, in postnatal classes, the first 20 minutes are for\u00a0the babies, with positions for them, and only after that we focus on the mother. But pay\u00a0attention: the time to resume physical activity is different from a natural birth to a C-\u00a0section. You need to check with your doctor.”<\/p>\n What pregnant women should avoid during practice?<\/strong><\/p>\n – Twist<\/p>\n – Lying belly down<\/p>\n – Strong contraction of the abdomen<\/p>\n – Holding the air<\/p>\n You should never forget this: respect the limits of your body, breathe properly, try the\u00a0postures with awareness and always with guidance. Do not forget the medical\u00a0monitoring.<\/p>\n We wish that Yoga may give you the balance, as well as the peace and quiet for that\u00a0magical moment to be healthier and happier!<\/p>\n Any questions?
